American Empires: Past and Present*

Abstract: L'auteur établit une typologie des empires. Qu'ils soient «directs» ou «indirects», les empires possèdent nécessairement des colonies. Ce n'est pas le cas des empires «informels», mais ceux–ci peuvent être divisés en trois sous‐types: les empires «canonniers», «mandataires» et d' «ajustement structurel», à quoi s'ajoute «hégémoniques» comme type de domination non impérial, chaque type tendant à présenter une forme de règles plus douces que le précédent. Les vrais empires sont constitués de différents assortime… Show more

Not the least of these continuities is the entirely familiar response to instances in which American interests or troops are attacked or defeated.…”

Adams (1996) drew upon but also critically extended the principal‐agent theory to explain the decline of the Dutch mercantile empire.…”
