It contextualises this diplomatic mission in the wider remit of Anglo-Afghan relations and diplomacy from the nineteenth to the twenty-first century, examining the networks of family and profession that established the institution?s colonial foundations and its connections across South Asia and the Indian Ocean. The study presents the British Legation as a late imperial institution, which materialised colonialism's governmental practices in the age of independence. Ultimately, it demonstrates the continuation of asymmetries forged in the Anglo-Afghan encounter and shows how these were transformed into instances of diplomatic inequality in the realm of international relations. Approaching diplomacy through the themes of performance, the body and architecture, and in the context of knowledge transfers, this work offers new perspectives on international relations through a cultural history of diplomacy. 410 0$aCambridge Imperial and Post-Colonial Studies,$x2635-1633 606 $aImperialism 606 $aCivilization?History 606 $aMiddle East?History 606 $aWorld politics 606 $aImperialism and Colonialism$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/722000 606 $aCultural History$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/723000 606 $aHistory of the Middle East$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/715060 606 $aPolitical History$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911080 615 0$aImperialism. 615 0$aCivilization?History. 615 0$aMiddle East?History. 615 0$aWorld politics. 615 14$aImperialism and Colonialism. 615 24$aCultural History. 615 24$aHistory of the Middle East. 615 24$aPolitical History. 676 $a325.3 676 $a327.581041 700 $aDrephal$b Maximilian$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01228371 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910484844203321 996 $aAfghanistan and the Coloniality of Diplomacy$92851733 997 $aUNINA
