Economic Liberalism and Rights in the Nineteenth Century
Advocates of institutional economics in history have pointed to the adoption of systems of rights inspired by economic liberalism as a major factor behind inequalities of development. This chapter assesses the claim’s validity in the nineteenth century, when legal reforms grounded in liberal economic theory – most importantly the securing of exclusive private property rights – swept first Europe and its colonial offshoots and then the rest of the…
The Cambridge History of Rights
The age of Enlightenment and revolutions produced some of our best-known declarations of rights, but they did not create the idea of rights. Writers during this age did such a good job at declaring rights that many historians and politicians later believed that they invented them. The fourth volume of The Cambridge History of Rights shows that the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries are better understood as a time of transformation, extending rig…
L'empire bon marché, une excellente affaire
Dans son ouvrage Un empire bon marché, Denis Cogneau clôt un vieux débat en montrant que les coûts de l'empire colonial français ont été dérisoires pour la métropole. Les efforts en matière de développement des territoires colonisés furent même un peu plus faibles que ceux consentis par les autres puissances coloniales. Si l'on prend en considération les avantages politiques et militaires liés à la possession de ses colonies, l'empire colonial a …
A Velvet Empire: French Informal Imperialism in the Nineteenth Century
A Velvet Empire: French Informal Imperialism in the Nineteenth Century
After Napoleon's downfall in 1815, France embraced a mostly informal style of empire, one that emphasized economic and cultural influence rather than military conquest. This book is a global history of French imperialism in the nineteenth century, providing new insights into the mechanisms of imperial collaboration that extended France's power from the Middle East to Latin America and ushered in the modern age of globalization. The book shows how…
Velvet Empire: French Informal Imperialism in the Nineteenth Century
Un passager clandestin: La Colonisation Informelle Dans l'Historiographie Des Empires Français
Alors que le concept d'empire informel est bien connu des spécialistes anglophones des études impériales, les historiens de l'impérialisme français y ont peu prêté attention. Tout en examinant les causes de ce désintérêt relatif, cet article souligne les avantages potentiels d'une meilleure prise en compte de cette dimension informelle. Réévaluer l'importance de la colonisation informelle pourrait, entre autres, faciliter l'analyse des dynamiques…
Beneath Sovereignty: Extraterritoriality and Imperial Internationalism in Nineteenth-Century Egypt
The rise of extraterritoriality in the nineteenth-century has been described as a transitional phase that laid the ground for the construction of territorial sovereignty. Yet in Egypt, where a particularly extensive extraterritorial regime emerged in the mid-century, the expansion of European jurisdiction underneath national sovereignty became entrenched with the creation of international mixed courts in the 1870s. This outcome, the article argue…
Free Trade and its Enemies in France, 1814–1851
In the aftermath of the French Revolution, advocates of protection against foreign competition prevailed in a fierce controversy over international trade. This groundbreaking study is the first to examine this 'protectionist turn' in full. Faced with a reaffirmation of mercantile jealousy under the Bourbon Restoration, Benjamin Constant, Jean-Baptiste Say and regional publicists advocated the adoption of the liberty of commerce in order to consol…
Free Trade and Its Enemies in France, 1814-1851
Transnational Projects of Empire in France, C .1815– C .1870
Rather than renouncing empire after the fall of Napoleon, this essay argues, French liberal thinkers expressed a sustained preference for a strategy based on transnational connections, or what imperial historians describe as informal imperialism. The eulogy of European Christian civilization exemplified by François Guizot's lecture at the Sorbonne in 1828 served not only to legitimize French global ambitions, but also to facilitate cooperation wi…

A French Imperial Meridian, 1814-1870
The period stretching from the restoration of Louis XVIII in 1814 until the fall of Napoleon III in 1870 remains the terra incognita of the history of French global ambitions. Even the volume of L’Aventure coloniale de la France, covering the years 1789–1870, stresses that the French ‘cautiously withdrew into themselves’ after the collapse of the first Napoleonic Empire.1 Such a view, this article argues, relies on an extraordinary neglect for th…

John Bowring and the Global Dissemination of Free Trade
The international diffusion of ideas has often been described as an abstract process. John Bowring's career offers a different insight into the practical conditions that permitted a concept, free trade, to spread across national borders. An early advocate of trade liberalization in Britain, Bowring promoted free trade policies in France, Italy, Germany, Egypt, Siam, and China between 1830 and 1860. He employed different strategies according to lo…

An Inquiry into Thomas Reid
This book is the second volume of a critical edition of the writings of Thomas Reid, an edition that will include many of his manuscript remains as well as his previously published works. These volumes are intended to displace the heretofore standard 8th edition of Reid's works edited by Sir William Hamilton (1788-1856). Hamilton's edition is marred by his numerous, often intrusive, and obtuse footnotes. Reid's spelling and punctuation were also …

Plantinga and the Naturalized Epistemology of Thomas Reid
These two books are Volumes 1 and 2 of a three-volume work; the projected third volume, Warranted Christian Belief, has yet to be published. In the first volume, Warrant: The Current Debate, Plantinga surveys the current chaos in epistemology stemming from the breakdown of classical foundationalism and examines critically the efforts of several contemporary philosophers to introduce some order into the field, most particularly Roderick Chisholm, …
The Fine Awareness of Martha Nussbaum
For some years now Martha Nussbaum's reputation as a brilliant literary critic, literary scholar and philosopher has grown with each new publication until today the fact is readily acknowledged even by her most vigorous opponents. Her splendid book, The Fragility of Goodness: Luck and Ethics in Greek Tragedy and Philosophy put her in the first rank of both Greek scholarship and contemporary ethical thought. It has already achieved the rare statur…

Lehrer Reading Reid
Lehrer's “reason for writing this book is that the philosophy of Thomas Reid is widely unread, while the combination of soundness and creativity of his work is unexcelled.” The book contributes to the ongoing Reid revival. Chapter 1 presents an overview of Reid's life and works and the last, Chapter 15, gives Lehrer's appraisal of Reid's philosophy. Chapter 2, “Beyond Impressions and Ideas,” outlines Reid's “refutation of what he called the Ideal…
Strategies of growth, diversification and rationalization in the evolution of concentration in British shipbuilding

Adopting a historical approach, this study monitors the corporate strategies applied by shipbuilders to deal with issues of growth, diversification and …
The Small-Town Viability Question in a Prairie Context
The phenomenon of population reversal away from major urban centres to small towns is considered in a Canadian context. Specifically, the paper examines towns from the Manitoba portion of the prairies which have benefited from modest population gain in the period 1966-1976. It relates that population change to a number of factors presumed to be influential in this essentially rural nonmetropolitan milieu. These embrace objective quality-of-life i…

Ethnicity and the Rural Economy: Illustrations From Southern Manitoba, 1961–1971
V ariation in behaviour stemming from cultural differences has long been recognized as a possible key influence on attitudes towards economic development. The seminal work of Max Weber (1958) relating economic performance to religious allegiances is an obvious example. However, variations in the attitudes of economic actors may also derive from differences in endowments stemming from ethnic heritage. In Canada, for instance, the role of the Briti…

Todd D. (1981) Regional variations in naval construction: the British experience, 1895–1966, Reg. Studies 15, 123–142. Spending for defence material has important consequences for regions. This study analyses one aspect of defence contracts, namely those placed for British Navy warships over the period 1895–1966, and considers the regional distribution of naval output. Generally, three kinds of shipbuilding regions are identified: those centred o…
An Appraisal of the Development Pole Concept in Regional Analysis
A considerable amount of recent literature on development pole concepts contains criticism that there is no adequate unifying 'theory' to underpin the concepts. This paper attempts to trace the conceptual evolution of development pole theory in order to isolate some of the causes of theoretical confusion. It concludes with a plea for integration of both the sectoral and spatial aspects of polarization

On urban spill-overs and rural transformation: A Canadian example
Todd D. (1979) On urban spill-overs and rural transformation: a Canadian example, Reg. Studies 13, 305–321. Urban spill-overs are key agents in transmitting development impulses from urban centres into rural hinterlands. As such, they are a crucial component of growth centre methodology in regional planning. However, confusion continues to cloud their composition, magnitude and spatial diffusiveness and, as a result, detracts from the usefulness …
Regional and Structural Factors in Farm-Size Variation: A Manitoba Elucidation
The geography of farm-size variation has tended to overlook the relationships between physical size and agricultural productivity. This paper remedies that deficiency by explicitly considering the mechanisms promoting viability across the spectrum of farm-size gradation. Aspects of internal and external economies of scale, interfarm competition, local comparative advantage, and spatial separation are incorporated in a conceptual framework develop…
Farm Size and Regional Structure: A Preliminary Insight
This paper is concerned with differentiating the effects of regional structure on farm size and function within southern Manitoba. Farm size is presumed to represent the equilibrium outcome of internal and external forces that influence the agricultural system. Internal forces include various physical and cultural factors as well as local marketing patterns; external forces may operate through the aegis of interregional comparative advantage. A c…

Locke, Berkeley, Hume: Central Themes
This book will be received ill-naturedly by those who think that a book with such a title ought, mainly anyway, to consist of critical exegesis of the work of its philosophical heroes and/or villains on the “central themes” which Professor Bennett selects for his attention. Such readers are likely to feel that when Bennett attributes this or that view, error, or insight to one of the protagonists, he ought usually t o put the man's name in quotat…
