Abstract
- This article provides an overview of the complex relationship between liberalism and empire, focusing on the 19th century British Empire. It explores the tension between liberals' belief in universal values and their desire to export those values through empire, while also advocating for peace. The article references various perspectives and authors, including Ronald Robinson, John Gallagher, Uday Singh Mehta, and Duncan Bell, who offer critiques and analyses of liberalism and empire. It also acknowledges ongoing debates surrounding Britain's imperial legacy and the connections of prominent liberals to slavery. The article concludes by encouraging further exploration of this vast topic. The accompanying list of references and resources offers a starting point for further research on the subject.
