Timor-Leste's Long Road to Independence: Transnational Perspectives
From a much neglected Portuguese colony to independence, Timor-Leste travelled a belated, long and troubled journey that included a 24-year Indonesian occupation. A classic process of European decolonization (1974-1975) was followed by a nationalist struggle against 'Third World Colonialism' (1975-1999), and a final phase under the direct aegis of the United Nations (1999-2002). More than a direct relation between coloniser and colonised, this tu…
The Peacekeeping Legacy in Timor-Leste: Imperial Re-Encounters
A wide variety of UN peace operations was deployed in Timor-Leste almost continuously from 1999 to 2012. Enduring ‘legacies’, therefore – intended or unintended – were inevitable. They would be any
Portugal: Decolonization without Agency
This chapter examines the singularities of Portuguese decolonization by contrasting Salazarist ideas of ‘lusotropicalism’ and ‘pluricontinentalism’ with the widespread turn to insurgent violence that heralded the rebellions of the early 1960s that ultimately tore the empire apart. If the term ‘decolonization’ is taken to imply a policy actively pursued by the colonial power, its use in relation to Portugal in 1974-75 may be problematic. Portugal’…

The Sins of the Fathers? From League of Nations Mandates to United Nations Peacekeeping
From the outset, the United Nations displayed a fixed, though probably understandable, determination to distance itself from the ‘toxic brand’ of its predecessor, the League of Nations. Inescapably
United Nations Peacekeeping Force in Cyprus (Unficyp)
This article focuses on the United Nations Peacekeeping Force in Cyprus (UNFICYP), a peacekeeping operation launched by the UN Security Council in April 1964 in response to ethnic violence between Greek and Turkish Cypriots which followed an attempt by the Geeek Cypriot majority government to alter the national constitution in a way which would have reduced the power of the Turkish Cyrpiot minority. The article first explores the background to th…

The Oxford Handbook of United Nations Peacekeeping Operations presents an innovative, authoritative, and accessible examination and critique of all United Nations peacekeeping operations launched between 1948 and 2013. Since the late 1940s, but particularly since the end of the Cold War, peacekeeping has been the most visible and one of the most important activities of the United Nations and a significant part of global security governance and co…

Colonialism
Europe’s rapacious hunger for other people’s lands is one of the key shaping forces of our contemporary world. Everything is touched by our colonial past, from the way we see the world to the food we eat. Our contemporary preoccupations and ills – from globalization to humanitarian intervention to international terrorism – have colonialism somewhere in their genetic make-up. The character and policies of contemporary international organizations –…

Grocer meets Butcher’: Marcello Caetano's London visit of 1973 and the last days of Portugal's Estado Novo
The visit of the Portuguese premier Marcelo Caetano to London in July 1973 failed to boost Portugal's international respectability. Instead, despite the qualified sympathy of the British Conservative government, the visit highlighted Lisbon's isolation from the realities of the cold war and détente. Public protests punctuated the visit, and the gulf between the attitudes of the main British political parties to Portugal and its African policies w…
Comrades, Clients and Cousins: Colonialism, socialism and democratization in Sao Tome and Principe, by Gerhard Seibert
This large-scale and immensely thorough study began life as ‘continental’ doctoral thesis and has retained all the minutiae of fact and referencing associated with that species. It is the result of years of assiduous fieldwork, lengthy archival research in Africa and Europe, and extensive interviews with key actors in the development of São Tomé and Príncipe since independence in 1975. Seibert's approach successfully bridges the disciplines of so…
Belated Decolonization and UN Politics against the Backdrop of the Cold War: Portugal, Britain, and Guinea-Bissau's Proclamation of Independence, 1973–1974
When a guerrilla movement opposing Portuguese rule in Guinea-Bissau issued a unilateral declaration of independence in September 1973, it created a dilemma for Portugal's allies in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO). Although Britain, like other NATO countries, wanted to keep Portugal within the alliance, British officials were exasperated by the Portuguese regime's refusal to let go of its colonies in Africa. When the United Nations (…

A Community of Illusions? Portugal, the CPLP and Peacemaking in Guiné-Bissau
Portugal's intervention in the Guineacute-Bissau crisis of 1998-99 was designed in part to assert a continuing special relationship with Africa and in part to give purpose to the Community of Portuguese-Speaking States (CPLP) as an inter-governmental organization. Ultimately, the undertaking illustrated the limits rather than the possibilities of peacemaking and peacekeeping by former colonial powers in Africa. These limits were set by difference…
An Ill Wind? Rethinking the Angolan Crisis and the Portuguese Revolution, 1974–1976
Just before midnight on 10 November 1975 Portugal's high commissioner in Angola, along with the last remnants of the Portuguese army in Africa, embarked for Lisbon. Earlier in the day he had formally transferred sovereignty not to a successor government but to ‘the Angolan people’, a formulation which permitted Portugal to ‘decolonise’ without taking sides in the civil war which was at that time reaching its climax in Angola. Immediately the perf…

Portugal's First Domino: ‘Pluricontinentalism’ and Colonial War in Guiné-Bissau, 1963–1974
Portugal's presence in Guiné-Bissau through eleven years of intense guerrilla war was justified by the doctrine of ‘pluricontinentalim’. In this view concession to nationalist pressure in one part of the ‘indivisible state’ would lead inevitably to the collapse of the whole. The defence of Portuguese Guiné, therefore, was the price to be paid for the maintenance of the infinitely more valuable territories of Angola and Mozambique. While the Salaz…

Peacekeeping by attrition: The United Nations in Angola
At the end of June 1997, the mandate of the third United Nations Angola Verification Mission (UNAVEM III) was completed with conditional success, and superseded by the more modestly manned and resourced Observation Mission in Angola (Missão de Observação das Nações Unidas em Angola - MONUA). The 'draw-down' of UNAVEM III marked the end of one period in the UN's somewhat chequered history of engagement in Angola. The completion of its mandate foll…
