This study bridges both gaps. In their analysis of Dutch decolonisation policies since the 1940's, the authors discuss not only political processes, but also development aid, the Dutch Caribbean exodus to the metropolis and cultural antagonisms. A balance is drawn both of the costs and benefits of independence in the Caribbean and of the outlines and results of the policies pursued in the non-sovereign Caribbean by France, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom and the United States.DecolonizationNetherlandsHistory20th centuryDecolonizationCaribbean AreaDutchCaribbean AreaHistoryNetherlandsColoniesAmericaNetherlandsPolitics and government20th centuryCaribbean AreaPolitics and government1945-Netherlands AntillesHistory20th centuryDecolonizationHistoryDecolonizationDutchHistory.Oostindie Gert801056Klinkers Inge801304MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910143538203321Decolonising the Caribbean1802646UNINA
