It explores how the nature of previous imperial systems shaped the nation states that were created in their stead. By outlining these contrasting historical trajectories, this short study argues that the stability of these nation states and their ability to cooperate with one another are dependent on the acceptance of the frontiers established by the previous imperial powers. It moves from Central America, left in the early nineteenth century without any clear borders and which has suffered much inter-state tension ever since, to Southeast Asia, whose clear colonial delineations have been accepted in the post-colonial order, and finally to the Caucasus where the arbitrary boundaries of the Soviet Republics have not easily translated into nation states. Offering a concise comparison of decolonisation in three regions, this book will be of particular interest to students of history, politics and international relations.Cambridge Imperial and Post-Colonial Studies,2635-1633ImperialismWorld historyHistory, ModernWorld politicsImperialism and Colonialismhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/722000World History, Global and Transnational Historyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/719000Modern Historyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/713000Political Historyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911080Central AmericaHistorySoutheast AsiaHistoryCaucasusHistoryCaucasusfastCentral AmericafastSoutheast AsiafastMittelamerikagndKaukasusländergndSüdostasiengndAmérique centraleHistoireramAsie du Sud-EstHistoireramCaucaseHistoireramHistory.fastImperialism.World history.History, Modern.World politics.Imperialism and Colonialism.World History, Global and Transnational History.Modern History.Political History.325.3Tarling Nicholasauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut180023BOOK9910254769703321Decolonisations Compared1971465UNINA
