Pandemic Protectionism
The pandemic protectionist politics of 2020 have exposed the globalist sages of the 1990s as false prophets. Today’s pandemic protectionism suggests that the pugnacity of nationalism over the last few decades has culminated in its triumph, solidifying the ideology’s position as the most powerful and persistent of the modern world.The pandemic has not only vividly highlighted the widespread nationalistic embrace of protectionism, it has also exace…
The Anglo-American Armenian Question
The “Armenian question” became a cause célèbre in the United States and Britain following the Ottoman-sanctioned massacre of more than 100,000 Christian Armenians between 1894 and 1896 in an attempt to curb Armenian nationalism. Further massacres occurred in the Near Eastern Ottoman-controlled region in 1904 and from 1915–23 with a death toll of over a million, making sure that the Armenian question remained a prominent humanitarian one within An…
Marx and Manchester
Socialism is commonly assumed to be antithetical to free trade. This article challenges this misconception by exploring the widespread socialist internationalist support for free trade across the century before the Cold War. The socialist internationalist free-trade tradition evolved alongside and drew inspiration from the Manchester School of economic liberalism. As with any intellectual tradition, socialist internationalist support for free tra…

Empire by Imitation? US Economic Imperialism within a British World System
Most comparative studies of the British and American empires focus on the pre-1945 British Empire and the post-1945 American Empire. The tendency to avoid contemporaneous studies of the two empires suggests that there may be more differences than similarities between them, particularly when examining their imperial trade policies from the mid-nineteenth to mid-twentieth century. For those studies attempting such comparisons, the so-called Open Do…
Free trade and its enemies in France, 1814–1851
In the 2017 French presidential elections, the leader of the country’s far-right party, Marine Le Pen, made a strong bid for the presidency by taking an extreme economic nationalist stance that mal
The Guardians
‘Bureaucracy’ is usually not the first word that springs to mind when thinking about imperial history. Or at least that was the case until reading the present book. The author, Susan Pedersen examines the ‘quixotic and near forgotten effort to subject imperial rule to international control’ through the League of Nations Permanent Mandates Commission (PMC) (p. 4). It is a remarkable story of how predominantly European bureaucrats within the PMC ov…

The “Conspiracy” of Free Trade
Following the Second World War, the United States would become the leading 'neoliberal' proponent of international trade liberalization. Yet for nearly a century before, American foreign trade policy was dominated by extreme economic nationalism. What brought about this pronounced ideological, political, and economic about face? How did it affect Anglo-American imperialism? What were the repercussions for the global capitalist order? In answering…

A Union Forever
Covering the period from 1840 to 1890, David Sim’s book provides an important contribution to the literature on nineteenth-century US foreign relations. Few studies have attempted a synthesis of the Irish question which bridges the ante- and postbellum eras within the broader story of Anglo-American relations, and fewer still have attempted to come to grips with the ambiguity of Ireland’s position within American politics and foreign relations. A…
Adam Smith as Advocate of Empire, C. 1870–1932
This article examines how The wealth of nations (1776) was transformed into an amorphous text regarding the imperial question throughout the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. Adam Smith had left behind an ambiguous legacy on the subject of empire: a legacy that left long-term effects upon subsequent British imperial debates. In his chapter on colonies, Smith had proposed both a scheme for the gradual devolution of the British empire an…

Protection, Federation and Union
This article takes a global historical approach to American protectionism and the British imperial federation movement of the late nineteenth century, showing how US tariff policy was intimately intertwined with the political and economic policies of the British empire of free trade. This article argues that the 1890 McKinley Tariff's policies helped call into question Britain's liberal, free trade, global empire by drumming up support for an imp…
