description Much has been written on the post-war decolonisation in the Caribbean, but rarely from a truly comparative perspective, and seldom with serious attention to the former Dutch colonies of Surinam, the Netherlands Antilles and Aruba. This study bridges both gaps. In their analysis of Dutch decolonisation policies since the 1940s, 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.

This study bridges both gaps. In their analysis of Dutch decolonisation policies since the 1940s, 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. Waarom verliep de dekolonisatie van 'West-Indië', anders dan die van Indonesië, vreedzaam en zelfs rustig? Waarom werd Suriname uiteindelijk wél onafhankelijk, terwijl de Nederlandse Antillen en het hiervan afgesplitste eiland Aruba beiden een plaats als autonoom land binnen het Koninkrijk der Nederlanden wisten te behouden? Hoe is te verklaren dat ruim een derde van de Surinamers en Antillianen in Nederland woont, ondanks relatief. zeer ruime Haagse ontwikkelingshulp? Hoe verhoudt het Nederlandse beleid ten aanzien van de laatst overgebleven Caraïbische delen van het Koninkrijk zich met dat van Frankrijk, Groot-Brittannië en de Verenigde Staten, landen die elk met een ander model van dekolonisatie in de Caraïben experimenteren? Welke lessen kunnen worden getrokken uit een systematische vergelijking van de vier modellen op dimensies als ontwikkelingshulp, zorg voor deugdelijkheid van bestuur, migratiebeleid en culturele identiteit? Deze vragen staan centraal in Decolonising the Caribbean. De analyse van het Nederlandse beleid is een samenvatting en een update van de veelgeprezen driedelige studie Knellende Koninkrijksbanden die in 2001 verscheen. De nieuwe vergelijkende delen bestrijken een derde deel van het boek en bieden een unieke verkennende exercitie, die ook elders niet eerder zo systematisch werd verricht. 2021-02-10T12:58:18Z 2012-12-31 23:55:55 2019-12-10 14:46:32 2020-04-01T15:19:53Z 2003 book 408881 OCN: 54355076 794698169 http://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/34557 9789053566541 https://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/39726 eng open access image/jpeg image/jpeg image/jpeg image/jpeg image/jpeg n/a n/a n/a n/a n/a https://library.oapen.org/bitstream/20.500.12657/34557/1/408881.pdf https://library.oapen.org/bitstream/20.500.12657/34557/1/408881.pdf https://library.oapen.org/bitstream/20.500.12657/34557/1/408881.pdf https://library.oapen.org/bitstream/20.500.12657/34557/1/408881.pdf https://library.oapen.org/bitstream/20.500.12657/34557/1/408881.pdf Amsterdam University Press 10.5117/9789053566541 10.5117/9789053566541 de2ecbe7-1037-4e96-8c3a-5a842d921e04 9789053566541 292 open access
