Historians of empire have long been interested in how interpersonal relationships between coloniser and colonised did or did not conform to imperial ideologies. Yet, the relationships that developed between European and Indian officers in the East India Company’s armies remain underexplored. This is an important omission, because the armies employed thousands of people and represented a significant point of cross-cultural contact, while also bein…

Empire of Influence
Forum Global Dis
with the idea of dis:connectivity to provide fresh perspective on current phenomena of globalization.Tom Menger (Munich) traces the origins of Europe's current energy crisis back to a fossil fuel shift that occurred in the early 20th century.He shows that the decline of coal as the principal carrier of fossil energy had a direct impact on Europe's position in an increasingly global network of energy distribution, and this led to the emergence of …
Pernicious Publicity”
Early nineteenth-century Bengal is frequently used as a case study to demonstrate how debates over press liberties acquired additional stakes in colonial settings. Yet existing scholarship overlooks how the expansion of Britain's military presence overseas during and after the Napoleonic Wars complicated reformist ambitions for a free press. In India, army officers formed a significant proportion of the European population and were both enthusias…
Scandal and Secrecy in the History of the Nineteenth-Century British Empire
For historians of empire, scandals provide a useful starting point for investigating how the operations of imperial power were contested and reworked in moments of crisis. Yet, existing scholarship on imperial scandal consists mostly of case-studies that do not always reflect on the larger trend of which they are a part. This review draws on six accounts of imperial scandals to produce a general picture of the characteristics and functions of sca…
Weak Ties in a Tangled Web? Relationships between the Political Residents of the English East India Company and their munshis, 1798-1818
Although historians have long recognized the important role that Indians played in the English East India Company's operations, the focus has usually been on the mechanics of direct rule in 'British' India. Yet, the expertise of Indian cultural intermediaries was arguably even more important, as well as more contested, in the context of the Company's growing political influence over nominally independent Indian kingdoms. This article examines the…
L’histoire de la violence et l’Empire britannique en Inde
Bien que l’histoire impériale soit saturée de violence, celle-ci a rarement fait l’objet exclusif d’une analyse historique, jusque tout récemment. Quand Duncan Bell reprocha à John Darwin de ne pas assez s’intéresser à la violence de l’impérialisme dans un ouvrage très admiré, The Empire Project, Darwin eut une réaction révélatrice : « Dire que la violence a joué un rôle central dans l’histoire impériale britannique, ce n’est pas ajouter grand-ch…
The East India College Debate and the Fashioning of Imperial Officials, 1806–1858
Throughout its relatively brief existence, the English East India Company's college in Hertfordshire was hotly debated in Company headquarters, parliament, and the press. These disputes are deeply revealing of contemporary attitudes to the inter-related issues of elite education, government, ‘Britishness’, and empire. Previously, historians interested in the relationship between education and empire have concentrated largely on British attempts t…
