It examines the historical development of colonial systems and shows their enormous role in shaping the modern world order. It is meant to be thematic and suggestive, offering arguments and information to serve as a starting point for discussion and exploration. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eDouglas Northrop is an associate professor in the departments of history and Near Eastern studies at the University of Michigan.
