| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The aim of this reseach is to review conventional interpretation of British aid and decolonization which has largely been dominated by a notion of what is called neo-colonialism. Based on British documents of the late 1960s and early 1970s and sources in East African libraries, this reseach challenges the conventional interpretation of neo-colonialism.
The documents demonstrate that the new states of East Africa enjoyed a substantial degree of autonomy, that Britain's aid policy was inconsistent and that Britain's involvement in the affairs of its former colonies was reluctant. These accounts reveal that the impact of British policy on newly independent states was actually limited, and thus the nature of Britain's relationship with its ex-colonies and the discourse of neo-colonialism are debatable.
