Akita Shigeru. Gentlemanly Capitalism, Imperialism and Global History. Palgrave Macmillan Ltd.,2002. — 279 p.. 2002

The main aim of this book is to update the debate on British imperialism by relating it to new developments in the history of globalization, as well as by looking at Western historiography from a comparative, Eastern perspective. The focus of this study is therefore less on British imperial history per se than on that segment of global history that was powerfully driven by British imperialism. We hope to bring together two separate branches of historiography: imperial history, with its predominantly Eurocentric or broadly Western orientation, and East Asian studies, which are typically confined by the needs of regional specialization and are rarely connected to broader, global issues.
