CAMBRIDGE IMPERIAL AND POST-COLONIAL STUDIES ...

This pioneering volume focuses on the scale  territorial trajectories  impact  economic
relationships  identity and nature of the Scottish-Asia connection from the late seventeenth
century to the present. It is especially concerned with identifying whether there was a
distinctive Scottish experience and if so  what effect it had on the East. Did Scots bring
different skills to Asia and how far did their backgrounds prepare them in different ways? Were
their networks distinctive compared to other ethnicities? What was the pull of Asia for them?
Did they really punch above their weight as some contemporaries thought  or was that just
exaggerated rhetoric? If there was a distinctive 'Scottish effect' how is that to be explained?
