Zusammenfassung:Machine generated contents note: Introduction -- 1. The reform of empire in the late eighteenth century -- From foreign invasion to imperial disintegration -- 3. Decolonization's progeny : restoration, disaggregation, and recalibration -- 4. The last Atlantic revolution : emigrados, Miguelists, and the Portuguese Civil War -- 5. After Brazil, after civil war : the origins of Portugal's African empire -- Conclusion: The long shadow of empire in the Luso-Atlantic world.

Eventually, after a period of revival and prosperity, the Luso-Brazilian world also succumbed to revolution, which ultimately resulted in Brazil's independence from Portugal.

From constitutionalism to economic policy to the problem of slavery, Portuguese and Brazilian statesmen and political writers laboured under the long shadow of empire as they sought to begin anew and forge stable post-imperial orders on both sides of the Atlantic"--
