Six Inch Rule: A Cultural Study of the Australian Occupation of Japan, 1946-1952

这项对澳大利亚对日本经历中被忽视的一段插曲的研究，代表了对澳亚关系理解的重大进步。在将占领日本确立为战后澳大利亚国际关系的重要发展的过程中，该项目将极大地有利于澳大利亚地缘政治的广泛学科，特别是关于外国占领的意识形态和实践作为国家文化的反映。这本计划出版的专著将明显地增加我们与日本文化接触的公共知识体系，并阐明澳大利亚自我定义的一个公认领域——海外服兵役的经历。

This research into a neglected episode in the Australian experience of Japan represents a major advance in understandings of Austral/Asian relationships. In establishing the Occupation of Japan as a crucial development in post-war Australian international relations, the project will be immensely beneficial to the broad discipline of Australian geopolitics, particularly with respect to the ideologies and practices of foreign occupation as reflections of national culture. The projected monograph will demonstrably add to the body of public knowledge of our cultural engagement with Japan, and illuminate an acknowledged area of Australian self-definition - the experience of overseas military service.
