Australia and India: Mapping the Journey
Only rarely has India, home to one-sixth of the world's people, forced itself onto the maps constructed by Australian diplomats and politicians. In this book, Meg Gurry explores why this is so. Australia and India: Mapping the Journey 1944-2014 traces the evolution of Australia's role from outpost of a decolonising British empire and junior member of an American military alliance, to engagement with the Asia-Pacific (without India), and onto partnership in a newly mapped Indo-Pacific region (with India). The story ends with the excitement and optimism engendered by the reciprocated prime ministerial state visits of Tony Abbott and Narendra Modi in 2014, which point, some argue, to a transfor...
Discourses of Danger & Dread Frontiers
"The contributors to this volume offer a comprehensive theoretical critique of the closed and introspective approaches which both define and determine contemporary Australian defence and security policy. They critically assess the basic assumptions of mainstream security thinking challenging existing orthodoxies and means of framing reality. The authors call on policy makers, academics and others working on defence and security issues to think more critically and theoretically; to begin to ask some of the difficult questions that are being raised in other disciplines; and finally, to recognise and accept the contested and problematic nature of many of the concepts that they advance as if they were self-evident. Discourses of Danger is a timely and provocative book which complements and advances the work of the Secure Australia Project and other critics of the Australian security mainstream." -- Back cover.
Australians in Shanghai
In the first half of the twentieth century, a diverse community of Australians settled in Shanghai. There they forged a ‘China trade’, circulating goods, people and ideas across the South China Sea, from Shanghai and Hong Kong to Sydney and Melbourne. This trade has been largely forgotten in contemporary Australia, where future economic ties trump historical memory when it comes to popular perceptions of China. After the First World War, Australians turned to Chinese treaty ports, fleeing poverty and unemployment, while others sought to ‘save’ China through missionary work and socialist ideas. Chinese Australians, disillusioned by Australian racism under the White Australia Policy, arrived to participate in Chinese nation building and ended up forging business empires which survive to this day. This book follows the life trajectories of these Australians, providing a means by which we can address one of the pervading tensions of race, empire and nation in the twentieth century: the relationship between working-class aspirations for social mobility and the exclusionary and discriminatory practices of white settler societies.
Australia and Human Rights
The Howard government's term in office in Australia from 1996 to 2007 is often portrayed as one where Australia retreated from its international human rights obligations. Throughout this era a range of government policies attracted much criticism for downplaying or ignoring human rights. Less attention has been given to the human rights policies of previous Australian governments and the heritage they provided for the Howard government. Situating the policies of the Howard government within those of previous Australian governments provides a greater understanding of human rights in Australia. This book examines human rights policies in Australia in three key areas: human rights in Australia-...
