The Long Conquest
Ruling the Savage Periphery
Benjamin Hopkins develops a new theory of colonial administration: frontier governmentality. This system placed indigenous peoples at the borders of imperial territory, where they could be both exploited and kept away. Today's "failed states" are a result. Condemned to the periphery of the global order, they function as colonial design intended

The Frontier Crimes Regulation and Frontier Governmentality
From the invention of imperial authority along the North-West Frontier of British India, subjects were divided between the "civilized" inhabitants populating the cultivated plains and the "wild tribes" living in the hills. The problem of governing this latter group, the "independent tribes," proved a vexed one for the British Raj. The mechanism developed by imperial administrators to manage the frontier inhabitants was the Frontier Crimes Regulat…
Race, Sex and Slavery
The word 'slavery' conjures images of cruelty, racial bigotry and economic exploitation associated with the plantation complex crucial to the Atlantic trading economy from the seventeenth to the nineteenth centuries. Yet this was only one manifestation of practices of human bondage. This article examines the practice of 'slavery' in a very different context, looking at Central Asia, Afghanistan and the Punjab in the early nineteenth century. Here…
