Funded Activity Summary

Transportation and Transformation: How Local Conditions Changed Traditional Ideas into Modern Politics. Knowledge of how ideas make, and are changed by, their ?journey? from place to place and over time is vital for a better understanding of our region and the world. The focus in this study on the influences acting upon the development of attitudes can give us a new perspective on our similarities and differences with other postcolonial societies. This study, through its comparative work with Britain, will also provide a much clearer picture of the influences upon Australia's political and social development and allow us to understand more effectively how ?local? and ?imported? ideas have melded together to form our national characteristics.
