Description

Product Description In 1893, a group of colonial officials from thirteen countries abandoned their imperial rivalry and established the International Colonial Institute (ICI), which became the world's most important colonial think tank of the twentieth century. Through the lens of the ICI, Florian Wagner argues that this international cooperation reshaped colonialism as a transimperial and governmental policy. The book demonstrates that the ICI's strategy of using indigenous institutions and customary laws to encourage colonial development served to maintain colonial rule even beyond the official end of empires. By selectively choosing loyalists among the colonized to participate in the ICI, it increased their autonomy while equally delegitimizing more radical claims for independence. The book presents a detailed study of the ICI's creation, the transcolonial activities of its prominent members, its interactions with the League of Nations and fascist governments, and its role in laying the groundwork for the structural and discursive dependence of the Global South after 1945. Review 'Through the life of the International Colonial Institute, Wagner offers a stunning account of the ways internationalism served the goals of empire. Ranging from health and rural development to the codification of customary and Islamic law, he vividly shows how knowledgeable but manipulative transnational networks of experts agreed on one fundamental course of action: undermining self-determination to legitimize the persistence of (neo)colonial structures.' Sara Lorenzini, University of Trento Book Description Explores how the International Colonial Institute, a pervasive colonial think tank established in 1893, reformed colonialism to make empires last. About the Author Florian Wagner is Assistant Professor of History at the University of Erfurt.
