Sumario:"From its beginnings as a settler society through to present day concerns about 'broadbanding the nation', the nation-building narrative has resonated with Australians. The very idea of nation-building has both excited the popular imagination about what we might achieve as a society and a nation, and has occasioned despair about missed opportunities. The eleven authors contributing to this monograph reflect on these, and other themes from a variety of perspectives. They challenge our understanding of the term 'nation-building', reflect on its contemporary relevance as a framework for public policy and even re-appraise the contribution of past 'iconic' nation-building endeavours"--Provided by publisher

"This monograph arose from the special workshop, 'Nation-building in Australia: Past, Present Present and Future', offered as part of the Governing by Looking Back conference held at the Australian National University from 12-14 December, 2007"--Acknowledgements
