Towards a globalised history of international relations, the case of Japan

该项目旨在通过纳入第一个非欧美现代大国日本的案例，并发展殖民主义内在化的理论，来修改以欧美为中心的国际关系史理解。对澳大利亚和其他国家的好处包括获得对这段历史的更准确的历史知识，更深入地了解这种占主导地位的理解对非欧美大国行动的影响，以及增强政策制定者和实践者对他们对后殖民社会计划的敏感性。这一修订的历史也有助于公众就重新思考处理澳大利亚社会内部和国际上多样性所产生的问题的措施进行辩论。

This project aims to revise the Euro-American-centric understanding of the history of international relations by incorporating the case of the first non-Euro-American modern power, Japan, and developing theory that internalises colonialism. Benefits to Australia and beyond include gaining a more historically accurate knowledge of this history, greater insights into the impact of this dominant understanding on the actions of non-Euro-American powers, and enhanced sensitivity of policy-makers and practitioners to their schemes to post-colonial societies. This revised history could also benefit general public debates on rethinking measures for dealing with issues arising from the diversity within Australian society and internationally.
