Face to Face with Asia: Australia, the Colombo Plan and the Asian Engagement Debate, 1950-1975

与亚洲面对面：澳大利亚、科伦坡计划和亚洲接触辩论，1950-1975。该项目将是对澳大利亚参与援助南亚和东南亚的科伦坡计划进行的第一次全面研究。它将把这种参与作为战后澳大利亚与亚洲交往的核心部分进行研究。它将在三个主要标题下进行：澳大利亚外交政策；文化外交;以及高等教育的国际化。该项目将在弥合澳大利亚外交政策的历史和澳大利亚-亚洲关系的文化史之间的差距方面具有创新性。它将为我们作为亚太国家的身份重新配置的持续研究提供良好的基础。

Face to Face with Asia: Australia, the Colombo Plan and the Asian Engagement Debate, 1950-1975. This project will be the first comprehensive study of Australia's involvement in the Colombo Plan for aid to South and Southeast Asia. It will examine this involvement as a central part of Australia's engagement with Asia in the postwar period. It will do so under three main headings: Australian foreign policy; cultural diplomacy; and the internationalisation of higher education. The project will be innovative in bridging the gap between histories of Australian foreign policy and cultural histories of Australian-Asian relations. It will provide an excellent foundation for on-going research into the consequent reconfiguring of our identity as an Asia-Pacific nation.
