India Japan Austral! ‘Australia is located at a superficially convenient point in geographical terms and in industrial strength to stress our interest in Asia, and in particular our interest in the two nations at the north-west and north­ east extremities of the arc facing in­ wards to the Asian heartland: India and Japan. Yet there seems no tri­ angular relationship much thought about, let alone practised.’ These words are taken from Sir John Craw­ ford’s foreword to this book, which is the outcome of his suggestion that a conference be sponsored by the Re­ search School of Pacific Studies at the Australian National University in order that these three countries should get to know one another better. The papers and discussions pre­ sented here cover both political and economic questions. They examine the background of bilateral relations between India and Japan, Australia and Japan, and Australia and India; INDIA they discuss the future of Japanese economic involvement in South and Southeast Asia; they discuss India’s economic problems and the extent to which Australia and Japan can help with these; and they consider the JAPAN possibilities of co-operation between the three countries. The book will find readers in the fields of business, education, and government, and should interest all those who are concerned about Aust­ AUSTRAL! ralia’s future relations with Asia.

INDIA, JAPAN, AUSTRALIA Partners in Asia? Papers from a Conference at the Australian National University September 1967 edited by J. D. B.

In specific terms, the idea came to me early in 1965 when I had informal dis­ cussions on Australia’s policies vis-ä-vis Asia with the Secretary of the Prime Minister’s Department in New Delhi. This background had led me to observe that there seemed little connection of significance between India and Japan; rather more between India and Australia; a great deal more between Japan and Australia; and very little of a triangular nature despite some com­ mon interests and concerns in Asia. However, my experience of India and Japan leads me to make the following points. As regards India, my direct knowledge of the country, its geography, people, and culture, was practically nil before 1964. I had worked closely with Indian officials in Commonwealth con­ ferences since 1950, in gatt, and in fao—usually on matters of com­ mon concern for the rest of the world, not so often on matters of bilateral concern. These were sometimes important, however, as, for example, the Australian wheat market in India. In all these dealings I formed great respect for the Indian officials, and also made good friends. Yet throughout the period from 1950 to 1960, I gained no impression of a great force in Asian affairs in general or in Aus­ tralia’s in particular. My experience since 1964 has been somewhat different and rather deeper. I became a principal adviser to the government of India and the World Bank on Indian food and agricultural policy— a role made easier by my friendships formed earlier. Since October 1964 I have seen India at closer quarters (but still, ever so fraction­ ally), and many questions have come to my mind. India’s own crises—with China and Pakistan, and, not least, arising from the great droughts of 1965-7—have on the one hand somewhat weak­ ened her position of influence in the world, and, on the other, shaken for many in India their belief in the wisdom of non-align­ ment, in addition to emphasising the nature and extent of India’s economic dependence on the West and the Soviet bloc. Throughout these crises, democracy has survived. This is a fact of continuing v i FOREWORD importance to the free world of the West. A basis for rising influence in the world seems to be there if only a sustained rate of economic growth can be achieved. It is a testing time for India; to an Australian observer many questions have presented themselves. Will the nature of India’s crises bring her nearer or take her further away from Australia’s view of China and Asia? Can Australia really be significant in India’s economic program? What would India’s economic growth mean for Australia? Some of the questions may seem impertinent: Australia’s population is but a fraction of India’s, yet in total affluence Aus­ tralia’s, by usual measures of gnp, is at least 50 per cent of India’s. Moreover, there are technological areas in which Australia has much to give—and this without offence to India’s own great experience in research in both the agricultural and non-agricultural spheres. Again, both countries are concerned about vast world problems as well as with Asia: do the United Nations and Commonwealth give us sufficient scope for rapport in ideas and action? Finally, Australia is located at a superficially convenient point in geographi­ cal terms and in industrial strength to stress our interest in Asia, and in particular our interest in the two nations at the north-west and north-east extremities of the arc facing inwards to the Asian heartland: India and Japan. Yet there seems no triangular relation­ ship much thought about, let alone practised. Let me turn to the other extremity of the arc, Japan. Before the war my interest in that country was that of a student of Pacific affairs; in the post-war period I was an administrator of much of Australia’s often discriminatory economic relations with Japan, and was principal official negotiator of the Japan-Australia trade treaty in the mid-1950s. I also had considerable contact in g a it . My work was not unconnected with the San Francisco peace treaty, for this gave the Japanese the right to press for the elimination of economic discrimination. I could say much about what has happened since 1957. The dynamism of our economic relations now embraces investment, tourism, and, rather less, cultural exchange, as well as trade.

  • From Asian to Global Financial Crisis
    This page intentionally left blank FROM ASIAN TO GLOBAL FINANCIAL CRISIS This is a unique insider account of the new world of unfettered finance. The author, an Asian regulator, examines how old mindsets, market fundamental- ism, loose monetary policy, carry trade, lax supervision, greed, cronyism, and financial engineering caused both the Asian crisis of the late 1990s and the cur- rent global crisis of 2007–2009. This book shows how the Japanese zero inter- est rate policy to fight deflation helped create the carry trade that generated bubbles in Asia whose effects brought Asian economies down. The study’s main purpose is to demonstrate that global finance is so interlinked and interactive that our current tools and institutional structure to deal with critical episodes are completely outdated. The book explains how current financial policies and regulation failed to deal with a global bubble and makes recommendations on what must change. Andrew Sheng is currently the Chief Adviser to the China Banking Regulatory Commission and a Board Member of the Qatar Financial Centre Regulatory Authority, Khazanah Nasional Berhad and Sime Darby Berhad, Malaysia. He is also Adjunct Professor at the Graduate School of Economics and Management, Tsinghua University, Beijing, and at the Faculty of Economics and Administration at the University of Malaya, Kuala Lumpur.

  • Artstate Day 1 2Nd November 2018
    Artstate Day 1 2nd November 2018 ELIZABETH ROGERS: Good morning everyone and welcome to the first day of this conversation here in Bathurst. I would like to acknowledge we are meeting on Wiradjuri country, and pay my respects to the Elders past, present and emerging, and thank them for the wonderful welcoming ceremony last night. I would also like to acknowledge all the Elders who have travelled from other parts of the state, and all the Aboriginal people who have joined us here today. I would like to acknowledge the Chair of Regional Arts NSW, Stephen Champion; and the Directors of our Board; the chairs and executive directors from the regional arts development organisations that make up our unique regional network, delivering arts and cultural development projects based on the needs of their individual communities. In a world of constant change, that this model, a state and local government partnership, has been stable for nearly 20 years – is a testament to these regional leaders and their boards. In fact, it is exactly 20 years since the centralised Arts Council of NSW was completely reformed to give us the autonomous and independent arts and cultural development bodies we have today. It is a collaborative and collegiate group which reflects the different landscapes in which they work. We could not deliver this event without our principal partner, the NSW Government, with funding through Create NSW and Destination NSW; and I would particularly like to thank Grainne Brunsdon from Create NSW for her support, advice and encouragement during the development of Artstate. Our local government partner, Bathurst Regional Council, and our strategic partner, Charles Sturt University, I thank them all for their support.

  • Other Parts of Asia
    ARNDT’S STORY . 21 OTHER PARTS OF ASIA Despite Heinz’s passion for Indonesia, it would be wrong to categorise him as merely an ‘Indonesianist’. His early Asian engagements, as we have seen, were in Malaya, Singapore and India. For the rest of his life, he retained strong academic connections and friendships in many parts of Asia. (He never went to China or to Africa; and he visited Latin America only fleetingly.) Bangkok especially interested him, largely because of his membership of the Governing Council of the UN Asian Institute for Economic Development and Planning (ADI for short). This institute was financed by contributions from the member countries of the UN Economic Commission for Asia and the Far East (ECAFE), with an annual supplement from the UN Development Program (UNDP). Heinz, under the patronage of Mick Shann, was elected to the council for two terms, from 1969 to 1974. He greatly enjoyed the council’s annual Bangkok meetings. They usually occupied a couple of days, so there was plenty of time to cultivate and nourish friendships, such as with the Indonesians Widjojo and Sumarlin, and Gerry Sicat, an economist from the University of the Philippines in Manila. A social highlight of each meeting was an informal dinner at the house of U Nyun, ECAFE’s Executive Secretary. On these occasions, more serious discussions were punctuated by friendly banter, such as the light-hearted argument about which country produced the finest mangoes. Heinz observed, wryly, that he ‘did not feel called upon to bat for Queensland’. As is often the case with such bodies, the ADI was torn between teaching and research.
