Chapter 1: Introduction -- Chapter 2: Views Linking Colonialism with Institutions -- Chapter 3: A Model of Two Styles of Imperialism -- Chapter 4: Empirical Methodology and Baseline Regression Results -- Chapter 5: Sensitivity to Alternative Theories -- Chapter 6: Further Sensitivity Analyses -- Chapter 7: Exploring the Mechanism of Colonial Rule -- Chapter 8: The Legacy of European Colonialism on Relevant Determinants of Institutional Development -- Chapter 9: Conclusions.

This book analyzes the role played by initial endowments and colonizer identity in seeking to explain institutional development in former colonies. It presents a model of two styles of imperialism that integrates the colonial origin and endowment views explaining current institutions. The authors argue that Great Britain and Portugal adopted an 'economically-oriented' style, which was pragmatic and sensitive to initial conditions. For this style of imperialism the endowment view is applicable. In contrast, France employed a 'politically-oriented' style of imperialism, in which ideological and political motivations were more present. This led to a uniform colonial policy that largely disregarded initial endowments. In turn, the case of Spain represents a hybrid of the two models. The empirical analysis presented here reveals a remarkable degree of heterogeneity in the relationship of endowments and colonizer identity with current institutions.
