Description

This scholarly work from Routledge's LSE International Studies Series examines the United Nations' role in conflict resolution across Africa during the 1960s and its intersection with Cold War tensions. Centred on the Congo, the book reveals how preserving existing economic and social structures formed a critical component of the decolonisation process whilst simultaneously serving Cold War objectives. The author connects international dimensions of British, Belgian, Angolan and Central African Federation involvement with United States and UN activities, providing comprehensive analysis of how resource extraction and profit flows from the Congo generated escalating African challenges and geopolitical complications during this pivotal post-colonial period.

Key Features

Examines the Congo crisis as a case study of UN involvement in African decolonisation and Cold War diplomacy during the 1960s.

Analyses the roles of British, Belgian, Angolan and Central African Federation powers alongside US and UN intervention strategies.

Explores how economic interests and resource extraction shaped Cold War conflict in Central Africa.

Published by Routledge as part of the LSE International Studies Series for academic readers and historians.
