Three talks by BRUCE MILLER
1: Australia in a changing Pacific
In these talks the Professor of International Relations at the Australian National University in Canberra examines the rapidly changing condition of his homeland.
What was once. and recently. a pillar of Empire and the old ' White Commonwealth ' devoted to being a Britain beyond the seas, is today emerging into a self-sufficient and cosmopolitan nation, with a life-style more reminiscent of America than of Britain, and an independent role to play in Asia and the Pacific.
