This book offers an analysis of the decolonisation process across
three different regions around the world: Central America,
Southeast Asia and the Caucasus. It explores how the nature of
previous imperial systems shaped the nation states that were
created in their stead. By outlining these contrasting historical
trajectories, this short study argues that the stability of these
nation states and their ability to cooperate with one another are
dependent on the acceptance of the frontiers established by the
previous imperial powers. It moves from Central America, left in
the early nineteenth century without any clear borders and which
has suffered much inter-state tension ever since, to Southeast
Asia, whose clear colonial delineations have been accepted in the
post-colonial order, and finally to the Caucasus where the
arbitrary boundaries of the Soviet Republics have not easily
translated into nation states. Offering a concise comparison of
decolonisation in three regions, this book will be of particular
interest to students of history, politics and international
relations.
