From Distant Relatives to Close Partners: India’s Relations with Australia and New Zealand
Routledge Handbook on South Asian Foreign Policy
Edited by Aparna Pande
Despite their common history as former colonies of the British Empire and later members of the Commonwealth of Nations, India’s relations with Australia and New Zealand were mostly cold and distant for decades. Nevertheless, recent changes in the security landscape of the Indo-Pacific have drawn India closer to Australia and New Zealand in an unprecedented way. But this is not a mere accident of history. It is the result of the evolution of the identities and interests of these countries. This chapter explores these processes of identity-formation and reconfiguration and their consequences for New Delhi’s relations with Canberra and Wellington.

Museums as Critical Spaces for Alterity in a Post-Truth World
History in a Post-Truth World: Theory and Praxis
Edited by Marius Gudonis and Benjamin T. Jones
We live in a post-truth world. Leaders and movements all around the world are building physical and virtual walls through narratives that aim for corrupting history in order to exclude the “others”, those that are seen as fundamentally different. Therefore, it is not only necessary but vital to remember the past in order to avoid repeating it and there is no better space to do so than a museum. Consequently, museums can play a crucial role in counteracting Post-Truth discourses by sensitising people through art and other aesthetic expressions that can keep memories alive, bring the past to the present, or raise awareness of certain realities, provoking the viewers, foster reflection and stimulating some empathy towards the suffering and pain of the other, that is, to appeal to those emotions which seem to dominate public opinion in this post-truth era.
