Emergency powers are of enormous importance in the twenty-first century. Empire of Emergency aims to explain a core aspect of their development by exploring the history of martial law in the British Empire. It aims to show how martial law proliferated in British colonies after 1760, becoming a ubiquitous tool, not only for quelling colonial rebellion, but for managing disorder in difficult hinterlands in colonies as disparate as Honduras and New South Wales. Using traditional research methods and new tools of digital analysis, this project expects to enhance our understanding of the complex relationships among violence, law, humanitarianism and liberalism that underpinned British imperial ideology at a crucial time in global history.

紧急权力在21世纪极为重要。《紧急状态的帝国》旨在通过探索大英帝国戒严法的历史来解释其发展的一个核心方面。它旨在展示1760年后戒严法如何在英国殖民地扩散，成为一种无处不在的工具，不仅用于平息殖民地叛乱，而且用于管理洪都拉斯和新南威尔士等殖民地困难地区的混乱。利用传统的研究方法和数字分析的新工具，该项目预计将提高我们对暴力，法律，人道主义和自由主义之间的复杂关系的理解，这些关系在全球历史的关键时刻支撑着大英帝国的意识形态。
