The Great Powers retreat from Asia

Now comes the reassessment. In this episode, I begin to explore the breakdown of the bi-polar ideological world and the decision of Australia’s ‘Great and Powerful Friends’ to withdraw from Asia. Today, the “new nationalism”, or how Australia began to redefine its relations with Britain for a new era.

Voice Actors: Associate Professor Nick Eckstein, Dr. Vanessa Witton.
