The comparisons include Aboriginal rights, nation building, middle powers, and attitudes toward the Empire.This timely volume is well situated in the field of comparative studies, a new and growing area. It will be of interest to students and scholars of foreign affairs, the British Commonwealth and its dismantling, constitutional history, and international relations.
