Book description
The Australia in World Affairs series commenced in 1950 and provides a continuous, researched scholarly account of Australia's foreign policy. The second volume, Australia in World Affairs 1956–1960, begins with the crisis caused by the nationalisation of the Suez Canal Company, the subsequent attack upon Egypt and the Hungarian revolt, and concludes with the civil war in Laos and the nagging friction between the Republic of Indonesia and the Netherlands over New Guinea. During this time, Australia's search for security continued and the three-pronged approach developed in the immediate post-war period was carried further: close association with a Britain becoming more deeply involved in Europe through NATO, and attracted by possible membership of the European Economic Community; collaboration with the United States as the dominant power in the Pacific and the Atlantic; and the development of mutual sympathy and understanding with important areas of the non-Communist Asian world.
