The project examines how China was connected to the global economy through international trade and technology transfer during the period of Mao Zedong’s leadership (1949-1976). It will provide the first comprehensive historical account of Maoist China’s economic relationship with its major trade partners, including the Soviet Union and Japan, by analysing key archival documents in Chinese, Japanese, Russian, and English. Expected outcomes include a new understanding of Maoist China as a part of the economic Cold War and the East Asian model of economic development. The project’s findings could benefit Australia by providing new insights into how China’s early policies under Mao shaped its present and future.Read moreRead less

The political ideas of Asia Pacific women’s regional networks remain under-examined and worse, misunderstood as narrowly about ‘women’s issues’. By combining feminist methodologies to archival research, network mapping and interviews, this project aims to generate new knowledge on how women’s regional networks understand global crises and the transformative solutions to address them. Expected outcomes include an historicised understanding of the intellectual contributions of women from the most crisis-affected region in the world. It should benefit Australian policymakers and practitioners seeking to partner with these networks in collectively responding to crises on multiple fronts – from COVID-19 to conflicts and climate change.Read moreRead less
