Research Abstract |
The purpose of this research is to examine an interactive role of the British aid policy in the heady days of independence in Africa. Based on official documents in the 1960s and the 1970s it casts a new light on the perspective of the British aid policy and Britain’s external relations with Africa: Britain did not push for neo-colonial relations with (ex) colonies in Africa but eager to discard her ties to sluggish economies. For Africa, it meat that the continent was eliminated from the economic interest of developed countries, and thus, forced to have a tenuous relationship with the center of the international economy.
