Funded Activity Summary

Subversion and National Security: ASIO and the new social movements, 1968-1972. The project will break new ground through an investigation of security surveillance of the anti-war, student, New Left and Women's Liberation movements in the period 1968-72 , using the most recent archival records. It will also explore covert measures to counter the influence of these movements. The interpretation of events will be based on the organising concept of subversion. The project will analyse historically the practical application of this concept, including its management of political difference and dissent, thus casting light on contemporary questions of internal security and the war on terror.
