Conference -- Epilogue : Afterlives.
520 Rogue Empires takes a new look at the origins and
consequences of a key moment in European History: the
Berlin Conference of 1884-1885. Drawing on archival
research conducted in ten countries and three languages,
the book argues that the flood of rogue empires in Africa
came about due to a short-lived European obsession with
events happening far away, in Southeast Asia. European
investors there had recently promoted an idea of buying
empires through "private" purchases of sovereignty: full
control over a place's resources and people, with neither
monitoring by third parties, nor any accountability to a
nation, nor, in most cases, the awareness of affected
indigenous peoples. Once this idea made its way back
around the world to European capitals, it inspired a
number of important figures, notably German chancellor
Otto von Bismarck and British Prime Minister William
Gladstone, to support a string of copycat ventures in Sub-
Saharan Africa.--|cProvided by publisher.
