Book Synopsis


Trade Review
"Phillips and Sharman’s achievement is to pull together myriad literatures over three centuries and most of the globe, to find patterns only a synthetic treatment can reveal. . . . Lucid, sweeping, and economical"---David Armitage, Times Literary Supplement
"

Outsourcing Empire serves as an up-to-date survey of an essential
topic for world historians.

" * Journal of Interdisciplinary History *
"

A welcome addition to a fast-growing literature on the corporate origins of European
empire in the early modern world. . . . Outsourcing Empire is a highly accessible work of scholarship that will appeal particularly to students of international history.

"---David Veevers, Journal of British Studies
"Outsourcing Empire provides a solid contribution to the typically Eurocentric-focused scholarship of international politics."---Daniel Blumlo, World History Connected
