HIST114: The World Since 1945: An Australian Perspective |
This is a survey of the chief world developments influencing Australian history from 1945 to the present. Principal interest will focus on (a) Europe from post-war crisis and decline to present-day resurgence, with themes of particular interest to Australia including migration, ideological trends, economic integration, decolonisation; (b) the United States in its period of peak world power, with special attention to the politics and economics of the Cold-War era and to the spread of 'American' cultural values; (c) East Asia (principally China and Japan) from post-war settlement to economic transformation with special reference to trade ties and accompanying Australian cultural adjustments.
