- More about The End of Empires and a World Remade: A Global History of Decolonization
Martin Thomas explores the connections between the end of formal empire and the acceleration of global integration, market reorganization, cultural exchange, and migration in his expansive history of decolonization. He shows how decolonization shaped the process of globalization in the wake of empire collapse, catalyzed new international coalitions, triggered partitions and wars, and reshaped North-South dynamics. However, the neoliberal variant of globalization has reinforced economic inequalities and imperial forms of political and cultural influences. Thomas provides a masterful analysis of the greatest process of state-making and empire-unmaking in modern history.

A capacious history of decolonization from the decline of empires to the era of globalization Martin Thomas tells the story of decolonization and its intrinsic link to globalization in his book, "The End of Empires and a World Remade." He traces the connections between these two transformative processes: the end of formal empire and the acceleration of global integration, market reorganization, cultural exchange, and migration. The End of Empires and a World Remade shows how profoundly decolonization shaped the process of globalization in the wake of empire collapse. In the second half of the twentieth century, decolonization catalyzed new international coalitions, triggered partitions and wars, and reshaped North-South dynamics. Globalization promised the decolonized greater access to essential resources, wider networks of influence, and worldwide audiences, but its neoliberal variant has reinforced economic inequalities and imperial forms of political and cultural influences. In surveying these two codependent histories across the world, from Latin America to Asia, Thomas explains why the deck was so heavily stacked against newly independent nations. Decolonization stands alongside the great world wars as the most transformative event of twentieth-century history. In The End of Empires and a World Remade, Thomas offers a masterful analysis of the greatest.
