| Summary: |
Documents on Australian International Affairs 1901-1918 fills a significant gap. This important volume provides for the first time a comprehensive and authoritative range of material to permit an appreciation of how Australia as a nation came to promote and defend its interests in the world at large. The volume covers the formative years, from Federation to the end of the First World War, when Australia first ventured into the field of international relations. For Australia it was a matter of balancing its desires to make its own way as a new nation with important and powerful Empire interests. The emphasis in the selection is on official documents. But the editors believe that much non-official material can also enlarge an understanding of how and why policy evolved. Many years of careful research have produced a wide-ranging coverage. It includes material from governmental archives, political parties, trade unions, interest and pressure groups, newspapers, other contemporary comment and statistics. The selection is reinforced by an extensive commentary. (Inside cover) |
