Description
Crises of Empire offers a comprehensive analysis of decolonization in three major modern empires: British, French and Dutch. By comparing these processes from the aftermath of the First World War to the late 20th century, the authors examine decolonization as a long-term process. This new edition includes increased coverage of the Belgian and Portuguese empires, new introductions to each part, and more exploration of cultural aspects of decolonization. The book provides a pan-European framework for understanding decolonization, making it an essential read for students of imperial history and decolonization. The authors incorporate the latest developments in historiography, offering a nuanced analysis of significant changes to the international system, shifting attitudes towards colonialism, and the economics of empire. This new edition is ideal for those interested in taking a comparative approach to decolonization, providing valuable insights into the complex history of empire 'from below'.
