Description

Explore the complex history of the Congo during the Cold War with this scholarly work from the LSE International Studies Series. This book examines how the United Nations functioned in conflict resolution across Africa during the 1960s and its connection to global superpower tensions. By focusing on the Congo, the text explains how maintaining existing economic and social structures became a central part of the decolonisation process. It connects the international actions of the US and UN with the involvement of Britain, Belgium, Angola, and the Central African Federation. Readers will gain a better understanding of how the movement of supplies and the pursuit of profits from the Congo contributed to growing problems across Africa. This book provides a detailed look at how a large Central African nation became a focal point for international interests and geopolitical struggle.

Key Features

Links the actions of the US and UN with the involvement of Britain, Belgium, Angola, and the Central African Federation.

Part of the respected LSE International Studies Series published by Routledge.
