This analysis of the ideas and policy choices of British decolonization shows how the political tradition of experience over abstract theory meant that the Empire was regarded as being painlessly transformed rather than lost. It discusses decolonization in its wider 20th-century context.

It shows how the British, perhaps more correctly the English, political tradition, with its emphasis on experience over abstract theory, was integral to the way in which the empire was regarded as being transformed rather than lost.
