    But some of you might be thinking:

    • What's so special about Europe?

    • Why study European imperialism over say the glorious histories of the Chinese, African or Arabic worlds?


    ]]>     2024-06-28 10:34:55 UTC https://padlet.com/westernsydneyuniversity/xoph6aops01tstvl/wish/3040725591     mcufurovic https://padlet.com/westernsydneyuniversity/xoph6aops01tstvl/wish/3040726051 The simple answer is that, for better or worse (and there's lots of both), European imperialism shaped the modern world we live in today.


    They played a role in either inventing, adapting or globalizing the key features of the modern world including:


    • Capitalism

    • Printing, reading and education

    • The nation state

    • Liberalism

    • International Law

    • Globalisation

    • Racial theories (eep, bad stuff!)

    • Industrial production

    • Modern warfare (eep, more bad stuff!)

    The good of the modern world is inseparable from the historic and ongoing suffering of people displaced by colonialism.

    ]]>     2024-06-28 10:39:40 UTC https://padlet.com/westernsydneyuniversity/xoph6aops01tstvl/wish/3040728070     mcufurovic https://padlet.com/westernsydneyuniversity/xoph6aops01tstvl/wish/3040728593 Essentially every human being lives in an interconnected world system today - and that is due to the process of European colonialism that we will study in this unit. And most modern conflicts are connected to events triggered by European colonialism in this era.


    We want to tell stories about the colonised people, not just as victims, but as active participants in the shaping of the world order we live in today.
