In the three decades from the beginning of World War II Australia
emerged on the world stage as an independent actor in foreign
affairs. The key institution overseeing the development of
Australia's international status and foreign policy during that
period was the Department of External Affairs. 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. 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 Haslucka "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. Ministers, Mandarins and
Diplomats 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.
