Funded Activity Summary

Imperial Designs: Remaking the Institutions of Global Communications. Fresh perspectives about markets, hierarchies and networks as ways of organising economic activity will come from better understanding the governance and performance of Australia's overseas communications in the second half of the 20th century. In the internet era, when so much online activity involves overseas access, global links are even more important to the cultural and economic innovation sought through improved broadband infrastructure. Answering the recent call for 'a wide-ranging reassessment of Australia's imperial experience across a broad front', research about the post-war Commonwealth telecommunications scheme will be particularly valuable as the global financial crisis tests forms of globalization that seemed durable.
