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. 517 1 $aChina and Australian National University 606 $aResearch teams$zChina 606 $aResearch teams$zAustralia 606 $aInternational relations 607 $aChina$xResearch$zAustralia 610 $aaustralia 610 $adiplomacy 610 $achinese studies 610 $achina 610 $aCanberra 610 $aJapan 615 0$aResearch teams 615 0$aResearch teams 615 0$aInternational relations. 676 $a001.4068 676 $a327.94051 700 $aSima$b William$0968390 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bUkMaJRU 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910136257003321 996 $aChina & ANU$92199423 997 $aUNINA
