dc.description.abstract	Contrary to the standard narrative of decolonization that represent colonialism as a bilateral relationship of alien rule between a metropole and a colony, colonization involves unequal integration and racial hierarchy. Although it was argued that during the interwar period, the empire was institutionally exible without direct foreign rule, it always involved processes of unequal legal, political, and economic integration that produced a hierarchically ordered international society as we have seen, for example, Ethiopia, Haiti, and Liberia, which were all formally independent and even members of the League of Nations, but subject to various forms of intervention, oversight, and outright occupation.
dc.description.abstract	The new notion of empire, called anticolonial worldmaking”—a project of securing an egalitarian world order had had three features—the introduction of a legal right to self-determination, the formation of regional federations in Africa and the Caribbean and finally the inauguration of a New International Economic Order. Based on this notion, the fall of self-determination and the origins of our contemporary international order can be found in the ideological and institutional transformations that began in the 1970s.
