English law has long served as a model for other Commonwealth jurisdictions with common law systems. Using a wealth of incisive articles, Michael Arnheim compares the system in England with comparable systems in other countries. Tackling issues of precedent, the definition of justice, and the limits of law, Arnheim illuminates the clash which occurs when an old system is forced to confront modern issues.
Michael Arnheim is Barrister at Law, Gray's Inn.
""Empires and Indigenes" offers a valuable perspective not only on the cross-cultural dimensions of early-modern warfare but also on the differing styles of imperial expansion. As such, this collection is a significant addition to the global history of the period."-Jeremy Black, author of "War: A Short History" "Empire and Indigenes needs to be read by historians, policy analysts, and military experts for important reassessments on intercultural warfare. With measured arguments, the authors challenge and qualify hallowed 'truths' of military and imperial history, such as the early modern military revolution or the easy defeats and subjugation of indigenous populations. This volume will surely mark a shift in how we understand warfare as a complex and contested form of intercultural engagement in empires." -Elizabeth Mancke, co-editor of "The Creation of the British Atlantic World"
