This book has invested in assimilating new perspectives on studying and understanding the workings of imperial statecrafts. These perspectives have shifted the focus from searching for proper definitions of empire to scrutinizing their actual workings. Viewed from this perspective, empires emerge as sets of controversial social practices that unfolded within specific spaces and times, rather than fixed ideological "projects" that were deemed to succeed.
