Essay from Mapping China's Strategic Space
The Political Culture of Imperialism in the German Kaiserreich
In this essay from NBR’s project Mapping China’s Strategic Space, Woodruff D. Smith focuses on four particularly important aspects of German imperialist culture.
The essay is part of a section on Learning from History that presents a collection of historical case studies, used for comparative purposes, that examine how rising or great powers, including China, have in the past defined their strategic space and the factors that led them to consider expanding it beyond the strict delineations of their national territory.
