The project provides the first comprehensive historical account of Australia's international relations in education, presented in light of evolving policy and strategic concerns. International education has become increasingly important for Australian foreign policy and national development post-WW2, and has been taking on particular weight in educational policy and practice. The project investigates how pursuing the national interest through international engagement has helped shape the educational dimensions of economic and social policy in Australia. Developing an innovative conceptual framework - based on a contrast between the logic of internationalism and of globalisation - is of particular significance.
