Autocracies and Political Domination Andreas Sofroniou

Historians will long debate the heritage of economic development, mass bitterness and cultural cleavage that Autocracies and Political Domination has left to the world. Political problems of decolonisation are grave and immediate. The international community is laden with minute states unable to secure either sovereignty or solvency and with large states erected without a common ethnic base. The world's post-colonial areas often have been scenes of protracted and violent conflicts: ethnic, national regimes, religious and civil wars. The end of colonialism neatly divided nation-states throughout the world and brought rivalry between the great powers.
