  • the imperial constitution of the law officers of the crown legal thought on war and Colonial Government 1719 1774
    2018
    Co-Authors: Edward Cavanagh
    Abstract:

    The rule of conquest came to receive different applications for different parts of the British Empire. How this happened, and who was responsible for it happening, are the interests of this article. Calling upon court reports, parliamentary records, and correspondence between various officeholders in the early Hanoverian Government, attention will be drawn in particular to the attorney general and the solicitor general (the law officers of the crown) and the advice they offered upon the governance of colonies between 1719 and 1774. Focusing upon the conventions that pertain to war and conquest in Ireland, the Caribbean, India, and North America, this article reveals inconsistency in doctrine, but consistency in the procedures by which law officers of the crown acquired influence over proceedings in the houses of parliament and in the courts of common law and equity. Just as often in their formal capacities as in their informal capacities, the attorney general and the solicitor general were pivotal to the development of the imperial constitution, in constant response, as they were, to the peculiar demands of various colonies and plantations in the British Empire.

  • malaya 1948 britain s asian cold war
    2007
    Co-Authors: Phillip Deery
    Abstract:

    Between 8:30 and 9:00 a.m. on 16 June 1948, three Europeans were shot dead in the Sungei Siput area of Perak in northern Malaya. The three were estate managers of rubber plantations, and the perpetrators were guerrillas in the “mobile corps” of the Malayan Communist Party (MCP). The shootings were the culmination of a long series of attacks and “outrages” against estate managers in Penang, Selangor, and the southern state of Johore. Late that afternoon, the Colonial Government declared a state of emergency in Perak and Johore that was extended, two days later, to the whole ofMalaya. An immediate casualty was respect for civil liberties. Under emergency regulations the authorities enacted a range of draconian measures, including a ban on “seditious” publications; the introduction of coercive powers of detention, arrest, trial, deportation, and “banishment”; the establishment of the death penalty for anyone carrying unauthorized arearms; and the registration of the entire adult population.

  • a discourse on dutch Colonial forest policy and science in indonesia at the beginning of the 20th century
    2009
    Co-Authors: G Galudra, M Sirait
    Abstract:

    SUMMARY Dutch foresters asserted that upland forest cover was essential to maintain balanced hydrological cycles. They sustained this argument despite contrary empirical evidence and resistance from the Colonial administration who were concerned more on local livelihoods. Underpinning this belief was a conviction that customary systems of land tenure and use were inappropriate and destructive. The Dutch foresters used scientific discourse to justify the State's control of 120 million hectares of land as forest reserves, instigating a pattern of land control that has endured to this day. The ongoing application of past designations is the driver of this paper to explore the arguments behind the decisions of Dutch Colonial Government and its implications to current policy framework. The objective of the paper is to show that science became an instrument of the Forest Service during the Dutch Colonial era, as a means of exerting greater power and control over the forested land.

  • the great prohibition the expansion of christianity in Colonial northern nigeria
    2010
    Co-Authors: Andrew E Barnes
    Abstract:

    Historical research on the spread of Christianity in Colonial Northern Nigeria has been hampered by a focus on the wrong issues. The population of the colony was predominantly Muslim, but the Colonial territory created by the British contained large populations of African traditionalist peoples. During the Colonial era the British Government prohibited Christian proselytization of Muslims. Historical research had focused on the battle between Colonial administrators and missionaries over entry into Muslim areas, a battle missionaries lost. But during the Colonial era Christian missions experienced real success in Christianizing traditionalist peoples. The Colonial Government also sought to impede this development, significantly by using the same rules that prohibited the proselytization of Muslims to prohibit the proselytization of traditionalists. This article makes the case that the Government’s efforts to halt the spread of Christianity to traditionalists, not Muslims, should become the focus of new research.

  • religious insults christian critiques of islam and the Government in Colonial northern nigeria
    2004
    Co-Authors: Andrew E Barnes
    Abstract:

    This article discusses two Christian critiques of Islam published during the Colonial era, and the response by the Colonial Government to each. The first goal of the article is to characterize Christian criticisms of Islam during the Colonial era. The second is to demonstrate how conflict over Islam could shape relations between British administrators and Christian missionaries. The third goal is to narrate the history of a religious controversy as it developed over two generations. As will be seen, the war of words over Government religious policy toward Islam could become quite vicious, even without any active participation by Muslims.
