More than ninety countries, including several major importing countries, are Parties to this Convention. There are several others that are presently considering their accession. In Asia, over twenty states have also ratified this UNESCO Convention. This Convention requires the States to cooperate in the prevention and fight against illicit traffic through various means, especially legislative, educational and administrative. It is important that States come together to develop regional approaches in such an endeavour. It is also significant for cooperative work between all the concerned agencies such as ICOM, ICCROM, ICOMOS, Interpol,World Customs Organisation, Council for the Prevention of Art Theft along with the various representative offices of UNESCO at the region level.This volume is testimony to such cooperation and significant collaborative work. This is the UN International Year of Cultural Heritage with UNESCO as the lead agency. I would like to congratulate the Asia Pacific Organisation of ICOM and its Chairperson, Professor Amareswar Galla and his Executive Board members, for bringing out this very important volume as part of the core advocacy for cultural heritage protection in the region during this year. Such regional activities are critical for recognition of the various needs based on the cultural diversity of the Asia Pacific Region. I wish the readers all the best in furthering the important work of protection of cultural heritage during this UN year.

In Vietnam, the United States lost the war but is now well on the way to winning the peace. Could that be Vietnam's real lesson for the American involvement in Iraq? A gateway to both northeast Asia and southeast Asia, Vietnam is a hinge country with enormous strategic significance. Much of the credit for America's positioning to win the peace in Vietnam belongs to communist China. Beginning in 1979, China's Communist Party leadership under Deng Xiaoping tentatively and (many say) reluctantly opened the economy to legal market transactions. Over time, the market experimentation was allowed to deepen, and it was combined with an opening of China to the world. This colossal turnabout--as much as the collapse of the Soviet Union--has transformed the world. China's incredible success on the capitalist road--alongside Vietnam's desperate postwar poverty through the 1980s and the perceived threat of a muchinvigorated China on Vietnam's northern border--induced the Vietnamese communists to launch their own "renovation" (doi moi, in Vietnamese) in December, 1986. Much of the party's old guard in Hanoi resigned. A decade or so of mixed results ensued, nothing like China's boom. And then, around 1999-2000, the Vietnamese economy finally did take off when an enhanced law on private enterprise gave the green light to small and medium-size businesses.

  • Art at the Crossroads: Lacquer Painting in French Vietnam
    126 Art at the Crossroads Art at the Crossroads: Lacquer Painting in French Vietnam Lisa Bixenstine Safford, Hiram College During the last phase of French occupation in Vietnam (1887–1954), a new and unique direction for pictorial arts was inaugurated that continues to inform the country’s art scene to this day.1 In a culture that lacked a developed painting tradition from which to draw inspiration, painting with lacquer formed a distinctive and novel medium that could be applied to fresh artistic subjects. In 1925 the arts first began to evolve rapidly thanks to the creation of the École Superieure de Beaux Arts d’Indochine, a new school in Hanoi that was founded by the relatively unknown French painters Victor Tardieu (1870– 1937) and Joseph Inguimberty (1896–1971).2 Together with other artists such as Nguyễn Vạn Thọ (1890–1973, better known as Nam Sơn), who was sent to Paris for a year of training in 1924 for his new post as an art instructor,3 they embarked on a mission civilisatrice to educate promising artisans (thợ vẽ) so that they would advance to the status of “artists” (hoạ sĩ) and subsequently sign their works as individual creators.4 The French colonial view that La France d’Asie possessed no distinctive artistic and cultural identity was central to the school’s inception.5 Thus, the school set about creating a new cultural identity that was grafted from a modernist French pictorial language of art. The students’ training in European artistic styles eventually merged with East Asian and indigenous wood-based, folk craft sources, the privileging of which can be read as a rejection of French style.

  • Celebrating SPAFA's 50Th Anniversary in 2021
    SOUTHEAST ASIAN MINISTERS OF EDUCATION ORGANIZATION REGIONAL CENTRE FOR ARCHAEOLOGY AND FINE ARTS PRESS RELEASE: SEAMEO SPAFA’s 50th Anniversary in 2021 “For our part we think the region will profit from our work in the Arts in creating in a near future a centre for applied research in archaeology and fine arts (ARCAFA = Applied Research Centre in Archaeology and Fine Arts).” 50 years ago, in the opening statement of His Excellency Chhanh Sokhum, Minister of Education, of the Khmer Republic (now Cambodia) on 11 January 1971 at the Sixth Conference of the Southeast Asian Ministers of Education Council (SEAMEC) held in Saigon (Ho Chi Minh city) that set into motion the creation of what is today the Southeast Asian Ministers of Education Organization Regional Centre for Archaeology and Fine Arts (SEAMEO SPAFA). Even though ARCAFA may have been first mentioned in 1971, many years of planning, task forces surveys, review meetings and programme development activities were carried out prior in order to ensure that the Centre had the proper academic foundation. Thus, it was not until 1975 at the Tenth SEAMEC Conference held in Baguio, Philippines, that the Centre - to be based in Phnom Penh - was approved. At first, the Centre focussed its programmes and activities primarily on archaeology, which was viewed as the important key in understanding the history and culture of Southeast Asia. The Centre assisted in ensuring professional competence for those involved in research and the study of archaeology in the 7 SEAMEO member countries, which over the years grew to include more member countries. Due to the Civil War in Cambodia, ARCAFA’s base was moved to Thailand.

  • Proceedings of the Biological Society of Washington 110(4):629-639
    PROCEEDINGS OF THE BIOLOGICAL SOCIETY OF WASHINGTON 110(4):629-639. 1997. A new species of Cyclemys (Testudines: Bataguridae) from Southeast Asia John B. Iverson and William P. McCord (JBI) Department of Biology, Earlham College, Richmond, Indiana 47374, U.S.A.; (WPM) East Fishkill Animal Hospital, Hopewell Junction, New York 12533, U.S.A. Abstract.—A new species of batagurid turtle, Cyclemys atripons, is described from the mountainous areas of southeastern Thailand and adjacent Cambodia. It differs from other Cyclemys (herein all referred to as C. dentata) by the unique combination of a head mottled with black dorsally and striped laterally, a nearly immaculate chin, a distinct carapace pattern, a plastron with no or only a few coarse black rays, a coarsely and densely pigmented bridge, a narrow carapace, a long plastral hindlobe, a wide plastral forelobe, a small gular scute, and a long interhumeral seam length. Discriminant function anal- ysis of 17 morphometric characters standardized for body size supported the distinctiveness of the new species from Cyclemys dentata, and indicated that other populations of this complex (on Borneo and in China) may also be mor- phologically distinct. The genus Cyclemys is currently envi- to Sumatra, Java, Borneo and the Philip- sioned by most authors to comprise two pines (Taylor 1920, Smith 1930, Zhao & species (C. dentata Gray 1831 and C. tche- Adler 1993). ponensis Bourret 1939) with very uncertain In 1939, Bourret recorded C. dentata distributions (Ernst & Barbour 1989, Iver- from Hanoi, Vietnam, but described Geoe- son 1992).
