The Last Colonies

The Last Colonies

Editorial Reviews
Review
' ... this is an informative and densely packed study ... a good teaching guide for a specialised, but interesting, area of comparative politics and human geography, and a useful introduction for anyone interested in islands and enclaves.' Australian Journal of Political Science

Book Description
The handover of Hong Kong to China focused attention on the colonies that remain in what is supposed to be a postcolonial world. This paradox lies at the heart of this comprehensive and authoritative book, which is about the last colonies, those remaining territories formally dependent on metropolitan powers. It discusses the surprisingly large number of these territories, mainly small isolated islands with limited resources. The Last Colonies provides a broad-based and provocative discussion of decolonization, and interdependence in the modern world, from a unique and original perspective.
