孟席斯政府前期对华政策的另一种解读——基于对澳官方档案史料的分析

An Analysis of Australia's China Policy during Menzies Government

学术界一般认为,大选的需要和随后的亚洲冷战格局,使澳大利亚自由党领导人孟席斯奉行对华敌视政策,错失了承认中华人民共和国的机遇。本文在解析官方档案史料的基础上对此问题重新考察,认为在孟席斯政府的前期,考虑到澳自身、美国、台湾和英国等多方因素,加之斯彭德和凯西外长个人的外交风格,澳的对华政策和态度经历了不同发展阶段,并非过去认为的敌视政策。

In 1949,Menzies,the leader of Australian Liberal Party,won the election.
