Description

This LSE International Studies Series book examines the United Nations' role in African conflict resolution during the 1960s and its intersection with Cold War geopolitics. Focusing on the Congo, the work reveals how preservation of existing economic and social structures shaped the decolonisation process whilst Cold War powers competed for influence. The author connects international involvement from Britain, Belgium, Angola and the Central African Federation with American and UN actions, demonstrating how resource extraction and profit mechanisms from the Congo generated escalating African tensions and instability. The book provides essential context for understanding how superpower competition and colonial legacies combined to destabilise a crucial Central African nation during a transformative historical period.

Key Features

Routledge publication offers scholarly analysis of UN peacekeeping and conflict resolution efforts in 1960s Africa through the Congo crisis.

Examines Cold War dynamics by tracing British, Belgian, Angolan and Central African Federation roles alongside US and UN involvement in decolonisation.

Reveals how economic preservation and resource profits from the Congo influenced both decolonisation strategies and Cold War competition.

Part of the LSE International Studies Series, providing academic depth for historians and international relations scholars studying post-colonial African conflicts.

Connects macro-level geopolitical strategy with ground-level consequences, showing how external interventions shaped Congo's development trajectory.
