Stephen Henningham, BA Hons (UNSW), PhD (ANU), is a specialist historian in the Historical Publications Section of the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT). He was a joint editor of the preceding volume on Australia and Nauru and has coedited, with the late Bruce Hunt, two volumes in the Documents on Australian Foreign Policy series on Australia and Papua New Guinea during the latter's transition to self-government and independence. He worked primarily on the Pacific Islands region, including during three postings in that region, during several years as a mainstream DFAT officer. He has published on the history and politics of the Francophone Pacific and the wider Pacific Islands region and on aspects of the history of Bihar in northern India in the late colonial period. Matthew Jordan, BA Hons, PhD (Sydney University), is Head of DFAT's Historical Publications Section, General Editor of the Documents on Australian Foreign Policy, and a joint editor of the preceding volume on Australia and Nauru and, with Robert Bowker, a volume on Australia and the Suez Crisis. He has published mostly on Australian foreign policy history, focusing on the role played by ideas of race and nation in shaping Australia's attitudes to the world. Having edited a DAFP volume on Australia and the Rhodesian Problem, 19611972 (UNSW Press, 2017), he is preparing a follow-up volume on Australia's approach to Zimbabwean independence in the 1970s and 1980s. He is also finalising a DAFP volume on the liberalisation and abolition of the White Australia Policy from the 1940s to the 1970s.
