Post Colonial Woes or Success
In this unit, we have looked at the experience of former colonies in a post-colonial world. Sometimes in was a successful transition (Hong Kong and Singapore). In other cases it was not (Rwanda and Cambodia). What do you think are the most important factors in making the leap from colony to that of stable, independent nation? Why?
The year 1960 is conventionally used as the “stylised date” of independence, for the good reason that it saw the end of colonial rule in most of the French colonies south of the Sahara as well as in the most populous British and Belgian ones (Nigeria and Congo respectively).Half a century is a reasonable period over which to review the economic impact of legacies because it allows us to consider the issue in the context of different phases of post-colonial policy and performance
