The Neighbour from Hell: Two Centuries of Australian Imperialism

Imperialism has long been the subject of sharp debates. Now Tom OLincoln offers an original study of Australias ruthless participation in the imperialist system. Left analysts have often accused Australias rulers of being lapdogs for the great powers notably the US and the UK. OLincolns analysis of Australias boutique imperialism gives us a very different portrayal: of a ruling class out to extract maximum benefits for itself from calculated interventions into the conflicts wracking global capitalism.This new edition has been issued as part of the Tom OLincoln Legacy Project which aims to publish revised editions of all Tom OLincolns books with modern designs and available on print-on-demand.
