Atul Kohli

  • Systematically compares British and American imperialism over more than two centuries
  • Crosses international relations, diplomatic history, and the political economy of development
  • Demonstrates that core countries pursue a range of predictable methods to control those on the global periphery
  • Establishes that imperialism is driven by the needs of metropolitan countries to pursue national economic prosperity
  • Shows the impact of imperial control on the prospects of sustained development in poor countries of the world
