Cold War and Decolonisation

In this book, Andrea Benvenuti discusses the development of Australias foreign and defense policies toward Malaya and Singapore in light of the redefinition of Britains imperial role in Southeast Asia and the formation of new postcolonial states. Benvenuti sheds light on the impact of Britain on Australias political and strategic interests in Southeast Asia during the Cold War. It will be of interest to historians of Australias foreign relations, Southeast Asia, and the British Empire and decolonization.
