| Summary |
"Imperial Federation: The Problem of National Unity" by George R. Parkin is a political treatise written in the late 19th century. This work examines the concept of national unity within the context of the British Empire, advocating for closer political ties among its diverse communities. The author argues that such unity is essential for the empire's strength and future stability. The opening of the text sets the stage for a comprehensive exploration of the challenges and necessities surrounding the idea of imperial federation. Parkin emphasizes the importance of recognizing a complex web of interests that bind the various parts of the British Empire together, asserting that a collective approach to governance and strategy is beneficial for all involved. He presents the historical backdrop of British expansion and the necessity for adaptive political structures that can sustain unity amid distinct local identities and governance styles.
