  • "There are many definitions of "Imperialism" ranging over many centuries. Nicholas Tarling in the Introduction to his most recent book, Imperialism in Asia, considers a number of them. He suggests that the most common version, based on the writings of Hobson and Lenin may be too restricted when one looks carefully at Asia. In a number of essays, Tarling then looks at India, China, Russia, Japan, and Southeast Asia. He concludes that Imperialism, as a scholarly construct, was and is useful only for a brief period of time. Today the "vogue" word in international politics is indeed no longer "imperialism" but "globalisation" and Tarling suggests that there are lessons to be learnt, especially in understanding and tolerance towards others, from the lessons learnt from Imperialism. The essay is about "Imperialism" and the colonisation of Asia by Western powers.--Publ. descr."
