The book explores the decentralized nature of Britain and its empire, emphasizing that the reduction of piracy during this period was not due to a strong central authority but rather a result of diverse activities across various colonial centers. It illustrates how different colonial arrangements contributed to managing and mitigating the piracy surge, highlighting the complexity of imperial governance and the interactions between local and imperial forces.
