The Legacy of White Empire and Geopolitical Shifts

This chapter examines the concept of 'white empire' and its relevance to the colonial histories of Western nations, particularly the U.S. and Britain. It discusses the post-World War II global power dynamics, the implications of the Jakarta Method, and the Cold War's complex legacy on contemporary geopolitics. Through this analysis, the chapter critiques the simplistic geographical categories often used to discuss global power and highlights the ongoing effects of imperial actions on national identities and international relations.
