  • Australia As a Partner of East Asia Countries – Political and Economic
    PRACE NAUKOWE UNIWERSYTETU EKONOMICZNEGO WE WROCŁ AWIU Nr 67 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2009 Integracja Azji Wschodniej. Mit czy rzeczywistość? Anna Janiszewska, Ewa Klima University of Łódź AUSTRALIA AS A PARTNER OF EAST ASIA COUNTRIES - POLITICAL AND ECONOMIC ASPECTS 1. Introduction Australia, a continent “hidden” from Europe for the longest period of time, for many people still remains a synonym of rowdy adventure and a journey into the unknown. Unfortunately, in Poland Terra Incognita is actually a land of the un­ known. Information about the people and the country seldom reach Poland and even Summer Olympics in Sydney in 2004, both a sports and a promotional event, did not manage to change this fact. It is worth to know more about Australia. After all, it is a huge country of great economic potential. It is a country that can become a bridge between the Old World and the most dynamically developing region of the globalization era - Southeast Asia. Political and trade relations between the Com­ monwealth of Australia and countries from the region prove both the increase of this area’s significance and the active role of Australia as an international player. Australia, linked by strong alliances with the USA and Great Britain, is growing to become a fully-fledged partner in the Asia-Pacific region. The aim of this article is to show how strong political and economic relations of Australia and Asian countries, with a particular focus on Southeast Asia, really are.

  • A Quick Guide to Military Anniversaries in 2017
    RESEARCH PAPER SERIES, 2016–17 3 APRIL 2017 Anzac Day 2017 A quick guide to military anniversaries in 2017 David Watt Foreign Affairs, Defence and Security Section In February 2017, the Minister for Veterans’ Affairs announced a list of significant anniversary dates which will be the focus of commemoration during 2017. The Department of Veterans’ Affairs (DVA) website provides, where known, further information about the location and nature of the commemorative activities. The DVA Anzac webpage also enables a search of local events within Australia. The following anniversaries are based on the list set out by the Minister. 15 February 2017—75th anniversary of the Fall of Singapore British Prime Minister Winston Churchill described the Commonwealth defeat at Singapore on 15 February 1942 as ‘the worst disaster and largest capitulation in British history’. In just over two months, Japanese forces managed to defeat Commonwealth forces along the Malaysian Peninsula and invade and occupy the ‘Gibraltar of the East’, the British Empire’s main base in Southeast Asia. In Singapore alone, 80,000 Commonwealth troops (the vast majority of which were British, Indian and Australian) became prisoners of war. A further 40,000 Commonwealth troops had been captured in the fighting on the Malay Peninsula. Approximately 15,000 Australians (most of the 8th Division) were captured in Singapore. As many as 7,000 of those would die before the end of the war. More detailed information on the Malayan and Singapore campaigns can be found in the digitised version of Australia’s Official War History; see chapters 7 to 17 of Volume IV—The Japanese thrust.

  • Ecology of Pyrmont Peninsula 1788 - 2008
    Transformations: Ecology of Pyrmont peninsula 1788 - 2008 John Broadbent Transformations: Ecology of Pyrmont peninsula 1788 - 2008 John Broadbent Sydney, 2010. Ecology of Pyrmont peninsula iii Executive summary City Council’s ‘Sustainable Sydney 2030’ initiative ‘is a vision for the sustainable development of the City for the next 20 years and beyond’. It has a largely anthropocentric basis, that is ‘viewing and interpreting everything in terms of human experience and values’(Macquarie Dictionary, 2005). The perspective taken here is that Council’s initiative, vital though it is, should be underpinned by an ecocentric ethic to succeed. This latter was defined by Aldo Leopold in 1949, 60 years ago, as ‘a philosophy that recognizes[sic] that the ecosphere, rather than any individual organism[notably humans] is the source and support of all life and as such advises a holistic and eco-centric approach to government, industry, and individual’(http://dictionary.babylon.com). Some relevant considerations are set out in Part 1: General Introduction. In this report, Pyrmont peninsula - that is the communities of Pyrmont and Ultimo – is considered as a microcosm of the City of Sydney, indeed of urban areas globally. An extensive series of early views of the peninsula are presented to help the reader better visualise this place as it was early in European settlement (Part 2: Early views of Pyrmont peninsula). The physical geography of Pyrmont peninsula has been transformed since European settlement, and Part 3: Physical geography of Pyrmont peninsula describes the geology, soils, topography, shoreline and drainage as they would most likely have appeared to the first Europeans to set foot there.
