Lee, J. M.
Colonial Development and Good Government:study of the ideas expressed by the British official classes in planning decolonization (1939-1964) - Oxford Clarendon Press 1967 - 311p.
The good intentions of those respon sible were used to justify British colonial administration. Plans for the development of the Colonial Empire after 1940 stressed the importance of education and social welfare. Why were they so dependent on colonial resources? How far were colonial gov ernments reconstructed to take advan tage of long-term planning?
This book examines what the planners thought necessary, and the administrators believed possible. It shows how the assumptions of the 'official classes' dominated policy making, until the power of nationalism transformed the political education of the colonial peoples.
