Anti-Colonial Internationalism and the Congo Crisis

The book argues that there was always these two sides of anti colonial internationalism. Rite one, this minimalous kind of defense the states of the sovereign state, and then more ambitious projects such as regional authority or economic regulation. The second development that you talk about is the emergence of a kind of language of humanitarian intervention. And so our approach can't be a one that just wishes them away, but tries to work in, through and beyond them to transform the set of relations you write with the world making projects waning on the international stage.
