  • Descrição: This updated Seminar Studies volume provides an overview of the process of British decolonisation. At the end of the Second World War the empire still spanned the globe and yet by the mid-1960s most of Britain’s major dependencies had achieved independence. Concisely and accessibly, Nicholas White introduces students to this often dramatic story of colonial wars and emergencies, and fraught international relations. This second edition of Decolonisation: the British Experience since 1945 provides an up-to-date synthesis of recent historiographical approaches to the subject, by looking at the demise of British imperial power from three main perspectives: the shifting emphases of British overseas policy the rise of populist, anti-colonial nationalism the international political, strategic, and economic environment dominated by the USA and the USSR. The book also examines the British experience within the context of European decolonisation as a whole and includes a section of documents to help contextualise the arguments, both textual and visual. The text includes maps, a chronology of independence, a guide to the main characters involved, and an extensive bibliography, expanded for this edition. This new book is ideal for students studying this complex phenomenon, the legacies of which continue to reverberate on a global scale.
