Dan Halvorson examines Australian engagement with Asia across the three decades following the Second World War. He considers how Commonwealth relationships and Cold War alignments shaped decisions about regional cooperation, security and diplomatic responsibility.
The chapters follow the immediate postwar period, decolonisation, non-communist solidarity in East Asia and changing expectations of Australia’s regional role. British influence, Asian regionalism and Australian policy are placed in relation to one another rather than treated as separate stories. The study draws on historical records and includes references and an index.
