Abstract

The collection of essays in the book 'Progress and Problems in Medieval England: Essays in Honour of Edward Miller,' can be distinguished from other collections not only in their excellence but in their unity of concepts. The primary concepts of medieval English economic history regarding demographic, commercial, monetary and peasant agrarian history are all integrated into one book. It starts with a set of three analyses on the 12th and 13th centuries when northern England had a greater rate of demographic and economic growth than the southern region.

16. US foreign policy, intersectional totality and the structure of empire.

Abstract

Debates about US empire have subsided somewhat in the aftermath of the George W Bush presidency but the issues underlying such debates have not gone away. In arguing that the history of the United States is an imperial one, this article proposes that US empire is the expression of an intersectional totality, one shaped by various vectors of power but reducible to none. To make this case, the article presents a sketch of US imperial history in order to show how this intersectional totality has evolved over time. Such an exercise can give useful context to the foreign policy initiatives of the Barack Obama administration, one that differs from that of its immediate predecessor but is not outside the structure of imperial history’s longer duration.
