Funded Activity Summary

Six Inch Rule: A Cultural Study of the Australian Occupation of Japan, 1946-1952. This research into a neglected episode in the Australian experience of Japan represents a major advance in understandings of Austral/Asian relationships. In establishing the Occupation of Japan as a crucial development in post-war Australian international relations, the project will be immensely beneficial to the broad discipline of Australian geopolitics, particularly with respect to the ideologies and practices of foreign occupation as reflections of national culture. The projected monograph will demonstrably add to the body of public knowledge of our cultural engagement with Japan, and illuminate an acknowledged area of Australian self-definition - the experience of overseas military service.
