Description

Decolonization: A Short History by Jan Jansen and Jürgen Osterhammel is a concise and accessible history of decolonization in the twentieth century. This pivotal event saw dozens of new states emerge as actors in global politics, marking the end of colonial rule in Asia, Africa, and the Caribbean. The book examines the economic repercussions of decolonization and its impact on international power structures, shedding light on how it continues to shape world order today. A comparative perspective is provided, taking into account the unique regional and imperial contexts in which decolonization unfolded. By exploring this complex process, Jansen and Osterhammel reveal the long-term consequences of decolonization, providing a nuanced understanding of its significance in modern history.
