Sweden's Integration into the Imperialist World System

Hodnotenie knihy

Viac o knihe

The book explores the role of Scandinavian countries in the context of European colonialism, highlighting their lack of military and administrative strength to establish independent colonies. Instead, they leveraged the opportunities created by larger colonial powers, participating in the imperialist system by providing capital, infrastructure, and transportation. It emphasizes that, despite their smaller stature, Scandinavia shared similar attitudes towards colonialism as the major powers, benefiting economically from the colonial enterprise without direct control over territories.
