Many recognised that in the postwar world Australia’s strategic interests and economic fortunes called for a new understanding of Asia and the Pacific. China loomed large in these calculations. Based on extensive research and featuring rare archival documents and photographs, China & ANU introduces the diplomats, adventurers and scholars who contributed to Australia’s engagement with China, the ‘Chinese Commonwealth’ and our region from the 1940s-1950s. In particular, this book focusses on the interconnection between Australia’s first diplomat-scholars in China and the founding of Chinese Studies at the newly established Australian National University.China and Australian National UniversityResearch teamsChinaResearch teamsAustraliaInternational relationsChinaResearchAustraliaaustraliadiplomacychinese studieschinaCanberraJapanResearch teamsResearch teamsInternational relations.001.4068327.94051Sima William968390MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQUkMaJRUBOOK9910136257003321China & ANU2199423UNINA
