The book studies the Anglo-American debate in which British officials, led by Lord Hailey, countered American criticisms of imperial rule by emphasizing economic development and peace-keeping as new, non-racial justifications for western authority. These are themes that have retained a powerful resonance on the post-war world.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45282364227735,"sku":"9780312232146","price":7345.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780312232146.webp?v=1769301931","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/lord-hailey-the-colonial-office-and-the-politics-of-race-and-empire-in-the-seco-the-loss-of-white-prestige-9780312232146","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
