Document Summary
Neglected aspects of history: earlier lecture: c19 as remarkably peaceful; almost no gp war in europe, yes but not rest of world rise of imperialism. Worldwide, c19 actually one of bloodiest in history or the cold war: Mearsheimer (1990): we"ll all soon miss the cold war sure, pretty peaceful among the great powers but extremely violent elsewhere: e. g. superpowers fighting proxy wars in. Africa, asia, middle east & latin america effects linger even today: e. g. al qa"eda + 1980s mujahideen. Post-colonialism: development of today"s international order & international economy directly linked to colonialism + its forms of violence partial result of rise of worldwide european empires & colonies. World"s coming together as single unit what today we"d call globalisation was one of europe"s legacies to world but one soaked in blood. Impact of de-colonization: de-colonization process after wwii: one of most important events to shape.
