Decolonisation

Professor Martin Thomas, Professor Julia Laite and Professor Adam Hanieh · Gresham College

Start with lecture 1 At Gresham College

About

The lecture shares perspectives from global history, comparative politics, and international relations to revaluate whether the twentieth-century collapse of European colonialism was as definitive as often portrayed. It suggests that, while in some ways, ending European Empires remade our contemporary world, in others processes of decolonization are far from complete.
