The key institution overseeing the development of Australia's international status and foreign policy during that period was the Department of External Affairs.\u003cbr\u003e This stimulating collection of essays explores the history of this government department as it grew from being a small amateur bureaucratic player to become a professional global network.\u003cbr\u003e This book sheds new light on the major figures in Australian international history, H. V. 'Doc' Evatt, Percy Spender, Richard Casey, Garfield Barwick and Paul Hasluck--and their relationships with their senior bureaucratic advisers. The experiences of Australian diplomats, as they joined the Department of External Affairs as junior recruits and worked overseas, are also examined.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003e Ministers, Mandarins and Diplomats\u003c\/i\u003e tells the story of the people, the events and the ideas that shaped Australian foreign policy and gave Australia its identity in the eyes of the rest of the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJoan Beaumont\u003c\/b\u003e is Dean of Arts and Professor of History at Deakin University in Victoria. \u003cb\u003eDavid Lowe\u003c\/b\u003e is Senior Lecturer in History, and \u003cb\u003eChristopher Waters\u003c\/b\u003e a Lecturer in History, at Deakin University. \u003cb\u003eGarry Woodard\u003c\/b\u003e is a former Australian ambassador to China.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 256\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.65 x 9.22 x 6.1 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e March 02, 1999\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45774238941381,"sku":"9780522850475","price":40.27,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0757\/6718\/5605\/files\/tfiCSLlZTy9780522850475.webp?v=1770520589","url":"https:\/\/selloorium.com\/products\/ministers-mandarins-and-diplomats-australian-foreign-policy-making-1941-1969-paperback","provider":"Selloorium","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
