SynopsisThese essays explore the evolution of the Australian Department of External Affairs from its beginnings as a small amateur department to its rise as a highly professional global operation. The relationships between ministers, bureaucrats, and overseas officers are detailed, explaining the role they played in creating Australian foreign policy. Also discussed is the influence of the policies of two leading political figures, Percy Spencer and Richard Casey, whose experience spanned the political and diplomatic services of this period., In the three decades from the beginning of World War II Australia emerged on the world stage as an independent actor in foreign affairs. The key institution overseeing the development of Australia's international status and foreign policy during that period was the Department of External Affairs. This stimulating collection of essays explores the history of this government department as it grew from being a small amateur bureaucratic player to become a professional global network. This book sheds new light on the major figures in Australian international history, H. V. 'Doc' Evatt, Percy Spender, Richard Casey, Garfield Barwick and Paul Hasluck--and their relationships with their senior bureaucratic advisers. The experiences of Australian diplomats, as they joined the Department of External Affairs as junior recruits and worked overseas, are also examined. Ministers, Mandarins and Diplomats tells the story of the people, the events and the ideas that shaped Australian foreign policy and gave Australia its identity in the eyes of the rest of the world.
