The eminent historian Nicholas Tarling here discusses the very varied concepts and usages of the term "Imperialism". The course of imperialism in Asia is considered in separate chapters on India, China, Japan, Russia and Southeast Asia. Tarling concludes that 'Imperialism' is appropriately used as an explanatory tool for activity by the major powers only during the period 1870-1914.
