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. 606 $aDecolonization$zNetherlands$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aDecolonization$zCaribbean Area 606 $aDutch$zCaribbean Area$xHistory 607 $aNetherlands$xColonies$zAmerica 607 $aNetherlands$xPolitics and government$y20th century 607 $aCaribbean Area$xPolitics and government$y1945- 607 $aNetherlands Antilles$xHistory$y20th century 615 0$aDecolonization$xHistory 615 0$aDecolonization 615 0$aDutch$xHistory. 700 $aOostindie$b Gert$0801056 701 $aKlinkers$b Inge$0801304 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910143538203321 996 $aDecolonising the Caribbean$91802646 997 $aUNINA
