Project G04: End of Empire. Re-Ordering in Australia, New Zealand and Canada (1960–1980)

Project G04 dealt in the second funding period with the reinvention of the settler colonies of Australia, New Zealand, and Canada as nation-states associated with the end of the British Empire. It now examines the conflictual implementation of the re-ordering results in the late 1970s, when oil shock, the Vietnam War, and experiences of globalization seemed to demystify the hopeful nation-state self-images of the early 1970s.
