À propos de ce contenu audio

 This podcast series is about Australia’s relations with and response to the world from the late 19th Century to the present. It focuses on the historical, cultural, ideological, economic and strategic factors shaping the government’s foreign and defence policies. It looks first at historical themes that still have a bearing on Australia in the contemporary world, then moves on to discuss how Australian politicians and policymakers have reacted to and acted in periods of war and stress, crisis and creativity, hope and delusion. It looks at the role of prime ministers, individual ministers and political parties, the globalising economy, trade, immigration and debates over alliances, Asia, and national loyalty. Written and presented by Professor James Curran from the University of Sydney (Discipline of History) , who is also the International Editor at The Australian Financial Review.University of Sydney Sciences sociales

    • Comprehensive Engagement with Asia

      Comprehensive Engagement with Asia
      Apr 24 2024

      The retreat of Britain and America from the region at the end of the East Asian Cold War caused Australia to redefine itself in relation to Britain and to reassess it relations with the US. As a result Australia, recognising the limits of the American alliance began to focus its energies on the Asia Pacific region in a new way. This episode will look first at the foundations of Australia’s new approach to Asia which the Whitlam and Fraser governments laid down from 1972 to 1983.

      The Great Powers retreat from Asia
      Apr 10 2024

      Now comes the reassessment. In this episode, I begin to explore the breakdown of the bi-polar ideological world and the decision of Australia’s ‘Great and Powerful Friends’ to withdraw from Asia. Today, the “new nationalism”, or how Australia began to redefine its relations with Britain for a new era.
