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

• Subject Area: Modern and Contemporary History
• Term: from 2015 to 2023
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 170320015

In the second funding period, Project G04 addressed the reinvention of the settler colonies Australia, New Zealand and Canada as nation states following the end of the British Empire. The project now turns to the conflict-laden implementation of the re-ordering in the late 1970s, when the oil crisis, the Vietnam war, and experiences with globalization seemed to deny the hopeful nation states the self-images that had been constructed in the early 1970s.
