Echoes of empire: memory, identity and colonial legacies

foundations of the existing international system should have been included in the overall analysis to offer a comprehensive account on the future of world politics. Overall, despite certain limitations, combining theory with practice and reflecting both western and eastern perspectives to world politics since 1945, the book proves to be more than just another textbook of International Relations. Besides, in comparison to previous editions, the seventh edition includes some of the last decade’s developments such as the Arab Spring to make the book up-to-date and even more comprehensive. It also introduces “the literature” section that puts forward a recommended reading list for each chapter. Yet, except for Chapters 2 and 6, the book may be criticized for lacking in-depth analysis. Nevertheless, it is recommendable to beginner students of International Relations, International Development and International History, as well as academics looking for a concise reference book on the Cold War and beyond.
