Das Zeitalter des Hochimperialismus (1850-1950) wurde bisher als Zeitraum unangefochtener ökonomischer, technologischer und militärischer Überlegenheit der europäischen Kolonialmächte gesehen. »Helpless Imperialists« beleuchtet den bisher in der Forschung kaum beachteten Aspekt imperialer Frustration und geht dem Zusammenhang zwischen dem Scheitern imperialer Projekte, imperialer Verunsicherung und dem Verlust imperialer Routine und Gewalt nach. Die englischsprachigen Beiträge des Bandes untersuchen das Phänomen des Scheiterns u. a. in den deutschen Kolonialgebieten, Osteuropa und dem Nahen Osten. Es war ebenso Teil des späten Osmanischen Reiches wie der vergeblichen kolonialen Reformen Großbritanniens und Frankreichs in Südostasien nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg.
»Helpless Imperialists« enquires into the relation between imperial exposure, fear, radicalization and violence and highlights moments of peripety bringing imperialist grandeur to collapse.

The file format PDF always displays a book page identically on any hardware. This makes PDF suitable for complex layouts such as those used in textbooks and reference books (images, tables, columns, footnotes). Unfortunately, on the small screens of e-readers or smartphones, PDFs are rather annoying, requiring too much scrolling.
