Title: Gentlemanly Imperialism and the British Empire after 1945
Abstract: Most of the attention on British Imperialism1 has justifiably focused on its treatment of the nineteenth century. Given the breadth and scope of the study, the authors had to condense the period of the postwar empire onto a few pages.2 As for the period after 1945 as a whole, the original two-volume edition has found some wider resonance among writers onto British political and current affairs,3 and has been acknowledged in a survey essay of the City of London.4 From among those isolated critical essays of the volumes extending into the post-1945 period, one has dealt with a region neglected in the study, namely Malaya,5 while another has approached the argument from the perspective of Britain’s economic performance.6 Both have therefore not engaged with the argument in its overall political dimension of linking society, politics and policy in the context of Britain’s overseas and imperial relations.
