Abstract

Abstract Cooperative departments and organizations were a ubiquitous but rarely studied aspect of British colonial governance in the twentieth century. The Co-operative College in Britain provided specialized training in colonial cooperation to students from across the British Empire. The cooperative movement was a key part of the emergence of regimes of development in the decades between the 1920s and 1960s, reflecting their emphasis on modular solutions deployed by experts in an increasingly homogenizing ‘developing world’. However, the colonial and post-colonial students at the Co-operative College were also critical of colonialism and capitalism, participating in the anti-colonial internationalist effort to create a more just post-imperial world. As post-colonial governments retained cooperative structures, the former students of the Co-operative College used the movement as a counter-balance to the larger forces of nationalism and neo-colonialism.

选择合作社运动?20世纪20年代至60年代合作学院的发展、非殖民化和专业知识的力量
摘要合作部门和组织是20世纪英国殖民统治中普遍存在但很少被研究的方面。英国合作学院为来自大英帝国各地的学生提供殖民合作方面的专业培训。在20世纪20年代至60年代的几十年里,合作运动是发展制度出现的关键部分,反映出它们对专家在日益同质化的“发展中国家”中部署的模块化解决方案的重视。然而,合作学院的殖民主义和后殖民主义学生也对殖民主义和资本主义持批评态度,参与了反殖民国际主义的努力,以创造一个更加公正的后帝国世界。由于后殖民地政府保留了合作结构,合作学院的前学生利用这场运动来对抗更大的民族主义和新殖民主义势力。

期刊介绍: Journal of Global History addresses the main problems of global change over time, together with the diverse histories of globalization. It also examines counter-currents to globalization, including those that have structured other spatial units. The journal seeks to transcend the dichotomy between "the West and the rest", straddle traditional regional boundaries, relate material to cultural and political history, and overcome thematic fragmentation in historiography. The journal also acts as a forum for interdisciplinary conversations across a wide variety of social and natural sciences. Published for London School of Economics and Political Science
