Book excerpt: Here, Kees van der Pijl argues that, from the late European Middle Ages, Anglophone thinkers articulated an imperial world-view which was adopted by aspirant elites elsewhere.

After decolonisation the study of comparative politics continued to develop under those same auspices as part of a comprehensive framework.
