Resensi Perbahasan Imperialisme British antara Tiga Zaman: Merkantilisme, Perdagangan Bebas dan Neomerkantilisme (A Review of the British Imperialism Discourse between Three Ages: Mercantilism, Free Trade and Neomercantilism)
Abstract
This article examines the scholarly discourse related to the development of British imperialism from the early days of the First Empire to the 20th century. Focus is given to the influence of mercantilism, free trade and neomercantilism on British colonization across continents. This article argues that economic factors influence the dynamism of British colonialism towards its colonies. The works of prominent scholars in the field of the history of imperialism have been studied to produce this review article. The review found that there is a change in the trend and paradigm of scholars in interpreting the development of British imperialism. These changes can be studied during the development of the first, second, and the colonial empires. Each level of development has a deficiency that encourages the development of the next level. The review result found that the scholarly debate related to the development of British imperialism is incoherent. Among the factors that affect the matter is due to the current of thought among scholars and also the availability of primary sources that become evidence in the discourse.
