Ruling the Savage Periphery: Frontier Governance and the Making of the Modern State
Benjamin D. Hopkins
Benjamin Hopkins develops a new theory of colonial administration: frontier governmentality. This system placed indigenous peoples at the borders of imperial territory, where they could be both exploited and kept away. Today’s “failed states” are a result. Condemned to the periphery of the global order, they function as colonial design intended.
