The Ends of Empire

The book presents a comprehensive examination of the overseas territories of various nations, highlighting their unique statuses and the complexities they face, including international disputes, financial issues, and cultural clashes. Covering regions from Greenland to Gibraltar and beyond, it argues that a negotiated dependency may offer these territories more advantages than pursuing independence. The authors explore the interplay of constitutional, economic, and demographic factors that shape the lives of these territories and their relationship with their governing countries.
