Empire, racism, and UK foreign policy today
Sunday 26th September11:30am–1pm
Brighthelm Centre - Hannover Room
This interactive lecture will explore how today's UK foreign policy grew out of the structures and ideologies of the British empire. We'll examine the racism of the British ruling class, and how it has both justified and shaped imperial power relations. And we'll discuss the applicability of the concept of "imperialism" to British foreign policy today.
