Funded Activity Summary

Air war and collateral damage: The fate of Antwerp, Belgium, 1943-45. Operations in the Gulf and Balkans have caused collateral damage to receive much scrutiny from the Australian press and public opinion. The project aims at contributing to a better informed public discourse on the phenomenon by putting the issue of decision making and human repercussions in historical perspective. What gives the project still more relevance is that Australia's forces were involved over Antwerp sixty years ago as they are in the Gulf today. The project may thus contribute also to heightened Australian awareness of the need to balance security objectives abroad with minimizing civilian casualties so as to protect political capital.
