Australia is caught between two worlds. On one hand, it has the opportunity to take advantage of Asia’s rise and intergrate with Asian economies in order to guarantee its inclusion in the region’s rapid growth. On the other The Australian Government and corporate partners Boral, hand, it faces a series of challenges. Asian economies are developing with great speed and promise. Adapting Dow, News Corp Australia, and Northrop Grumman to changing market complementarity and escaping the resource-curse will be crucial to Australia ‘fitting in’. -
Institutions of the Asia-Pacific: ASEAN, APEC, and Beyond
Institutions of the Asia-Pacific The Asia-Pacific is arguably the most important, but also the most complex and contested, region on the planet. Containing three of the world’s largest economies and some of its most important strategic relationships, the capacity of regional elites to promote continuing eco- nomic development while simultaneously maintaining peace and stabi- lity will be one of the defining challenges of the twenty-first century international order. Intuitively, we might expect regional institutions to play a major role in achieving this. Yet one of the most widely noted characteristics of the Asia-Pacific region has been its relatively modest levels of institu- tional development thus far. However, things are changing: as indivi- dual economies in the Asia-Pacific become more deeply integrated, there is a growing interest in developing and adding to the institutions that already exist. Institutions of the Asia-Pacific examines how this region is developing and what role established organizations like APEC and new bodies like ASEAN Plus Three are playing in this process. An expert in the field, Mark Beeson introduces the contested nature of the very region itself— should it be the “Asia-Pacific” or “East Asia” to which we pay most attention and in which we expect to see most institutional development? By placing these developments in historical context, he reveals why the very definition of the region remains unsettled and why the political, economic, and strategic relations of this remarkably diverse region remain fraught and difficult to manage. Mark Beeson is Professor of International Politics at the University of Birmingham. -

Asia Research Centre Celebrating 20 Years ASIA RESEARCH CENTRE
Celebrating 20 years Asia Research Centre Celebrating 20 years ASIA RESEARCH CENTRE Celebrating 20 years since its inception as a Special Research Centre The Asia Research Centre at Murdoch University was first established in 1988. Then in 1991, through a nationally competitive process, it became a Special Research Centre of the Australian Research Council (ARC). As one of only two federally-funded special research centres on Asia in Australia, its brief was to enhance Australia’s understanding of its Asian environment by providing analysis of social, political and economic change in contemporary East and Southeast Asia. In its first nine years of operation (1991 – 1999), central projects considered the impact of the emerging middle classes upon the social, economic and political environments of the Asia-Pacific region, as well as the implications of the currency and financial crises. Following the cessation of funding by the Australian Research Council, which it received for the maximum period of nine years available to a ‘special centre’, the Asia Research Centre had to develop new strategies to maintain its role as an internationally recognised leader in research on contemporary Asia, and seek alternative sources of income. In line with this, key projects in 2000 examined globalisation as well as national and local systems of governance, and cross-border policy issues including the human impact of animal diseases, environmentally sustainable settlements and reverse migration. The Asia Research Centre was reconstituted in 2002 as a divisional centre at Murdoch University. Since then its objectives have been to: produce high quality academic research publications for international and domestic audiences; foster the development of high quality research graduates; and contribute constructively to public policy debate and public understanding on issues concerning contemporary Asia. -
