In recent years there has been a growing interest in the global dimensions of twentieth-century imperialism and anti-imperialism. Historians, themselves part of an increasingly interconnected world, have been drawn to investigate the links between anti-colonial activists working in different parts of the globe. After a period in which most studies had focused either on the perspective of imperial decision makers in Europe or on that of nationalist activists within the framework of one single colony, more recently scholars have argued that the first of these approaches underrates the agency of anti-imperialists in interactions with the imperial rulers, while the second makes it difficult to explain broader, global trends, including the surprising near-simultaneity of decolonisation in large parts of the world between 1945 and 1970. Instead, historians now argue that we need to take into account the inherently internationalist visions of many activists in this period, which led them to travel the world, interact with their counterparts from other colonies, develop shared views of anti-imperialism and provide each other with practical and ideological support. This review article examines some of the most successful monographs to be published in this field between 2014 and 2018.

跨越国界挑战帝国主义：20 世纪国际主义网络对抗帝国的最新研究

近年来，人们对 20 世纪帝国主义和反帝国主义的全球层面越来越感兴趣。历史学家本身就是日益相互联系的世界的一部分，他们被吸引去调查在全球不同地区工作的反殖民活动家之间的联系。在大多数研究集中在欧洲帝国决策者的观点或单一殖民地框架内的民族主义活动家的观点之后，最近的学者认为，这些方法中的第一种低估了反政府机构的作用。帝国主义者与帝国统治者的互动，而第二个则难以解释更广泛的全球趋势，包括 1945 年至 1970 年间世界大部分地区令人惊讶的非殖民化几乎同时发生。相反，历史学家现在认为，我们需要考虑这一时期许多活动家固有的国际主义视野，这导致他们周游世界，与来自其他殖民地的同行互动，发展反帝国主义的共同观点，并为彼此提供实用的知识。和意识形态的支持。这篇评论文章审查了 2014 年至 2018 年间在该领域出版的一些最成功的专着。
