Tag hinzufügen | Zusammenfassung: | Each book in the Australian Retrospectives series examines a formative issue in Australian history. Written as introductory texts for a non-specialist audience, the books provide a chronological history of the topic, backed by expert analysis and interpretation Implicated, the second publication in the series, examines the involvement of the United States in Australia's economic, political, and cultural history. The US has not simply imposed on Australia a version of itself, nor has it made Australia a dependent, Americanised satellite. Rather, it is (and has been since well before federation) an ambiguous model for Australia - a promise as well as a threat Despite the 'decline' of American power and the 'end' of the cold war, the implications of American power and example continue to colour Australia's political and social identity |
