Australia was settled as a colony of Britain from the 17th century, and its early history of violent occupation has gradually given way to a relatively peaceful, wealthy, multicultural society. As a post‐colonial country, its people share characteristics with those of Britain, but, as a multicultural society, national identity is increasingly influenced by the cultures of many countries, from both the global North and South. In this paper, the question of Australia's placement as a country of the global North or South is explored. Considerations of geography, the economy, political regimes and national identity are the backdrop to an investigation of Australian scholarship and the attitudes of scholars to the inclusion of Australia as a country of the global South.

澳大利亚和全球南方：知识与地方和身份的歧义

澳大利亚从17世纪开始定居为英国的殖民地，其早期的暴力占领历史已逐渐被一个相对和平，富裕的多元文化社会所取代。作为一个后殖民国家，它的人民与英国具有共同的特征，但是，作为一个多元文化社会，民族身份越来越受到来自全球北方和南方的许多国家文化的影响。本文探讨了澳大利亚在全球北方或南方国家中的地位问题。地理，经济，政治制度和民族身份的考虑是调查澳大利亚学者的背景，也是学者们对将澳大利亚纳入全球南方大国的态度。
