  • 14. Policy Alchemy and the Magical Transformation of Aboriginal Society
    14. Policy Alchemy and the Magical Transformation of Aboriginal Society David F . Martin Anthropos Consulting and The Australian National University Traditional culture has been stultified and degraded so that it has not moved from sorcery to the rule of reason, from polygamy to the equality of women with men and from ‘pay-back’ to the rule of law. — Helen Hughes (2007), Centre for Independent Studies This chapter focuses on an issue to which Nicolas Peterson has directed our attention for nearly two decades (for example, Peterson 1991, 1998, 2005; Peterson and Taylor 2003): that many Aboriginal people, particularly but not only those living in remote regions, bring distinctive repertoires of values, world views and practices to their engagement with the general Australian society that have profound implications for the nature of that engagement. Critical social analysis of the situations of Aboriginal people must never ignore, for example, the historical role of the state; but neither must it avoid the central role of Aboriginal agency. My own research with Wik people living in Aurukun, western Cape York Peninsula (Martin 1993),1 showed how sorcery—or at least, accusations of it—is deeply implicated in the endemic disputation and violence that have become such a dominant feature of contemporary Aurukun life. I argued that Wik retaliation or ‘payback’, whether conducted openly through violence or secretly through sorcery, provides a particular instance of more general principles—those of reciprocity and equivalence—in the transactions of material and symbolic items through which autonomy and relatedness are realised. Like the flows of material goods, the exchanges of retribution serve to structure and reproduce the relationships not only between individuals but between collectivities (such as families).

  • Peter Mccawley, January 2018
    Southeast Asian Studies at ANU – Personal recollection ANU and Asia: A Life between Town and Gown Peter McCawley, January 2018 Beginning Asian Studies It all started in the mid 1960s. I was an economics student at the University of Queensland in Brisbane. In a course on economic development, it soon became clear that there were huge differences in income and wealth between rich and poor countries. Our text was one of the earliest books on economic development, Economic Development: Problems, Principles and Policies, by Benjamin Higgins. Higgins, a Canadian, later settled in Canberra. Towards the end of his life he was active in the National Centre for Development Studies at ANU.1 I was worried by these huge gaps between rich and poor countries. They seemed to me then – as they still seem to me now – a key global issue. Moreover, for many of my generation the North‐South gap in Asia was brought into sharp relief by the war in Vietnam. In Australia, the national involvement in the Vietnam War took hold in 1965. In a dramatic declaration, in May 1965 in Parliament, the parliamentary Labor Party declared itself opposed to the war. The previous year, conscription had been introduced to support the war effort. These events deeply divided Australian society and affected attitudes toward Asia for the next several decades. The war in Vietnam notwithstanding, rapid political and social changes were occurring in Asia in places such as China, South Asia, and Indonesia. In 1965 and 1966, dramatic political events were taking place as Soeharto’s “New Order” government seemed to be succeeding in sidelining Sukarno and introducing a major realignment in the geopolitical balance of power in Southeast Asia.

  • July 2013 Newsletter
    JULY 2013 NEWSLETTER IN Helen Hughes remembered THIS NSW Branch AGM ISSUE LinkedIn NSW Branch Members Group Australian Conference of Economists 7-10 July in Perth Seminar 17th July Dr Peter Abelson, Economics of Local Government Dear members, We begin this newsletter with some sad news. Helen Hughes, AO, Distinguished Fellow of the Economic Society, and an inspiration to many of us, passed away on 15th June. She will be greatly missed. In this newsletter, NSW Branch member, Professor John Lodewijks has provided a brief reflection on this truly remarkable person. Also earlier this month – on 19th June – we held the 2013 annual general meeting (AGM) of the NSW Branch of the Economic Society. At the AGM the office bearers and council members for 2013/14 were appointed. It’s pleasing that we have a healthy mix of returning members and new council members. On behalf of the society I’d like to thank the outgoing Secretary, Ellis Connolly, and council member Isaac Gross who have each done so much for the society over the last few years. There are a few events of note coming up. Early in July (7-10 July), the Economic Society of Australia’s premier event, the Australian Conference of Economists (ACE2013), will be held in Perth. This newsletter contains additional details; better still go to the ACE2013 website (http://www.ace2013.org.au). We’re delighted that the NSW Branch monthly seminar program is kicking off this financial year on 17th July with a talk by Professor Peter Abelson, Mayor of Mosman on the economics of local government.

    Devpolicy Blog from the Development Policy Centre Australian aid | PNG and the Pacific | Global development policy http://www.devpolicy.org Helen Hughes Author : Maree Tait Date : June 19, 2013 Helen came to The Australian National University in 1983, a whirlwind of ideas and action. She was on a mission to create the university’s first graduate school and to anchor it in the economics of development with a primary focus on the Asia Pacific region, and with a strong contingent of overseas students. I met her then. Initially the university was not impressed - not about the idea of a new graduate school, nor about a large number of overseas students. Today the Crawford School of Public Policy at ANU stands as testimony to Helen’s pioneering efforts and her innovative mind. She had a torrid time dealing with the Chancelry. I remember our National Centre for Development Studies Advisory meetings as sweaty affairs. Interestingly, given Helen’s aid fatigue in her later years, the Crawford School today stands as one of the major successes of the Australian aid program. Some 600 students from developing countries are pursuing diploma, master and PhD studies, and the school can count prime ministers, ministers of government, business leaders and many public sector leaders in neighbouring countries as alumni. Nowadays many students pay for their own training, but in the early days they all owed their scholarships to Helen’s successful wooing of the head of AusAID, Bob Dunn. She could get her own way. Helen took her students seriously. ‘If it was not for the students’, she would say when tired by administration.
