What is development, what has it been in the past, and what can
historians learn from studying the history of development? How has
the field of the history of development evolved over time, and
where should it be going in the future?
This book examines Australian colonial and foreign aid policy
towards Papua New Guinea and Southeast Asia in the age of
international development (1945-1975). During this period, the
academic and political understandings of development consolidated
and informed Australian attempts to provide economic assistance to
the poorer regions to its north. Development was central to the
Australian colonial administration of PNG, as well as its Colombo
Plan aid in Asia. In addition to examining Australia's perception
of international development, this book also demonstrates how these
debates and policies informed Australia's understanding of its own
development. This manifested itself most clearly in Australia's
behavior at the 1964 United Nations Conference on Trade and
Development (UNCTAD). The book concludes with a discussion of
development and Australian foreign aid in the decade leading up to
Papua New Guinea's independence, achieved in 1975.
