United Kingdoms: Multinational Union States in Europe and Beyond, 1800-1925 Jackson Alvin
The United Kingdom is weakening, and this book helps to explain why. The UK was not in fact the only self-styled 'united kingdom' of the time: Jackson argues strikingly and originally that Britain exported the idea of union through the advocacy or encouragement of other multinational united kingdoms at the beginning of the nineteenth century.The work is distinctive in its geographical breadth. Alvin Jackson examines the UK in the light of the experience of similar union states elsewhere, offering the first sustained comparative study across the long nineteenth century and beyond.
United Kingdoms looks too at the institutions and agencies Jackson draws together the histories of Ireland, Scotland, Wales, and England and explores the links between them and Sweden-Norway, the United Netherlands, Austria-Hungary and the United Canadas - and many other polities across the globe.
