The essays gathered together in this book explore the roles of the men and women who served the British Empire in Australasia and India, and those who were subject to their administration. As these essays demonstrate, administrative arrangements involve complex cross-cultural relationships in colonial spaces, often through radically unequal and racially based power relations. Colonial administration involves diverse domains of practice – the Civil Service, schools and universities, missions, domestic realms, justice systems – and many forms of activities, including managing and organising; financing and accounting; monitoring and measuring; ordering and supplying; writing and implementing policies. In the two parts of this book, the authors – from India, Australia, New Zealand, and Britain – examine the ways colonial administrations accumulated and managed information and knowledge about the places and peoples under their jurisdiction. The administration of colonial spaces was neither a simple nor a unilinear project, and the essays in this book will contribute to key debates about imperial history.

During his last voyage back to England, the ship of Sir Thomas Stamford Raffles (1781-1826) caught fire, consuming many of the papers from which future biographers might have worked. When he died two years later, the task of sifting through the surviving materials and recording his life and career fell to his widow Sophia (1786-1858). Her substantial biography, first published in 1830, remains an essential source of information about one of the key figures of British colonialism in the East Indies. At the centre of the book, interspersed with many of her husband's letters, is Raffles' struggle against his Dutch opponents, with whom he clashed on ideological grounds - he noted with distaste their mistreatment of the local population and their advocacy of slavery. It was this rivalry which convinced Raffles to found Singapore as a trading post. His two-volume History of Java (1817) is also reissued in this series.

La phase des indépendances latino-américaines des années 1810-1825 fait penser à tort que l'Espagne était une puissance coloniale définitivement déchue. En effet, un empire ultramarin persiste, fort de près de 10 millions d'habitants à la fin du siècle et vivant sur un territoire (Cuba, Porto Rico, les Philippines et la Guinée équatoriale) égal en superficie à celui de la métropole. Il connaîtra une mutation vers un modèle colonial de plus en plus proche des nouveaux empires européens du xixe siècle. Centré sur ce processus, ce livre, montre quelles ressources humaines et financières ont été mobilisées par l'État espagnol pour le contrôle de ces territoires et comment ces ressources étaient un excellent dérivatif pour limiter le mécontentement social des classes moyennes qui ne parvenaient pas à trouver dans la péninsule les débouchés professionnels espérés.
