Strategic Friendship: Anglo-German Cooperation in the Asia-Pacific Region.

本项目旨在通过迄今为止被忽视的德国档案材料，调查英德在亚太地区不为人知的合作历史。这些资料表明，在文化、科学、经济、军事和政治事务中，相互援助的网络繁荣而紧密，成功地削弱了地方主权，但却在第一次世界大战中突然结束。该项目预计将产生一段新的历史，挑战亚太地区英德对抗的英语国家长达一个世纪的理解。它的好处包括提供了关于亚太地区大国关系历史的新知识，并为理解我们地区的战略合作建立了一个更好的历史框架。

This project aims to investigate the untold history of Anglo-German cooperation in the Asia-Pacific region through hitherto neglected German archival materials. These materials point to thriving and thick webs of mutual assistance in cultural, scientific, economic, military and political affairs that successfully weakened local sovereignty but ended abruptly with World War One. The project expects to produce a new history challenging century-long Anglophone understandings of Anglo-German antagonism in the Asia-Pacific region. Its benefits include providing new knowledge of the history of great power relations in the Asia-Pacific region and establishing an improved historical framework for understanding strategic cooperation in our region.
