- Summary:
- Australia's policy towards Britain's end of empire in Southeast Asia influenced the course of this decolonisation in the region. In this book, Andrea Benvenuti discusses the development of Australia's foreign and defence policies towards Malaya and Singapore in light of the redefinition of Britain's imperial role in Southeast Asia and the formation of new post-colonial states. Placed within the growing literature on the global impact of the Cold War, the book sheds new light on the choices made-by Australia, by Britain and the new emerging states-in these crucial years.
