INTS2002: Decolonisation: The End of Empire?

2025 unit information

Decolonisation has been a major force in reshaping the international system in the last century. Particularly after World War II, hopes for an era of self-rule encouraged colonial societies to fight for their independence and, eventually, to emerge from the ruins of former Western imperial settings across Asia, the Middle East, Africa, the Caribbean and the Pacific. Students will be instructed in the critical study of these anticolonial struggles, the resulting formation of new postcolonial states across the globe and the persistent legacies of Western imperialism that counteracted those waves of decolonisation.
