本文回顾了英法帝国的扩张和最终灭亡，从长远的角度看待全球化是欧洲近代帝国历史的一个组成部分。作者的论点是，这些帝国不仅仅是一个全球现象。相反，建立和摧毁它们的过程更积极地“全球化”。在这种背景下，他们认为，这两个卓越的海外帝国的兴衰产生了几种全球化效应。这些全球化效应包括移民和通信的独特模式，货物和资本流动的关键转变，跨国联系的新形式，社区和个人权利的概念化变化，以及持续时间超过帝国“正式”结束的离散形式的暴力和冲突。
Reviewing the expansion and ultimate demise of the British and French empires, this article takes a long view of globalisation as an integral part of Europe's recent imperial past. The authors’ argument is that these empires were not simply a global phenomenon. Rather, the processes that built and destroyed them were more actively ‘globalising’. In this context, they argue that the rise and fall of the two pre-eminent overseas empires had several globalising effects. These globalising effects include distinct patterns of migration and communication, critical shifts in the movement of goods and capital, new forms of transnational connection, changing conceptualisations of community and individual rights, and discrete forms of violence and conflict that outlasted the ‘formal’ end of empires.
