Avustralya’nın Asya-Pasifik’te Tehdit Algısı: Sarı Tehlike (1850-1914)
Australia’s Perception of Threat in Asia-Pacific: The Yellow Peril (1850-1914)

Summary/Abstract: With the settlement of Anglo-Saxon-Celtic immigrants in Australia in 1788 by Great Britain, the Australia Colony was formed. The discovery of gold mine in Australia in 1850s had irreversibly changed the economic, social and political dynamics of the island/continent. During the process named as the Gold Rush, the influx of Chinese immigrants to Australia to find job and Japan’s completion of economic and military modernization determined Australia’s foreign policy in Asia-Pacific. The threat perception shaped around the basic argument that Japan would emerge as a power in Asia-Pacific and that Australia would be invaded by Asian societies, which had been named as the Yellow Peril. In this study, Australia’s foreign policy from 1850 to 1914 on Asia-Pacific, in particular Asia, is examined.
