520 |a This study of British maritime and imperial expansion in the Indian and Pacific Oceans in the second half of the 18th century offers new perspectives on Pacific colonization, imperial planning, and the establishment of modem Australia. Discussed is the political origin of this colonization effort, begun when British politicians saw the opportunity to create a trans-Pacific trading empire and struggled to create the infrastructure necessary to support far-flung maritime activity. Historical research delves in-depth into the policy and implementation of colonization and the evolution of the contemporary idea that Pacific Rim countries will be an important economic area in the 21st century 
520 1 |a "The Global Reach of Empire is a study of British maritime and imperial expansion in the Indian and Pacific oceans in this period. It encompasses seaborne discovery, strategy in wartime, and the creation of infrastructure necessary to support far-flung maritime activity, colonization and trade." "This was the first time in history that there was sufficient knowledge of the world available for people to conceive of it as a whole - and a group of British politicians did so with the purpose of creating a trans-Pacific trading empire that would link Europe, Asia and the Americas." 
520 8 |a "Alan Frost places the colonization of Australia in a broad context and shows its relationship to other imperial strategies of the period. Based on twenty-five years research in archives around the world, The Global Reach of Empire offers new perspectives on Pacific exploration, war, imperial planning and the beginnings of modern Australia. It also examines the reasons behind the colonization of Australia, and shows the historical origins of the contemporary idea that the Pacific Rim countries will become the twenty-first century's most important economic area."--Jacket
