Securing Empire: Imperial Cooperation and Competition in the Nineteenth Century
Editat de Professor Beatrice de Graaf, Ozan Ozavci, Erik de Langeen Limba Engleză Paperback – 28 mai 2026
Taking a unique approach to imperial and international history, the essays in this volume show how security propelled imperial expansion, supported institutions of cooperation, maintained networks of imperial actors and shaped experiences of imperial rule. Contending that security should be studied as a force in its own right, one that drove processes of colonization, civilization and commerce, Securing Empire shows how cooperation between and across empires hinged on shared notions of threats and common ways of countering them.
In showing that security did not solely inform, support and complicate unilateral imperial endeavours, but also brought different imperial entities together and forged global modes of government, this book shows how integral security was to the 'global transformation' of the 19th century and the new world order that emerged.

Recenzii
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.
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.
