Safe for Decolonization

The Eisenhower Administration, Britain and Singapore

Beschreibung

Based on a wide array of archival sources from Great Britain, the Netherlands, Singapore, and the US, this examines the initiatives undertaken by the United States in late-colonial Singapore. Apart from simply analysing the effect of American activities on the politics of the island, S. R. Joey Long also examines their impact on the relationship between Great Britain and the US, and how the Anglo-American nuclear policy toward China and the establishment of a regional security institution affected the security and decolonization of a strategic British base.
