Colonial Internationalism and the Governmentality of Empire, 1893-1982

Set in 1893, the narrative explores the formation of the International Colonial Institute by officials from thirteen nations, who sought to unify colonial policies amidst imperial competition. Florian Wagner examines how these colonial internationalists transformed colonialism into a transimperial governance strategy, enabling empires to endure and adapt well into the twentieth century, reshaping the dynamics of power and control in the colonial landscape.
