Transfers of Colonial Order: Internal Security Models after the Great War (Methodological Aspect)

The article reveals the possibilities of historical reconstruction of the experience of the leading European powers in matters of the transfer of the colonial order in the “short 20th century”, including its reception outside the global empires, which are opened thanks to the methodological synthesis of the «New Imperial history» and “New Cold war history”. Specific historical examples in the widely interpreted chronological framework of decolonization, including the Interbellum era, show how such an approach helps to restore gaps in the historical genealogy of modern models of internal security in the face of growing and protracted civil conflicts, often of a hybrid nature. The findings broadened the understanding of the expertise and nature of the domestic security policies of leading Powers by identifying the gap between relevant practices and their consistent mythologization, including in historiographical form.
