The United Nations and Decolonization: Routledge Studies in Modern History

Editat de Nicole Eggers, Jessica Lynne Pearson, Aurora Almada e Santos
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 29 apr 2022
Differing interpretations of the history of the United Nations on the one hand conceive of it as an instrument to promote colonial interests while on the other emphasize its influence in facilitating self-determination for dependent territories. The authors in this book explore this dynamic in order to expand our understanding of both the achievements and the limits of international support for the independence of colonized peoples. This book will prove foundational for scholars and students of modern history, international history, and postcolonial history.
