Overview

\"Local Militaries and Imperialism: At its root, imperialism, as an idea and a process, denotes a relationship of dominion. This incursion of one power into the sovereignty of another, however, can take many forms. In Charles Reynolds' telling, the interaction between an imperial power and weaker state can be explicit (political sovereignty asserted by force over subject peoples) or implicit (a system of control and restraint exercised over peoples and territories). If imperialism operates across a spectrum - with loose supervision of intermediaries at one end and tight top-down control at the other - then it stands to reason that the methods used to establish and maintain this subordination also vary. In short, great powers employ different repertoires for projecting power depending on the circumstances.\"-- Provided by publisher.
