About Book

"Helpless Imperialists: Imperial Failure, Fear and Radicalization" explores the connections between imperial decline, the fear of losing power, and the rise of radicalization. The book argues that the failure of imperial powers often leads to political instability, heightened fears of losing influence, and the emergence of radical ideologies. It examines how these factors contribute to both the internal radicalization of imperial states and the radical movements in regions once under colonial rule. The text addresses the psychological and socio-political consequences of imperial failure, analyzing how these dynamics have shaped contemporary global conflicts, terrorism, and the rise of nationalist and ideological movements in post-colonial societies.
