Reviews

""We can now confidently identify a 'Dutch' school of international history, rich in thematic and geopolitical breadth, injecting new ideas and new perspectives into older topics. 'Securing Empire' is no exception. Working with their concept of a 'trans-imperial security culture', this Utrecht-based collaboration rewrites the long 19th century history of security, and our understanding of its importance for empires across Europe, the Americas, Africa, the Middle East and East Asia. It will be of immense value to IR and historical scholars alike, exemplary of how the historical turn in international politics is challenging our understanding of politics today."" --Glenda Sluga, Professor of International History, European University Institute, Italy ""Securing Empire takes the reader through a comprehensive global tour of nineteenth century empires, with a focus security in liminal zones. By doing so it also historicizes our understanding of security, conflict and cooperation. With a stellar cast of contributors, each chapter is full of insights that will be of great use to both historians and International Relations scholars. This volume is a major intervention in the growing scholarship on empires of the nineteenth century. I strongly recommend it."" --Ayse Zarakol, Professor of International Relations, FBA, University of Cambridge, UK
