A concise and accessible history of decolonization in the twentieth
century The end of colonial rule in Asia, Africa, and the Caribbean
was one of the most important and dramatic developments of the
twentieth century. In the decades after World War II, dozens of new
states emerged as actors in global politics. Imperial regimes
collapsed, some more or less peacefully, others amid mass violence.
This book takes an incisive look at decolonization and its
long-term consequences, revealing it to be a coherent yet
multidimensional process at the heart of modern history. Jan Jansen
and Jurgen Osterhammel provide a comparative perspective on the
decolonization process, shedding light on its key aspects while
taking into account the unique regional and imperial contexts in
which it unfolded. They examine the economic repercussions of
decolonization and its impact on international power structures,
its consequences for envisioning world order, and the long shadow
it continues to cast over new states and former colonial powers
alike.
