REPORT OF THE SCHOOL

The Research School of Pacific and Asian Studies is one of the founding Schools of the Institute of Advanced Studies at The Australian National University. It was created with a vision that recognised the importance of the Asia–Pacific region to the future of Australia. For more than fifty years, the School has sought to fulfil that vision through its efforts to be Australia’s pre- eminent centre for research and advanced academic training on the region. The School’s research focus is on four defined areas of the Asia–Pacific region: Northeast Asia, Southeast Asia, South Asia and the Southwest Pacific. Through its continuing research and training, the School has created and fostered an unparalleled network of academic and research relationships throughout the Asia–Pacific region. The School has one of the largest concentrations of expertise on the Asia–Pacific region in the world. It is administratively organised into four Divisions: 1) Economics, 2) Pacific and Asian History, 3) Politics and International Relations, and 4) Society and Environment, plus a Director’s Section which includes the Strategic and Defence Studies Centre and the Northern Australia Research Unit in Darwin. It supports research in nine major disciplines: Anthropology, Archaeology, Economics, History, Human Geography, International Relations, Linguistics, Political Science and Strategic and Defence Studies. In recent years, it has added to this expertise a focus on the study of Gender Relations, Resource Management, and Governance. Each of these disciplines and areas of study carries out its own research, has its own academic training program and hosts both national and international visitors. To achieve its varied research agenda, the School includes a number of centres, projects, and bureaux, most of which are for administrative purposes attached to particular Divisions. These centres and projects include the Australia South Asia Research Centre, the Contemporary China Centre, the Centre for the Contemporary Pacific, the Centre for the Study of the Chinese Southern Diaspora, the Poverty Research Centre, the Centre for Conflict and Post- Conflict Studies, the Centre for Archaeological Research, the Gender Relations Centre, the Centre for Research on Language Change, the Indonesia Project, the Resource Management in Asia Pacific Project, the State, Society and Governance in Melanesia Project, the Land Management Project, the Thai-Yunnan Project, the Pacific Manuscripts Bureau and the Internet Publications Bureau. In 2003, the decision was taken to establish the Centre for Applied Macroeconomic Analysis as a University Centre based within the Economics Division of the School. This configuration of academic disciplines, centres and projects is intended to promote a range of research that is both disciplinary and interdisciplinary. The School’s various academic areas, including its centres and projects, hold regular seminars for the presentation of on-going scholarly research. In addition, the School hosts numerous conferences and supports several distinguished lecture series as well as ‘Updates’ on countries in the region.

Research Publications

The research achievements of the School are reflected in the number and diversity of the publications of its staff. In 2003, members of the School produced 49 books, 25 edited books, and 149 chapters in books, 218 journal articles, 59 working papers, 11 chapters in conference proceedings, 14 reports, 31 book reviews, 6 forewords, 23 electronic publications and 24 microfilms/CD titles. It is worth citing a few of the important books published during the year to give some idea of the diversity of research within the School. In Economics, Professor Raghbendra Jha published two books, Macroeconomics for Developing Countries and Indian Economic Reforms. In International Relations, Dr Paul Keal published a book of far-reaching importance, European Conquest and the Rights of Indigenous People. Dr Greg Fealy and Dr Ed Aspinall published the latest volume, Local Power and Politics, in what is now a well-established and long-running series of Indonesian Update publications. Dr Greg Fealy’s monograph on Nahdlatul Ulama, originally written as his PhD dissertation, was published in Indonesian translation as Ijtihad Politik Ulama: Sejarah Nahdlatul Ulama, 1952–1967. In Anthropology, Dr Andrew McWilliam published an ethnographic monograph on the majority population of West Timor, Paths of Origin: Gates of Life, A Study of Place and Precedence in Southwest Timor, based on well over a decade of basic research. In Linguistics, Professors Malcolm Ross and Andrew Pawley with Ms Meredith Osmond published the 2nd of a five volume series on the Lexicon of Proto-Oceanic, focusing on the Physical Environment of the early Austronesians. Emeritus Professor Jack Golson was honoured by a special publication, Perspectives on Prehistoric Agriculture in the New Guinea Highlands, which appeared as an issue of the journal, Archaeology in Oceania. Among the publications that are a direct reflection on the research efforts of RSPAS are the dissertations written by graduate students in the School that have appeared as books. For 2003, for example, Dr In-Won Hwang published Personalized Politics: The Malaysian State under Mahathir and Dr Jun Honna published Military Politics and Democratization in Indonesia. Members of the School were also involved in the making of important documentary films: Professor Geremie Barmé’s Morning Sun is a stunning study of the Chinese cultural revolution while Dr John Darling produced an extraordinarily moving and timely film, The Healing of Bali, on the aftermath of the Bali bombings, which was screened by SBS Television. The School publishes five international journals: 1) The Bulletin of Indonesian Economic Studies, 2) The Journal of Pacific History, 3) The China Journal, 4) East Asian History and 5) The Asia Pacific Journal of Anthropology. The Journal Citation Reports for 2003 ranked The China Journal as No. 3 in the world for impact among all area studies journals and No. 2 in terms of its immediacy factor — how quickly articles get cited in other journals. The Linguistics Department in the School publishes Pacific Linguistics, which is the largest publication series of its kind on the languages of the Asia–Pacific region; Archaeology and Natural History publishes the series, Terra Australis, and the International Relations Department published Keynotes, a series of papers on contemporary issues. Professor Pranab K Bardhan from the University of California, Berkeley presented the 2003 K R Narayanan Oration entitled ‘Political-Economy and Governance Issues in the Indian

Staff, Students and Visitors

By the end of the year, the School had 100 full-time academic staff including staff on outside funding. This increase from 70 academic staff in 1998 has been part of a process of planned renewal within the School. The School made 18 new academic appointments in 2003. Ten of these appointments were offered to women. Of the new offers, 12 were taken up in 2003. In addition, six academics who had been offered appointments in 2002 took up their positions. At this stage, there are no plans for a further expansion of staff numbers. The School hosted 167 Visiting Fellows and Department Visitors. Visitors are an essential component of the School and provide a considerable enhancement to the School’s research. However, with an increase in the number of full-time staff and a substantial increase in the number of PhD students, the School has had to put forward a revised policy limiting the office space allocated to visitors within the Coombs Building. An administrative review in 2002 led to a formal separation of RSPAS from RSSS. A period of adjustment was needed in 2003 to develop effective new working relations. The development

Research School of Pacific and Asian Studies, 2003 Annual Report 5

Research School of Pacific and Asian Studies

of these new working arrangements was one of the achievements of 2003. By the end of the year, the School’s general staff included 71 full-time positions and 37 part-time positions. The School has continued to increase the number of its enrolments at both the PhD and MA level. In December 2003, 138 students were enrolled for the PhD (compared with 110 PhD students in December 2002). Another 28 PhD students were on extended time to submit. The requirement for most PhD students of at least one year of fieldwork in the region makes it difficult for many students to complete their PhD within four years. Nevertheless during the year, 26 students completed their PhD theses and were awarded their degrees and another 18 PhDs were under examination. The Graduate Studies in International Affairs Program (GSIA) attracted a highly qualified group of applicants to each of its constituent degree and award programs (Bridging Program, Graduate Diploma, Masters in International Relations, and Masters in International Affairs). Total student numbers increased by 51% to 123 (67 EFTSUs) over 2002 figures (81). Mid-year entry to the program continued to be popular providing 13 of the 63 ‘new student’ intake in 2003. The class was drawn from Australia, Canada, Fiji, Indonesia, Japan, New Zealand, Singapore, Slovak Republic, Taiwan, Tanzania, United Kingdom, United States of America, and Zimbabwe. The 2003 class included 14 from Indonesia (11 of whom were graduate trainees from the Indonesian Ministry of Foreign Affairs). In 2003, the GSIA established a partnership with the International Peace Research Institute in Oslo to provide a specialisation in Peace and Conflict Studies within the GSIA program, part of which is delivered in Norway (beginning in August 2004). The Graduate Studies in Strategy and Defence (GSSD) Program, which is only in its second year, enrolled 90 students in Canberra and in its partner locations. A key feature of this Program is its combination of national and international nodes. Currently the Program has four partner institutions: in Perth with Curtin University, in Melbourne with Monash University, in Taipei with National Chengchi University and in Tokyo with United Nations University. Students enrolled with the GSSD program take specialised elective courses with partner institutions. The result is a regional network for strategic studies training centred on the ANU. Discussions are underway to extend this network to Washington, D C, London and Bangkok. The School began a new program of Graduate Studies in Sustainable Heritage Development (GSSHD) that will focus on the preservation of tangible and non-tangible heritage in the Asia–Pacific region and will pioneer the provision of its training in the region via the Internet. The GSSHD program conducted its first training module in Vietnam toward the end of 2003. The School has had a long-standing policy of attracting outstanding students from the Asia–Pacific region to do PhD research. The result of this policy is an enhanced graduate student cohort with benefits for both domestic and international students. This policy also forms the basis for the School’s extensive research network throughout the region. Unfortunately there are far too few scholarships for students from the region. Therefore to maintain the quality of its PhD program, the School must commit a portion of its scholarship funds not just for domestic students, but to recruit outstanding foreign students. In times of financial stringency, this is a difficult policy to maintain. Much effort was spent during the year in devising budgetary mechanisms for funding overseas students.

Promotions, Honours, Awards and Retirements

In 2003, Christian Reus-Smit and Malcolm Ross were promoted to Professor (Level E), Colin Filer to Senior Fellow (Level D) and Andrew McWilliam, Heather Rae, Philip Taylor and Andrew Walker to Fellow (Level C). Twenty-one members of the School were awarded Centenary Medals. Nine of these awards were in Pacific and Asian History: Geremie Barmé, Donald Denoon, Igor de Rachewiltz, Christine Dobbin, Anthony Johns, Brij Lal, Gavan McCormack, David Marr and Lo Hui-min. Six were in Archaeology and Natural History: Atholl Anderson, Peter Bellwood, and Matthew Spriggs, Jack Golson, Alan Thorne and Alan Watchman. Two were in Economics: Ross Garnaut and Warwick McKibbin; two were in Linguistics: Andrew Pawley and Malcolm Ross; one in Political and Social Change: Ben Kerkvliet; and Anthony Low, a former Director, who is now a Visiting Fellow in the School. Professor Jonathan Unger was elected a Fellow of the Australian Academy of the Humanities. David Marr retired after twenty-eight years in the School. His research on Vietnamese history has put him at the forefront of his profession and his supervision of graduate students over many years has created a new generation of scholars with continuing interests in Vietnam. In retirement, he will take up a position as Emeritus Professor and remain a member of the School. Under the School support scheme for Emeritus Professors, David will be provided research funding to assist him in his work for the next three years.

Funding for the School

In 2003, members of the School were successful in obtaining 39 new grants and 15 consultancies that contributed $6.07 million to the School. Grants comprised the major part of this external funding ($5.54 million) while consultancies provided a lesser share ($532,000). Just over $4 million of these funds came from ARC grants: 13 Discovery grants, four Linkage Project grants, one Linkage International Fellowship and two Network Seed Funding grants for research projects beginning in 2004. In addition, RSPAS, on behalf of the ANU, received $3.25 million from DEST under the Major National Research Facilities program for the establishment of the Arafura Timor Research Facility at the North Australia Research Unit (NARU) in Darwin. In this program, the ANU is a joint partner with the Australian Institute of Marine Science (AIMS). The building of the new research facility will be carried to completion in 2004. As a result of the entry into the National system, the School has developed new policies and procedures for the allocation of its budget. The School has an agreed-upon formula for the allocation of block-grant funding among its Divisions and Centres and combines this historical allocation with a performance-based allocation of all new DEST funding. These policies provide continuity and relative autonomy to units within RSPAS with possibilities for growth based on performance.

Research School of Pacific and Asian Studies

The School ended the year with a surplus, much of which was held by its Divisions and Centres as part of their approved future commitments. Some of the surplus will be used early in 2004 to fit out the new Coombs Building extension and in relocating teaching areas to the extension. A portion of this surplus will also be required to meet the shortfall in funding due to salary increases, increases in running costs, pre-retirement contracts and other contractual arrangements. The School’s ledger includes funds allocated for the new Asia–Pacific College of Diplomacy, the Arafura Timor Research Facility and the National Institute for Asia and the Pacific.

Current Developments within the School

The School has been able to develop — and indeed expand — its activities in a responsible fashion during a period of uncertain transition. It has had to expand its efforts to secure new and more diverse sources of funding. At the same time, in response to changes within the Asia–Pacific region that is the focus of its research, the School has had to retain a flexibility to be able to refocus its research where necessary. The School’s response to developments in the Pacific during 2003 is a good example of the capacity of the School to provide a clear focus on new developments in the region. A major strain facing the School is a lack of space. An extension to the Coombs Building is nearing completion and will be available for occupancy in April 2004. This extension will provide valuable teaching space for the School’s Graduate Programs in International Relations and Strategic and Defence Studies. Through an exchange of office space with RSSS, it will also allow the Strategic and Defence Studies Centre to reoccupy rooms in the Coombs Building. In effect, therefore, because of an agreement to share space with the new Asia–Pacific College of Diplomacy, RSPAS will gain only six new offices in the new extension. For several years now, the School has been expanding its staff and student numbers. It has drastically reduced the space it is able to offer to visitors and has had to crowd more PhD graduate students into shared rooms within the School. The School is expecting to enrol at least another 45 PhD students for 2004. To meet present needs, the School will have no choice but to seek additional office space outside of the Coombs Building to accommodate its new intake of students.

Involvement with the National Institutes

Most members of the School have chosen to join several National Institutes. The most important of these National Institutes for the School as a whole has been the National Institute for Asia and the Pacific. The Director of RSPAS is Co-Convenor of this Institute and members of the School have played an active role within it. One of the major activities planned during the course of 2003, but held in the first week of February 2004, was the ‘Asia–Pacific Week/Summer School’. This inaugural event involved 164 student participants (from Australia, New Zealand, Asia, Europe and North America) and 83

8 Research School of Pacific and Asian Studies, 2003 Annual Report Research School of Pacific and Asian Studies

academics divided among seven programs focusing on Vietnam, Korea, China, Indonesia, Thailand, the Pacific and on Sustainable Heritage Development in the Asia–Pacific region. The hope is that this event will become a regular feature of the academic calendar and will grow to become comparable with Science Week.

Transitions

2003 saw the deaths of two colleagues of long-standing in the School: Peter Grimshaw on the 2nd of March and Robert Langdon on the 27th of September. Peter Grimshaw was the University’s longest serving Business Manager. In 1964, he took up the position of Business Manager for the Joint Schools (RSPAS and RSSS) and held this position until 1993. Thereafter he continued as Business Manager of RSPAS until his retirement in 1997. Mr Grimshaw believed strongly in the importance of service to the university and to the general public. He was president of the National Tertiary Education Industry Union (NTEU) ANU General Staff Section and president of the ANU Administrative and Allied Officers Association. He also served as a director of the University Co-op Credit Society and as a director of its successor institution, the Credit Union of Canberra as well as chair of the ACT Credit Union Association. Before his retirement, he contributed generously to the establishment of the Grimshaw Fund for the purchase of artwork for the School. This fund has been used to acquire the outstanding work of graduates from the Canberra School of Art whose creations, in any medium, express an Asian or Pacific theme. After his retirement, Mr Gimshaw became a Visiting Fellow in the Division of Pacific and Asian History. Based on his own considerable knowledge of Papua New Guinea where his father had served for many years as Police Commissioner, Mr Grimshaw used his time to produce a book, Policing in Paradise: A History of the Royal Papua New Guinea Constabulary 1890–1975. Robert Langdon was a well-known Pacific scholar. His association with the ANU began in 1968, when he was appointed foundation Executive Officer of the Pacific Manuscripts Bureau in RSPAS. He occupied this position until his retirement in 1984, by which time the Bureau had produced about 2,100 rolls of microfilm of Pacific Islands manuscripts, archives and rare printed material. From the time of his retirement until his death, Langdon was a Visiting Fellow in Pacific History. He was the author of a number of books on Pacific history and a member of the editorial board of the Journal of Pacific History. In 1981 he was awarded the Cruz de Caballero de la Ordén de Isabela la Católica by the Spanish government, and in 1987 he was awarded an MA (honoris causa) by the ANU in recognition of his contribution to Pacific history.

Future Directions

RSPAS is in its final year of transition to the national competitive system of funding. Its strategy is to make this transition successful. It will endeavour to maintain its excellent record in applications for ARC funding. It will continue to be actively involved in the activities of the National Institute for Asia and the Pacific and to work closely with other parts of the University

Research School of Pacific and Asian Studies, 2003 Annual Report 9

Research School of Pacific and Asian Studies

that focus on the region. It will continue to promote the Asia–Pacific Week/Summer School in the coming year and to work to establish, in cooperation with the Faculty of Arts, a program of Pacific studies to match those on the Asian region. The School will continue to attract outstanding graduate students at all levels and expects to remain a pioneer in new technologies for teaching and research via the Internet. In terms of its long-term planning, the School hopes to be able to develop further substantial expertise on South Asia and to conduct more research on Myanmar. Appointments in 2003 added to the School’s expertise on South Asia, and the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding with Yangon University opened the possibilities of new research. These are encouraging steps in the right direction.

Director’s Research

Responsibilities as Director in 2003 provided me with less time than I would have liked to carry forward my continuing research on Indonesia and East Timor. The year did see the publication by ACIAR of a book on Timorese agriculture, Agriculture: New Directions for a New Nation, East Timor (Timor-Leste), that I had been working on with Dr Colin Piggin and Dr Helder da Costa. It also saw the re-publication as an ANU E Press volume of an earlier book on East Timor, Out of the Ashes: Destruction and Reconstruction of East Timor that I had edited with Dionisio Babo Soares. And after a long wait, colleagues at The SMERU Research Institute in Jakarta with whom I have collaborated produced our joint report on recent developments in agriculture in Jombang, East Java. This publication represents some continuity. I began the study of agriculture in Jombang in the early 1980s and have managed to follow developments there for the past two decades. During the second half of the year, I was involved with Dr Tom Therik and Dr Andrew McWilliam in an Environment Australia project to establish alternative livelihoods for local fisher families on the island of Roti in eastern Indonesia. We were able to support over 115 families to take up the cultivation of seaweed. Three PhD students whose theses I supervised submitted their dissertations during the year. Dionisio Babo Soares with whom I have collaborated on various projects submitted his thesis on East Timor, Branching from the Trunk: East Timorese Perceptions of Nationalism in Transition; Mei Hui-Yu submitted a thesis, Seating the Gods, Celebrating the Spirits: Locality, Ritual Practice and Social Memory in a Taiwanese Community, which is a remarkable study of the temples of An-Ping, one of the oldest continuing settlements in Taiwan; and Tommy Christomy submitted his thesis, Signs of the Wali: Narratives at the Sacred Sites of Pamijahan, West Java, which is a study of one of the oldest and most important ziarah sites in Java. During the year, I travelled in the region as well as to Europe and the United States. At the end of January, I made a brief trip to Indonesia and then went on to Yangon in Myanmar where I was joined by Drs Nick Tapp, Alan Thorne and Andrew Walker as guest of the Department of Education. We spent nearly a week visiting colleagues at the University of Yangon and at other institutions of higher learning in and around Yangon. We met the Minister for Education and we were all invited to give formal lectures at the University. Our principal goal was to establish a Memorandum of Understanding between the University of Yangon and the ANU. Eventually,

Estanislau A. da Silva, Minister of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries in East Timor with Professor James J Fox in May, the document was officially signed and the doors were opened for possible research cooperation. I travelled to Singapore to attend the official opening on the 12th of March of the Asia Research Institute headed by Professor Anthony Reid at the National University of Singapore and to participate in the Roundtable on ‘Research Priorities for Asia’ on the following day. In the early part of June, I travelled to Jakarta, this time to give the keynote address on ‘Cultural Diversity in Southeast Asia’ at a conference on Multicultural Education at the University of Indonesia and, at the end of June, I travelled to Dili to present a paper on ‘Traditional Justice and the Court System of the Island of Roti’ at a conference on Conflict Resolution and Traditional Justice sponsored by the Asia Foundation. I travelled again to Singapore to attend the Third International Convention of Asia Scholars from the 19th to 22nd of August and to Bali for the 2nd meeting of the Arafura and Timor Seas Experts Forum on the 18th and 19th of October. In September, I was invited to chair a review of the Center for Non-Western Studies (CNWS) at the University of Leiden. The CNWS is also known as the Research School for Asian, African, and Amerindian Studies and is the major concentration of its kind in the Netherlands. It has an unusual organisation comprising 14 separate research ‘clusters’ not just at the University of Leiden but also at the Universities of Amsterdam, Utrecht and Nijmegen. Although the visit to Leiden was for a single week, it took until almost the end of October to complete the Report.

Research School of Pacific and Asian Studies, 2003 Annual Report 11

Research School of Pacific and Asian Studies

Finally in November, I travelled to Hawai’i to attend a three-day workshop on East Timor sponsored by the Center for Southeast Asian Studies at the University of Hawai’i at which I opened the discussion on issues facing East Timor. In Canberra, I presented a paper, ‘The Influence of Indian Trade Cloth on Rotinese Textile Design’ at the National Gallery of Australia’s International Conference held from the 11th to the 13th of July in association with the exhibition, Sari to Sarong: Five Hundred Years of Indian and Indonesian Textile Exchange. I also gave a short talk at an East Timor Policy Update organised by the Strategy Policy Group in the Department of Defence on the 4th of December. Certainly it was a good year for the School and an interesting and challenging one for its Director. As Director, I want to thank all members of the School for their support and collegiality. As I have remarked repeatedly, the strength of the School is its intellectual diversity and its openness and willingness to explore new ideas and new directions. I would also like to thank the Deputy Director, Darrell Tryon, who has served as Prescribed Authority and as Convenor of the Division of Society and Environment. I also extend my thanks to the Convenors of the other Divisions, to the Heads of Departments and Centres and to their Administrators, to Katy Gillette as Manager (“M”), and to Sue Lawrence, Margueritte Conagahan, Gabrielle Cameron, Michelle Mousdale, Lyle Hebb, Ian Templeman, Judith Pabian, Birgit Flatow and Ann Andrews, all of whom contributed enormously to the operation of the School. Indeed I would like to thank all of the staff in the School for their efforts and commitment. Finally, I want to thank Linda Poskitt who managed the Director’s office during the first half of the year and Pam Wesley-Smith who took up the position in the second half of the year and succeeded in managing both the Director and his office brilliantly.

PACIFIC MANUSCRIPTS BUREAU

The Pacific Manuscripts Bureau was established in 1968 to identify and help preserve archives, manuscripts and rare printed documents relating to the Pacific Islands. The Bureau is keen to film at-risk contemporary and indigenous material documenting the cultural and political aspirations of the independent island states, particularly material relating to recent economic and political issues affecting the islands. Climactic conditions, coupled with the region’s relatively small archival infrastructure mean that documents which exist today may not exist in five or ten years time. The Bureau is funded by a consortium of eight major Pacific research libraries in Australia, New Zealand and the United States, and is chaired by Professor Brij V Lal. It is one of the very few long-term archival projects in the world based on international cooperation. To date the Bureau has produced more than 3000 reels of 35mm microfilm, together with associated bibliographic documentation and indexes. Sets of the microfilms are lodged in each of the Bureau’s member libraries and copies of most of them are available for purchase. In 2003 the PMB Management Committee met in Wellington in July and held its first teleconference in Canberra in December. An agreed increase in the annual subscription rate will improve the Bureau’s funding situation. Sales of PMB microfilms have been moderate. In January 96 rolls of 35mm microfilm were distributed to each of the PMB member libraries, and a further 97 rolls were despatched in December. Overseas projects have proceeded at a slower pace than usual, with only two field trips undertaken this year. In Honolulu the Bureau microfilmed the Micronesian Collection of the Hawaiian Mission Children’s Society. Fr Francis Hezel’s papers on the history of Catholic missions in Micronesia were microfilmed at the Micronesian Seminar in Pohnpei, FSM. The archives of Greenpeace New Zealand were surveyed and rare Pacific scientific serials were located in the Mt Albert Research Library of Hort Research Ltd in Auckland. Several field trips were made to Sydney to microfilm documents in the Hallstrom Pacific Collection at the University of NSW Library, the Centre for the Study of Australian Christianity, the Mitchell Library and those in private hands. One trip was made to Brisbane to microfilm Bougainville plantation records in private hands and rare copies of the Solomon Islands Agricultural Gazette in the Queensland Herbarium Library. Further Pacific scientific serials were microfilmed at the CSIRO Black Mountain Library in Canberra. The Bureau continued to microfilm the extensive series of correspondence files of the Pacific Phosphate Co Ltd and its predecessors on loan from the National Archives of Australia. Documents collected by Jack Golson on the development of cultural policy in PNG were transferred to the Bureau from the South Australian Museum for microfilming. Papers of the Indo–Fijian politician, Jai Ram Reddy, and two ex-PNG Patrol Officers, Gavin Carter and Norman Wilson, were transferred to the Bureau for arrangement, description and microfilming. The Bureau also worked on the arrangement, disposition and, in some cases, microfilming of the research papers of Rev. Neville Threlfall, Richard Thurnwald, Don Laycock, Robert Langdon, Dorothy Shineberg, James Jupp, Robert Norton and Jo Herlihy.

STRATEGIC AND DEFENCE STUDIES CENTRE

The Strategic and Defence Studies Centre (SDSC) continued its pattern of increased activity and expansion during 2003. The troubled international security environment, the continuing war on terror and the military campaign in Iraq drew all senior members of the Centre into the provision of extensive media commentary. Immediately prior to, and during, the military operations in Iraq media briefings were held every morning, seven days a week, and Centre staff members led much of the informed debate. Later in the year when tensions rose on the Korean Peninsula, formal briefing was again delivered to senior media representatives. SDSC’s research programs continued in a broad range of fields during the year. The School’s companion volume to this Report, the RSPAS Directory of Research 2004, provides profiles of all Centre staff, including their individual research interests. In addition, staff members’ research collaborations, conference attendance, and interactions with other institions and government are made available on the RSPAS web site at 2003 also saw a significant growth with seven PhD scholars joining the Centre. The research topics of these scholars are listed in a later section of the Centre’s report. During the year the Australian Department of Defence awarded Sir Arthur Tange Scholarships to two scholars, and provided research funding for Professor David Horner and Postdoctoral Fellow, Dr Brendan Taylor. As more than 60 students were enrolled in the Faculty of Asian Studies for the second year undergraduate major, Strategic and Security Studies: the Asian Region , the decision was made to strengthen the options for these undergraduates by offering a complete degree, the Bachelor of Strategic Analysis (Asian Studies), from 2004. SDSC provides the executive office of the Australian member committee of the Council for Security Cooperation in the Asia Pacific (CSCAP), which is the premier ‘second track’

organisation in the Asia–Pacific region. In March, the Minister for Foreign Affairs, Alexander Downer, announced a ‘counter-terrorism package’, in which he stated that he was ‘working closely’ with Australian CSCAP committee ‘on arrangements for a new regional conference on security issues, including the nature of the terrorist threat facing the region and how best regional governments can respond’. The first conference in this project, which required extensive SDSC planning and involved some 250 participants including Ministers, heads of Foreign and Defence Ministries, and heads of all the strategic studies centers in the region, was held in Jakarta from 6–9 December. The year saw several prominent personalities join the Centre in a part-time capacity as Visiting Fellows. Amongst these was Admiral Chris Barrie (former Chief of the Australian Defence Force), Dr Richard Brabin-Smith (former Australian Chief Defence Scientist and Deputy Secretary Strategy in the Department of Defence) and Dr Bilveer Singh, from the National University of Singapore. Research highlights • a significant rise in the number of the Centre’s publications were produced • a marked expansion of study and research activity by a new generation of strategic thinkers • strong growth in the public’s use of the Centre’s web sites POSTGRADUATE EDUCATION AND RESEARCH

The Division of Economics is concerned with the theoretical and applied problems of economic development and international economics, with special reference to the countries of Northeast Asia, Southeast Asia, South Asia and the Southwest Pacific. The interests of the Division include the economic relations of these countries with Australia. Within the broad context of economic development, the Division currently has active interests in the analysis of macroeconomic stability, agriculture, industrialisation, poverty, the role of the state, the environment and international trade and investment. The Division is recognised as the leading centre outside Indonesia for research on the Indonesian economy, and publishes the Bulletin of Indonesian Economic Studies, an internationally recognised journal. Six programs are the focus of the Division’s research: the Southeast Asia Economy Program, which includes the Indonesia Project; the China Business Economy Program (jointly with the Asian Pacific School of Economics and Government [APSEG]); Japan (in collaboration with the Australia–Japan Research Centre, APSEG); the Korea Economy Program; the Australia South Asia Research Centre; and the Poverty Research Centre. As their names imply, the first five of these programs are focused on particular countries, or groups of countries in the Asia–Pacific region. In contrast, the Poverty Research Centre has been established to study across all countries in the region, the extent of poverty, its causes and the efficacy of possible ways of alleviating it. Full-time research is carried out by tenured and non-tenured members of staff and graduate students. In 2003, members of the Division undertook research focused on particular countries as well as broad systemic issues such as: macroeconomic instability and problems of financial contagion; the development of mechanisms to reduce the likelihood of economic crises such as the Asian crisis of 1997/98; the role and consequences of foreign direct investment; the longer- run development and transition to market-based economies of the communist and former communist countries in the region; regional trade and investment policy, including the approach of bilateral versus multilateral trading arrangements; the regional and global impacts of China’s emergence into the global economy; global and regional currency arrangements and regional monetary reform; causes of poverty and policies for alleviation, environmental policy particularly related to deforestation, water quality, air quality and climate change; and the impact of demographic change. The Division is fortunate to have Professor Jong Wha Lee of Korea University, Professor Hadi Soesatro of CSIS in Indonesia and Professor David Vines of Oxford University as Adjunct Professors. There is also an extensive program of visitors from all parts of the world. Overall, 2003 was a very successful year for the Division academically, and staff members were awarded a number of grants and consultancies. Our PhD scholars program was expanded and a group of 23 PhD scholars are working now across a wide range of topics. Members of the Division made significant contributions to academic and policy debates in the region and

globally, and produced a wide range of technical and applied research for publication in leading academic journals and books with leading publishers. They also participated in the public debate through editorial articles in major newspapers and radio and television interviews. In addition, many staff members accepted advisory roles to governments in countries throughout the region. More information on the extra curricular commitments of the Division’s staff and students may be found on the RSPAS web site under the heading ‘Collaborations and Outreach’. Prizes, honours and awards • Mr Archunan Kophaiboon shared the award for the best student paper in International Economics at the PhD Conference for Business Economics in Perth.

THE AUSTRALIA SOUTH ASIA RESEARCH CENTRE

The Australia South Asia Research Centre (ASARC) is at the forefront of research into south Asian economies in the Australia–New Zealand region. The Centre continued its research on poverty-nutrition traps in India and produced six working papers. This project is funded by the Department of International Development in the United Kingdom. The Centre also augmented its economic database relating to the south Asian economies and had contact at high official levels with the governments of India, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh. Research support was provided to a United Nations Development Program funded project on global public goods, and ASARC was involved with a World Bank project on the possibility of attaining Millennium Development Goals in India. The MacArthur Foundation continues to aid the research of the Centre on global environmental institutions and has extended its grant for another year. ASARC’s network of economists in the Australia–New Zealand region working on south Asian economies produced seven working papers, bringing their total to thirty-two (see http://rspas.anu.edu.au/economics/asarc/). Dr Prasanna Gai, a Fellow in the Division of Economics, RSPAS, has been selected as the 2003 Rajiv Gandhi Fellow and will spend three months at the Rajiv Gandhi Institute for Contemporary Studies (RGICS), New Delhi. This arrangement reciprocates the visit to ASARC by a Fellow of the RGICS in 2002. Research highlights • Professor Pranab Bardhan, University of California at Berkeley, presented the 2003 K R Narayanan Oration titled ‘Political economy and governance issues in Indian economic reforms’. As with previous years, this year’s oration is available from the RSPAS Bookshop. • The Centre organised and presented an Indian Economy Update Seminar on ‘Business Prospects in India: Culture, Society and Economy’, bringing together participants from business, academia and government in August.

INDONESIA PROJECT

The Project continued to focus on its three core activities during 2003: The Bulletin of Indonesian Economic Studies (BIES), the annual Indonesia Update Conference and Assessment book based on the conference, and our regular seminar series, the Indonesia Study Group. In addition, we hosted a range of visitors from elsewhere in Australia, Indonesia and other countries, arranged special workshops and conferences on topical issues in Indonesian development, and organised book launchings and new publishing arrangements. The BIES monitored the economic policy challenges and performance of the Megawati government and published articles on a wide range of topics including decentralisation, governance and corruption, banking and finance, and labour and poverty. The 2003 Indonesia Update, entitled ‘Business in the Reformasi era’, once again was attended by a large audience of over 300, involved several excellent presentations and vigorous

discussion through to the second day. As with previous Indonesia Updates, the papers were prepared for co-publication with the Institute of Southeast Asian Studies (ISEAS) in Singapore. The papers from the 2002 Update were edited by Drs Greg Fealy and Ed Aspinall and published in May under the title Local Power and Politics, which resulted in especially strong sales. A very successful seminar and book launching in Jakarta commemorated the event in the same month.

Emeritus Professor Jamie Mackie cuts the cake celebrating the 21st Indonesia Update.

THE POVERTY RESEARCH CENTRE

The Poverty Research Centre was established in 2001 within the Division of Economics. Its aim is to promote high quality research on the measurement of poverty, its social and economic causes, and the way in which policy interventions, demographic change, technological developments and changes in the external environment interact, directly and indirectly, with domestic institutions to influence the incidence of poverty. The research involves scholars from fields including economics, demography, anthropology and political science. During 2003 Professor Peter Warr advised the National Economic and Social Development Board in Thailand on its poverty reduction strategy and undertook research on the economics of poverty reduction in Thailand. He also acted as a resource person for the Global Development Network’s project on understanding reform. Professor Warr and Dr John Maxwell also undertook separate studies for the Asian Development Bank Institute on poverty targeting in Thailand and Indonesia respectively.

Copies are available on request. 46 Research School of Pacific and Asian Studies, 2003 Annual Report DIVISION OF PACIFIC AND ASIAN HISTORY

The Division of Pacific and Asian History’s main research areas are the history of Southeast Asia, China, Japan, Korea, Papua New Guinea, and the Southwest Pacific. Members of the Division engage with the major forces of long-term political, social and economic change in the region. The key research themes of the Division focus around issues of environmental change, resource depletion, ethnic and national identities, intellectual history, and political and constitutional developments in the region. Regional events have a high profile in the Australian and international media, and over the years historians working in the Division have played a key roles as public commentators and experts on contemporary affairs. During the past year, members of the Division commented in print and on television on the tumultuous events in the Pacific (Fiji, the Solomon Islands, Papua New Guinea and Vanuatu) and Southeast Asia (East Timor, Indonesia). Several of them also provided expert advice to Australian government departments responsible for formulating policy on the region. Their work emphasises yet again the importance of an in-depth historical perspective as well as cultural and linguistic competence in understanding the underlying issues of current events. In addition to maintaining a sustained profile of research, publishing and supervision of graduate students, members of the Division also engaged in consultancies and community services, providing expert commentary on issues of regional concern. Regularly, they are invited to make presentations to international conferences on the Asia–Pacific region, and these details are listed under the heading Collaborations and Outreach on the RSPAS web site. Two appointments to the Division were made during the year. Dr Robert Cribb joined us from the University of Queensland as a Senior Fellow working on national identity, political violence, environmental politics and historical geography of Indonesia. Dr Cribb is coordinating the Asian Studies Association of Australia’s 2004 conference. Professor Kenneth Wells was promoted to Professor in a joint appointment with the Faculty of Asian Studies to the Chair of Korean History. He is working on gender movements; the relation between religion, nationalism and social change in modern Korea; and the history of a family whose story reflects the impact of major global developments on 20th century Korean society. The Division farewelled a longstanding staff member, Professor David Marr, who retired at the end of the year. Professor Marr has been with the Division for twenty-eight years, and is widely considered one of the world’s leading historians of Vietnam. His book, Vietnam 1945: the quest for power, was awarded the John King Fairbank Prize in recognition of its seminal contribution to Vietnamese history. In addition to his own scholarship, Professor Marr supervised graduate students who themselves have emerged as leading scholars in their own right. In 2003, Professor Marr served as the Deputy Convenor of the Division.

Research School of Pacific and Asian Studies, 2003 Annual Report 47

The Division lost two distinguished colleagues with the death in March of Mr Peter Grimshaw, and in September of Mr Robert Langdon. Mr Grimshaw was the Business Manager of the School for 34 years before he retired to the Division to work on his long-delayed manuscript on the history of the police force in Papua New Guinea in which he himself had served. Mr Langdon was the founding Executive Officer of the Pacific Manuscripts Bureau for whose tremendous success he deserves full credit. After retiring from that post, Mr Langdon became a Visiting Fellow in the Division where he continued his research in Pacific history and served on the Editorial Board of the Journal of Pacific History. Members of the Division were successful in gaining a number of grants to the value of $684,343 to fund new academic research projects. Recipients are listed later in this report under the heading ‘Prizes, honours and awards’. Along with a number of international visiting fellows from Japan, New Zealand, New Caledonia, Samoa, Port Moresby and the United States, the Division hosted scholars through University affiliated exchange agreements. Two PhD scholars on Luce Foundation Fellowships, Ms Tracy Barrett of Cornell University, who is working on the overseas Chinese communities in Vietnam, joined us in October for six months, and Ms Lorraine Paterson of Yale University, joined us in mid-November for seven months to work on Chinese influence on early 20th century Vietnamese intellectual history. We also welcomed two Summer Scholars, Ms Diana Adis of University of New South Wales, whose topic concerns expressions of love, sex and intimacy within a Japanese cultural context, and Ms Hannah Scott of University of Canterbury, New Zealand, working on ethnic conflict and reconciliation in the South Pacific. At the end of the year, the Division had 29 PhD scholars, including six from Asia and the Island Pacific, two from Europe and two from the United States of America. Ten scholars had degrees conferred and eight submitted their PhD theses during the year. The Division maintains close links with the State, Society and Governance in Melanesia Project (SSGM), particularly through the work of Dr Bronwen Douglas and Mr David Hegarty (see Non-Divisional Groups), and the Centre for the Contemporary Pacific (CCP) through the work of Professor Hank Nelson and Mr Hegarty, and the Centre for the Study of the Chinese Southern Diaspora. Research highlights • The documentary, Morning Sun, co-produced, directed and written by Professor Geremie R Barmé, was premiered at the Berlin International Film Festival in February, and at the Institute of Contemporary Art on the Mall, London, in August. The US theatrical release at the Film Forum Theatre, Greenwich Village and New York was in October, and at the Museum of Fine Arts Film Theatre, Boston, in October. The film received plaudits from reviewers writing for The New York Times, The Boston Globe, The Village Voice, Salon.com, Sight and Sound, Time Out (New York), and received extensive coverage on US public TV and radio. • ‘Yin & Yang: Between and Betwixt’, an exhibition forming part of the Fusion Exhibition Conference run by the Cross Cultural Research Centre, ANU, with assistance from the Division.

CENTRE FOR THE CONTEMPORARY PACIFIC

Mr David Hegarty succeeded Professor Brij V Lal as the Centre’s Executive Director early in 2003. In March and April the incoming Executive Director, together with Dr Ron May (Political and Social Change) and Dr Michael Bourke (Land Management Group), undertook a fact-finding mission of universities and colleges in Papua New Guinea and Solomon Islands with a view to strengthening the ANU’s contacts with and assistance for teaching and research in those institutions. While in Solomon Islands, Mr Hegarty, Dr May and colleagues from the State, Society and Governance in Melanesia (SSGM) Project facilitated a national conference on ‘Peace-Building’ organised by the Pacific Islands Forum Secretariat. The Centre organised a major international conference, ‘L’etat des Etats — Pacific States Today’, at the ANU from 8–9 December. The conference reviewed the nature and condition of states and territories across the Pacific Islands region — including the Francophone Pacific. Participation by scholars from the University of New Caledonia including the University’s President, Professor Paul de Deckker, was a particular highlight. The Dictionary of Pacific Islands Biography project (initiated in 2002 by Professor Lal) is currently in search of a publisher. Ms Kate Fullagher completed her assignment as Assistant Editor of the Dictionary in March. Mr Hegarty, besides continuing to manage the SSGM Project’s research and outreach, commenced planning future activities for the CCP including conferencing, professional training and visitors programs, and engagement with Pacific regional institutions on ‘second track’ networks. Research highlights • The Centre hosted a major international conference, ‘L’etat des Etats — Pacific States Today’, attended by scholars from Australian universities, the University of New Caledonia, and other Pacific universities.

CENTRE FOR THE STUDY OF THE CHINESE SOUTHERN DIASPORA

During the year, the Centre went through a re-planning process of its central activities and decided on four objectives for its future focus: to reactivate the Cushman Visiting Fellowships, which enable graduate scholars working on the Chinese in Southeast Asia, Australia and New Zealand to come to ANU to carry out research; to launch the International Cushman Prize for

the best PhD thesis on the history of the overseas Chinese in Southeast Asia, Australia, New Zealand, and the Pacific; to continue to commit to the teaching of Southern Chinese diasporas at an undergraduate level, while working closely with the Faculty of Asian Studies; and to provide an annual prize for the best research essay on the Chinese diasporas. Further, the Centre will develop a web museum on the history of the Chinese in Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos.

GRADUATE STUDIES IN INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS PROGRAM

The GSIA attracted a highly qualified group of students to each of its constituent degree and award programs in 2003. There were 123 students enrolled overall: 36 in the Graduate Diploma in International Affairs, 35 in the Master of International Affairs, and 52 in the MA (International Relations). The students came from Australia, Canada, Fiji, Indonesia, Japan, New Zealand, Singapore, Slovak Republic, Taiwan, Tanzania, United Kingdom, United States of America, and Zimbabwe. Thirty-seven students graduated in 2003: 20 in the MA (International Relations) and 17 in the Master of International Affairs. The Program’s location in the Research School of Pacific and Asian Studies provides an unparalleled opportunity for students to undertake graduate coursework in international affairs with a focus on the Asia–Pacific region. This allows students to complement globally focused courses such as Global Security, Global Governance and International Political Economy with regionally oriented courses such as Asia–Pacific Security, Post-Colonial Pacific and Global Change, and Ethnicity and Conflict in Asia and the Pacific. In 2003, two new developments were finalised. Firstly, a partnership was established with the International Peace Research Institute in Oslo to provide a specialisation in Peace and Conflict

Studies within the GSIA Program. This will be part-delivered in Oslo between September and December each year beginning in 2004. Secondly, the GSIA, jointly with the Asia–Pacific College of Diplomacy, will provide two combined degrees in diplomacy and international relations: the Master of Diplomacy/Master of International Affairs, and the Master of Diplomacy/MA (International Relations).

Copies are available on request. 88 Research School of Pacific and Asian Studies, 2003 Annual Report DIVISION OF SOCIETY AND ENVIRONMENT

The Division of Society and Environment is the largest Division in the Research School of Pacific and Asian Studies, with 29 academic staff, two adjunct academic staff, 95 postgraduate students and 74 Visiting Fellows. It consists basically of four Departments, two Centres and a Graduate Program. In addition, the Division is home to the Centre for Archaeological Research (CAR) and the Centre for Research on Language Change (CRLC). It also administers the Resource Management in Asia Pacific Program (RMAP), the United Nations University Project on People, Land and Environmental Change (PLEC), the Land Management Group (LMG), the Transformation of Communist Systems Project, and the Thai-Yunnan Project. The main focus of the Division has been on the national research priorities as they apply to the social sciences and the humanities. Human impact on the environment, both historical and contemporary, and major changes in the societies of the Asia–Pacific region, are central issues. Divisional research involves contemporary issues such as conflict, instability and governance, with cognate research on access to resources, food security, employment, reproductive health and HIV/AIDS. These are informed by basic research into environmental history, marine and climate change, tropical ecosystems, faunal extinction, and language and cultural endangerment and loss. A major goal of this research is to contribute to the shaping of a sustainable social and natural environment across the Asia–Pacific. The Division has an active fieldwork program which ranges over the whole Asia–Pacific region. Geographically, the research is concentrated on the cultures and societies within the region, focusing particularly on China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Indonesia, the Philippines, Thailand, East Timor, Papua New Guinea, Solomon Islands, Vanuatu, New Caledonia, Fiji, French Polynesia and Palau in Micronesia. The year 2003 was extremely successful for applicants of Australian Research Council (ARC) and other research grants. Five ARC Discovery grants and three ARC Linkage grants were awarded to members of the Division and their collaborators totaling $2,724,584.00. Each grant will provide research funding for three- to five-year periods. Four appointments were made during the year: Dr Nicole Haley in Anthropology; Dr Kersty Hobson in Human Geography; Dr Beth Evans in Linguistics; and Adjunct Professor Amareswar Galla in Graduate Studies in Sustainable Heritage Development. Mrs Barbara Caiger joined the Contemporary China Centre as a Research Assistant, while the Department of Linguistics farewelled Ms Margaret Forster who became Executive Assistant to the School’s Manager. Professor Jonathan Unger of the Contemporary China Centre was elected a Fellow of the Australian Academy of the Humanities.

The high quality of the work of the support staff of the Division was recognised once again with two of the RSPAS General Staff Development Awards going to Mr Paul Brugman and Ms Peta Hill. A number of areas in the Division organised major domestic and international conferences during the year. More information on the extracurricular commitments of staff members of the Division can be found on the RSPAS web site under the heading, ‘Collaborations and Outreach’. Graduate training in the Division continued to strengthen with an intake of 24 new scholars. The Division had 87 PhD and one MPhil scholars enrolled in 2003. Of these, 15 PhD scholars were conferred during the year.

DEPARTMENT OF ANTHROPOLOGY

Fully staffed and with numerous recent PhD completions, the Department was in a strong position to take in an unprecedented number of highly qualified new postgraduates from both Australia and overseas. With Anthropology colleagues elsewhere on campus, Department members collaborated in revising the ‘Theory, Methods and Ethics Seminar’ for entering postgraduates and in developing a new one-year Master of Applied Anthropology degree (http://anthropology.anu.edu.au/MAAPD). The Department also initiated a one-year Bridging Course for entering scholars who lacked formal degrees in the discipline. Dr Nicole Haley joined Dr Alan Rumsey’s ARC-funded ‘Chanted Tales in New Guinea’ project as a Research Associate. The Department was privileged to host Yale PhD scholar, Ms Laura Yoder, and University of Washington scholar, Ms Duong Bich Hanh, as Southeast Asia Fellows funded by the Luce Foundation. Other international visitors included Professor Takesi Kumano of Japan, Dr Christian Cullas of France, Ms Li Quanmin and Professor Yin Shaoting of the People’s Republic of China, Dr Arlette Ottino, and Professor Charles Keyes and Dr Andrea Molnar of the USA. In collaboration with the School of Archaeology and Anthropology in the Faculties, the Department published two issues of The Asia Pacific Journal of Anthropology (TAPJA). The editor, Dr Kathy Robinson, negotiated a new publishing and marketing agreement with Taylor and Francis for TAPJA, and this should greatly increase circulation. Professor Mark Mosko was selected as Chair-elect of the Association for Social Anthropology in Oceania. Details of staff members’ research interests are published in the RSPAS Directory of Research 2004, which is the companion volume to the RSPAS Annual Report. More details on staff collaborations and outreach activities can be accessed on the RSPAS web site. With colleagues in the Department of Human Geography and AusAID, Dr Robinson and Dr Andrew McWilliam launched their four-year ARC Linkage project, ‘Negotiating Alternative Economic Strategies for Regional Development in Indonesia and the Philippines’. The Thai-Yunnan Project has continued its strong publications program with two new issues of the Bulletin. It received a number of visitors, including Dr Christian Culas from IRSEA (Marseilles), Ms Aranya Siriphon of Chiang Mai University, and Ms Joyce Li of Kunming University. An exchange program with IRSEA (France) has been established and a number of workshops are planned.

DEPARTMENT OF ARCHAEOLOGY AND NATURAL HISTORY

The Department continued to expand with five new scholars commencing projects on Lord Howe Island, Cook Islands, northern Luzon, Philippines, Southeast Asia and Milne Bay, PNG. Research staff continue to work at sites in the Asia-Pacific region which included: Auckland Island in southern New Zealand; islands in the north of the Philippines; Batanes; Taiwan; Efate island (Vanuatu); Timor Leste; Rapa Iti in the Austral Islands of French Polynesia; Paoay Lake in northern Luzon; and the Yaeyama group of the Ryukyu Islands. Detailed profiles of the research interests of ANH staff members are available in this Report’s companion volume, the RSPAS Directory of Research 2004. This was the final year of a major grant from the Sasakawa Foundation for Dr Glenn Summerhayes to run training in archaeology and cultural heritage to local groups in the Pacific. Successful training sessions were held in Buka, PNG, and Vao Island, Vanuatu, the latter led by Dr Stuart Bedford of the Auckland Museum. Professor Geoffrey Hope assisted with the Vao field school and demonstrated palaeoenvironmental techniques. As a result of the January bushfires in Canberra, the Department sustained a major loss with the destruction of its archive at suburban Weston. This contained thirty years of materials, films and documents from most parts of the Pacific and Australia, including the late Rhys Jones’s western Tasmanian material. With special funding from the ANU, some incombustible parts of the collections, such as pottery and stone tools, were excavated from the ashes by Ms Mary Clare Swete-Kelly and Ms Sarah Phear, with assistance from many students, and the advice of Mr Wallace Ambrose. Professor Hope was appointed to the Natural Systems Recovery Group of the Australian Capital Territory (ACT) and developed a mire monitoring program at selected bogs in the Australian Capital Territory and New South Wales as well as advising on remedial measures following the bushfires. The Department took delivery of an auto microwave digester to facilitate phytolith and other sample preparation and staff received training on its safe operation. Other equipment gained from a Major Equipment Committee grant includes ground radar and a Geocore hammered corer. Also, Dr Alan Watchman installed a powerful laser for ablation of thin layers in his laboratory. Success in three ARC Discovery and Linkage grants will add two postdoctoral staff and more PhD scholars to the Department in 2004. Research highlights • Professor Peter Bellwood completed his book, The First Farmers, for Blackwell Publishers in Malden, Mass., USA. • Important work defining the earliest stages of agriculture at Kuk, PNG, using new techniques of starch, phytolith and pollen analysis was published in Science, incorporating work by Emeritus Professor Jack Golson and Dr Simon Haberle

Late in the year the Department welcomed the arrival of Dr Kersty Hobson who is taking up a five-year Research Fellowship. The Land Management Group (http://rspas.anu.edu.au/lmg/) completed a number of milestones in a major consultancy to AusAID on information for rural development. A visit was made to PNG to collect recently published and unpublished reports and to install and train users in the PNG Agricultural Bibliography. Mrs Veerle Vlassak, Ms Tracy Harwood and Ms Alyson Wright continued with the updating and editing of the Bibliography and with data entry and editing of a colletion of long-run data on aspects of agriculture in PNG. Mr Matthew Allen joined the Group to oversee the completion of this report. Dr Allen and Dr Michael Bourke are members of the AusAID PNG Rural Reference Group. With Mr Tom Betitis, Dr Bourke completed a forty-two-day field study of Bougainville, Buka. Dr Bourke is also involved in the sub-global assessment of coastal, small island and coral reef ecosystems in PNG for the Millennium Assessment. Visitors to the LMG included Dr Sergeo Bang and Dr Alfred Hartemink, International Soil Reference and Information Centre, Wageningen University in the Netherlands. The Department’s administrative and research work continues to be admirably supported by general staff members Mrs Winifred Loy and Ms Sandra Davenport.

DEPARTMENT OF LINGUISTICS

The Department continued its program of research on the languages of Southeast Asia and the Pacific. Staff and scholars are currently doing in-depth analysis of 18 languages of the region, in Indonesia, the Philippines, Taiwan, Laos and Cambodia, Papua New Guinea, Vanuatu, Fiji, and Tahiti, and are conducting comparative historical and typological research on the Austronesian, Papuan and Austro–Asiatic language families. One PhD scholar was conferred during the year. A highlight was the Pacific Linguistics publication, The Lexicon of Proto Oceanic, Volume 2: The Physical Environment, by Malcolm Ross, Andrew Pawley and Meredith Osmond. This is the second in a series of five volumes that uses comparative lexicon to reconstruct the culture and environment of the speakers of Proto Oceanic, whose descendants spread across the southwest and central Pacific some 3000 years ago. In June, Dr Bethwyn Evans was appointed to the The Lexicon of Proto Oceanic project as a Research Fellow and Mrs Osmond was appointed as the project’s part-time research assistant. Ms Margaret Forster, who had been with the Department for seven years working primarily on the typesetting and copyediting of Pacific Linguistics books, left to take up a full-time post with the Manager of RSPAS. Under the managing editorship of Dr Ross and Dr John Bowden, Pacific Linguistics published 17 books during the year. The long awaited title, A Dictionary of Buin, a Language of Bougainville, by a former member of the Department, the late Donald Laycock, was also published by Pacific Linguistics. When he died in 1989, Dr Layock had completed most of the work on the dictionary. The task of editing it for publication was taken on by Dr Masayuki Onishi, a former ANU graduate who is currently a Visiting Fellow in the Department. The Department of Linguistics is in its first year of partnership with the Universities of Sydney and Melbourne to establish a Pacific and Regional Languages Distributed Archive (PARLDA), to digitise field recordings of language and music made by researchers working in the Asia–Pacific region. PARLDA is supported by an ARC Linkage grant and has digitised 500 hours of recordings during the year. The fledgling Centre for the Research on Language Change continued to grow in membership and held a lively series of seminars with speakers from inside and outside the ANU. The research interests of individual academic staff members are published in this report’s companion volume, the RSPAS Directory of Research 2004. Their collaborations with other universities and institutions and extracurricular research commitments are also available on the RSPAS web site, under the heading ‘Collaborations and Outreach’. Research highlights • Dr Robin Hide and Professor Pawley completed the editing of a very special ethnobiological book, Animals the Ancestors Hunted: an account of the wild mammals of the Kalam area, Papua New Guinea, by Ian Saem Majnep and the late Ralph Bulmer. Majnep, a Kalam speaker, wrote most of the chapters in Kalam and Bulmer translated them before his death in 1988. The tasks of completing the commentaries and several indices and appendices and updating

the biological identifications took the editors several years. The book will be published by Crawford House Australia. • Pacific Linguistics published The Physical Environment, Volume 2 of the five-volume series The Lexicon of Proto Oceanic. The Culture and Environment of Ancestral Oceanic Society (Ross, Pawley and Osmond). Prizes, honours and awards • Dr Wayan Arka received a three-year grant from the Lisbet Rausing Fund for the project, Endangered Languages, to enable documentation of the Rongga language of Flores Island. • Professor Pawley and Dr Ross were awarded a three-year ARC Discovery grant to complete the final three volumes of The Lexicon of Proto Oceanic series. • Professor Pawley and Dr Ross were awarded Commonwealth Centenary Medals. • Professor Darrell Tryon, in collaboration with Dr Peter Brown of the School of Language Studies, was awarded an ARC Discovery grant for the project ‘Literature, Language and the Expression of Cultural Chance in the Francophone Pacific’.

CONTEMPORARY CHINA CENTRE

The research of the Contemporary China Centre focuses on the domestic politics, societies and economies of China and Taiwan. During 2003, members of the Centre accomplished an extensive amount of fieldwork in China, details of which follow under the heading ‘Research highlights’. The individual research interest of academic staff appear in this report’s companion volume, the RSPAS Directory of Research 2004, which is available on request. Also, the research collaborations of the Centre’s staff and students are available on the RSPAS web site under the heading, ‘Collaborations and Outreach’. Two PhD scholars were conferred during the year, and three Doctoral scholars, Ms Mel Southwell-Lee, Dr Graeme Smith and Ms Lynette Ong, arrived to undertake dissertations. Ms Ong is formally with the Faculty of Asian Studies but is hosted and accommodated at the Centre. Professor Jonathan Unger is the principal supervisor for all three of the new scholars. A new three-year ARC Discovery grant was awarded during the year to a research project examining punishment in modern China. Professor Unger is one of the Principal Investigators; and Dr Borge Bakken, the new project’s Senior Research Associate, will be hosted for the next three years jointly by the Contemporary China Centre and the Division of Pacific and Asian History. The China Journal, which is edited and published at the Centre, celebrated a quarter century anniversary during 2003. Mr Barry Howarth, the Assistant Editor, took retirement in March, and a new Assistant Editor, Mrs Janelle Caiger, took up the post in October. The China Journal continues to be ranked among the most-cited area studies journals in the world.

CENTRE FOR ARCHAEOLOGICAL RESEARCH

The Centre for Archaeological Research (CAR) has gone from strength to strength in 2003. Member numbers increased from 123 in 2002 to 136, of which just over half are members on the ANU campus, most of them also members of the National Institutes. They are involved in research projects worldwide, but with an emphasis on the Asia–Pacific region, notably in the ‘Asian Fore-Arc Project’ which is currently engaged on fieldwork in Taiwan, the Philippines, Palau, PNG, East Timor and northern Australia. Centenary Medals were awarded to 672 Canberrans in the Easter Monday Honours List, and among those were 13 CAR members. Professor Matthew Spriggs succeeded Professor Atholl Anderson as Director of CAR from the beginning of 2003 and Dr Glenn Summerhayes became Associate Director. In the 2002 Australian Research Council round, CAR members were awarded a total of 1.2 million dollars in research grants, and topped this with a further 1.4 million in 2003 in five new Discovery and Linkage grants. Members of the Centre organised the annual Australian Archaeological Association Conference for 2003 at Jindabyne with the major theme ‘Colder and drier for longer? Implications of the ‘new’ Late Glacial Maximum (30–20,000 BP) for humans in Australia and the region”. Professor Matthew Johnson of the University of Durham, UK, gave the plenary address. CAR was a major sponsor of the inaugural National Archaeology Week 2003, which successfully raised public awareness about archaeology and the work of Australian archaeologists. Public lectures included one by Professor Anderson, in the National Institute for Asia and Pacific Series, titled Taking to the Boats: the prehistory of Indo-Pacific colonization. This was presented at the National Museum of Australia. The visit of University College London archaeologist Professor Barbara Bender to participate in a Visiting Scholars Workshop at the Centre for Cross-Cultural Research (CCCR) was the

Research School of Pacific and Asian Studies, 2003 Annual Report 127

Research School of Pacific and Asian Studies

occasion for a welcome co-sponsorship of her public lecture at Old Canberra House. Professor Bender spoke on ‘Walking/Working at the Bronze Age Settlement of Leskernick on Bodmin Moor, Cornwall’. In addition, our weekly seminar series continued through the year and a popular series of discussion evenings was held at the homes of various CAR members. CAR has continued to underwrite the archaeological dating program for campus members (100 conventional and 25 AMS dates produced in 2003). It is worth noting here the closure at the end of 2003 of the University’s Radiocarbon Laboratory, which began as part of the then- Department of Prehistory in the then-Research School of Pacific Studies in 1965. CAR will continue to provide radiocarbon dates during 2004 through an arrangement with the University of Waikato, New Zealand. In addition some $16,000 was disbursed to staff and scholars from our New Initiatives Fund. Another example of cross-campus collaboration was the success at the end of 2002 of ANU archaeologists and others in obtaining a grant from the Major Equipment Committee worth, with contributions from RSPAS and the Faculty of Arts, in excess of $216,000 for state-of-the-art field and survey equipment. A generous bequest to CAR from the late Dorothy Cameron has allowed the establishment of a Dorothy Cameron Prize for the best publication of the year in archaeology by an ANU student. Small grants will also be available from this fund to help scholars get their work published. Finally, we have worked towards a future for CAR by putting up a network of archaeological scientists at ANU on the CAR web site and by preparing an application for a Centre for Archaeological Science, for which we will be seeking funding during 2004.

GRADUATE STUDIES IN SUSTAINABLE HERITAGE DEVELOPMENT

Graduate Studies in Sustainable Heritage Development (GSSHD) is a partnership program bringing together local, regional, national and international agencies, researchers and educators in addressing arts, culture, museums, heritage and environment within the framework of sustainable development. Mr Roger Beal, AM, Secretary of the Department of Environment and Heritage and Professor Ian Chubb, AO, Vice-Chancellor of the Australian National University (ANU) launched the program on 15 October as the flagship event of the Asia Pacific Focus Day at the ANU. The program is the first of its kind in the world for not only using multi-mode delivery in real and virtual spaces for learning and research, but also centring integrated environmental and holistic heritage management that brings together tangible and intangible, movable and immovable, natural and cultural heritage resources. The program is established at the request of international professional bodies and inter-governmental agencies such as the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO) following the outcomes of the World Summit on Sustainable Development, Johannesburg, and the Stockholm Action Plan of the Inter-Governmental Conference on Cultural Policies in Development. The faculty of the program draws on the collective expertise of the National Institutes at the ANU and the heritage institutions in Australia, as well as national and international experts and scholars, through an innovative extended faculty that instructs in virtual space and comes together in face-to-face field intensives, summer schools and symposia. In addressing contemporary concerns, the GSSHD Program organised a public forum at the National Museum of Australia in March during the Iraq War on the protection of cultural property during armed conflict, and then played an active role in the first coordinated approach to assisting Iraq with restoring its cultural heritage through the Cultural Heritage Reference Group for Iraq of the Australian Government. Similarly the Program organised (with the Indian Parliamentary Forum and UNESCO) a special session in July on the protection of cultural heritage, and the prevention of illicit traffic in cultural property, and the Director of Studies of GSSHD addressed members of the Upper House of the Indian Parliament. In launching individual courses, the GSSHD Program road-tested its curricula for an intensive field school on international legal instruments with the protection of cultural property in Sri Lanka in August. There were 60 participants and students from all the South Asian countries, INTERPOL, UNESCO, the International Council of Museums and the World Customs Organisation. The first Heritage Action Field School, focusing on culture in poverty

alleviation, was conducted during December in Vietnam in collaboration with the Ministry of Culture and Information, UNESCO Hanoi, Vietnam Museum of Ethnology, Hanoi Old Quarter, and the World Heritage Areas of Ha Long Bay, Hue, Hoi An and My Son. By the end of 2003, the GSSHD Program, together with a number of stakeholder agencies, has prepared the groundwork for establishing the UNESCO Asia Pacific Observatory for Culture in Development at the ANU. This includes local partnerships with the Australian Local Government Association, Federation of Ethnic Communities’ Councils of Australia, UNESCO Asia Pacific Focal Point for World Heritage Areas, and the Department of Environment and Heritage, Parklands – Sydney Olympic Park Authority. The foundation year of the GSSHD will lead into 2004 with a heritage in sustainable development Program of excellence in teaching, research and developmental activities of national and international significance, and provide leadership for the protection and promotion of the bio-diversity and cultural diversity of the Asia–Pacific region in the face of accelerating globalisation forces. Research highlights • Professors Amareswar Galla, Lyndel Prott and Patrick O’Keefe initiated case study research on illicit traffic in cultural property in partnership with the International Council of Museums, Paris, and the International Institute for Asian Studies in Leiden. • Professor Galla completed the manuscript of a substantial research volume on Ha Long Bay Ecomuseum, Vietnam. • Professor Galla received a grant of $56,000 to edit the proceedings of substantive papers from Shanghai that informed the drafting and adoption of the International Convention on the Protection of Intangible Heritage of UNESCO in 2003. • UNESCO Paris has signed a contract to research and establish the Asia Pacific Observatory for Cultural Polices in Sustainable Development in Canberra.

RSPAS SCHOOL ADMINISTRATION

The School’s administration experienced many challenges and successes in 2003. The administrative sections are responsible for information technology services, grants and business development, financial management, facilities and operations, human resource management, geospatial and cartographic services, and publishing and imaging. Publishing, Distribution and Imaging has provided a separate report which follows. The January fires impacted on the School and its staff both professionally and personally and, fortunately, no staff or associates were injured. However, the Weston store that housed our large archaeological sample collection was destroyed. By the end of the year a significant effort had been made to salvage and relocate useable remaining samples. Highlights from information technology include establishing a standard platform and implementing it, developing backend patching and virus elimination, coordinating a Digitisation Working Group, establishing a Web Development Working Group, and resurrecting the School’s Information Technology Committee. Ms Michelle Mousdale and her staff work tirelessly to maintain an exceptionally high level of IT service. As the Director has reported, the School’s success rate in attracting ARC funding was outstanding. Both Ms Judith Pabian and Ms Birgit Flatow provided excellent support to RSPAS applicants. The newly created position of Business Development Officer, filled by Ms Flatow late in the year, will focus on attracting other external funding. The School continues its strong financial performance. Dr Katy Gillette and Ms Dzung Phan reviewed and reorganised its special purpose funds, creating a suite of international scholarships to attract the world’s top students. Ms Margueritte Conaghan worked unstintingly to refine the detailed methodology for performance-based budget allocation to Divisions. Ms Sue Lawrence added the School’s human resource management to her portfolio of responsibilities and continues to provide creative solutions and vital corporate memory. Again, the General Staff Development Award program was conducted although in a revamped form which now offers support funding under four categories of activities: Personal and Professional Development, Higher Education Encouragement, Rapid Response Grants and a Corporate Prize. Dr Gillette and Ms Lawrence participated in the working party overseeing the construction of the Coombs Building extension and refurbishment planning of the existing building. In the meantime, the School faces a space crisis, which will not be eased by completion of the extension. As this crisis consumes financial and human resources, addressing the problem is a priority for all parts of the School.

The School continues to manage the North Australia Research Unit in Darwin. The Site Manager, Mr Lyle Hebb, has developed rejuvenation plans for this facility and the School is providing financial support to implement some of these. The new Arafura Timor Research Facility (ATRF) will be constructed on the site in 2004 and Mr Stuart Fitch was appointed as its CEO in late 2003. Mr Hebb is providing day-to-day support for the project and participates on the ATRF Development Working Group. Prizes, honours and awards Staff who received RSPAS 2003 General Staff Development Awards were: Ms Judith Shanahan (Information Technology Services); Mr Paul Brugman (Geospatial Information Unit); Ms Kay Dancey (Cartography Unit); Ms Peta Hill (Politics and International Relations); Ms Allison Ley (Political and Social Change); Ms Birgit Flatow (School Administration); and Ms Celia Roberts (Human Resources, Academic).

PUBLISHING, DISTRIBUTION AND IMAGING

The Publishing, Distribution and Imaging unit of the Research School of Pacific and Asian Studies (PDI) undertakes regular design, editorial, production and distribution duties for the School, including production of the RSPAS Annual Report, RSPAS Directory of Research and RSPAS Catalogue of Publications. PDI also produces four issues of the RSPAS Quarterly Bulletin each year, and distributes these to a nationally and internationally targeted mailing list. Through the RSPAS Bookshop and its online facilities, PDI distributes works produced within the School and the ANU community. The photography unit of PDI experienced a busy year with increased activity in the digital area in addition to their commitments to School projects, RSSS, and the National Institute of Asia and the Pacific. Photography was called on to document the destruction of the ANU’s Mount Stromlo Observatory in the Canberra bushfires in January. Bob Cooper and Darren Boyd spent many days completing the task. The resulting images were scanned and uploaded to the web and will become part of the University’s archives. Images were published around the world as the astronomy community came to terms with the disaster. Both photographers were involved in a digitisation project for the Noel Butlin Archives Centre, and work continued towards establishing a digital archive of the unit’s photograph collection. PANDANUS BOOKS Pandanus Books was established in 2001 within PDI and was approved as an accredited publisher by the Department of Education, Science and Technology in April 2002. While the staff members of PDI and Pandanus Books are essentially the same, Pandanus Books — following DETYA guidelines for accredited publishing — is distinguished from PDI in that it is an editorially independent publishing entity that focuses solely on publishing,

Pandanus Books is assisted in this endeavour by an editorial board, consisting of: Professor D Tryon (Chair), Professor G Barmé, Professor B Bennett, AO, Mr A Blunn, AO, Ms V Fanning, Ms P Layland, Professor B V Lal, Dr R May, Professor T Morris-Suzuki, Dr C Reus-Smit, Mr I Templeman, AM. University and Reference Publishers’ Services (UNIREPS) were appointed as distributors of Pandanus Books for Australia and New Zealand in August 2001. UNIREPS is a specialist Australian academic and general sales marketing and distribution force owned by the University of New South Wales Press. Through UNIREPS, titles produced by Pandanus Books (www.pandanusbooks.com.au) are distributed to a large number of commercial booksellers. In 2003, 13 titles were produced under the Pandanus Books name, as well as two editions of Conversations, a bi-annual journal jointly published by Pandanus Books and the Centre for the Contemporary Pacific, Division of Pacific and Asian History. Electronic editions of all our titles are distributed to the international academic and library market via two US-based electronic distributors, ebrary.com and netLibrary.com. University of Hawai’i Press have been contracted to distribute Pandanus Books in the USA and Canada and, using their sales division, East–West Export Books, throughout Asia and the Pacific region. We reach the New Zealand trade market via Addenda, a publishing and distribution company in Auckland, and the UK and Europe markets via Asian Studies Book Services, based in The Netherlands.

RESOURCE MANAGEMENT IN ASIA–PACIFIC PROGRAM

The RMAP Program is the main vehicle through which the Research School of Pacific and Asian Studies participates in the newly established National Institute for Environment at The Australian National University. RMAP’s mission is to establish itself as the focal point in a regional network of institutions that undertake or use research on the social, political, economic, and ecological aspects of environmental and resource management issues in the Asia–Pacific region. The principal resource ‘sectors’ of interest to the RMAP Program are agriculture (food crops and export crops), forestry, fisheries, mining, petroleum, conservation, tourism, resource tenure, water and energy. It is a multi-disciplinary program, and academic staff are appointed on the basis of their qualifications in one of the specific disciplines represented in the School, and their contribution to the supervision of postgraduate students enrolled in the Departments which represent those disciplines. In 2003, the RMAP Program was granted approval to start enrolling PhD scholars in the fields of Anthropology or Environment and Resource Management, and anticipates an enrolment of up to six students in 2004. The Program’s research priorities and projects are organised around four themes: Social and economic sustainability of extractive industry There is a growing body of evidence that developing countries and countries in transition have not been able to exploit their natural resources to bring about a sustained process of social and economic development. A recent World Bank study suggests a very strong link between the predation of resource rents and the incidence of internal political conflict in these countries. Key research is directed at the social and economic impact of investment in the mining, petroleum, forestry and fisheries sectors, and to the ways in which different forms of extractive industry can contribute to sustainable development and good governance in the region. Scaling ecosystem change in time and space It is becoming increasingly apparent that long-lasting land use legacies need to be part of present-day environmental assessment and natural resource management. Multi-disciplinary analysis of long-term climatic, vegetational and landscape changes can provide essential baseline data for realistic modeling and prediction of future changes and their impacts as can changes in human consumption, management and exploitation of ecosystems, landscapes or natural resources. Local knowledge, common property, community practice There is widespread debate about the relationship between systems of ‘rational’, scientific knowledge and local, traditional or indigenous knowledge in the management of natural resources. However, it is unclear how the status accorded to these latter forms of knowledge relates to the willingness and ability of local or indigenous communities to play an effective role in the management of specific resources. The construction and application of local (or

Research School of Pacific and Asian Studies, 2003 Annual Report 143 Research School of Pacific and Asian Studies

indigenous) knowledge by local (or indigenous) communities therefore needs to be understood as one aspect of the wider relationship between laws, institutions and policies formulated at a number of different scales, within specific sectors and jurisdictions. Agricultural landscapes and catchment processes New cultivation regimes, new forms of state regulation, and strengthened linkages between agricultural and non-agricultural sectors mean that rural resource management institutions face an array of new challenges. Institutions are adapting to manage resource constraints at various scales: households are adjusting their ‘mix’ of productive enterprises; communities are exploring new ways of regulating the use of land, water and forest resources; and regional bodies are being formed to manage the socio-economic and biophysical interconnections in complex catchment systems. The key research challenge is to strengthen our understanding of the impact of social and environmental change on agricultural sustainability and livelihood security. Prizes, honours and awards • Dr Simon Haberle, with Professor Atholl Anderson of ANH, received an ARC Discovery grant for the four-year project ‘Stepping-Stones or Barrier: The Movement and Impact of People throughout the Far Eastern Pacific Ocean’.

STATE, SOCIETY AND GOVERNANCE IN MELANESIA PROJECT

The State, Society and Governance in Melanesia (SSGM) Project was established by the ANU in 1996 to address the perceived crises of government and state–society relations afflicting states in the Melanesian region. The Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade and AusAID, recognising the value to the Australian policy community of expanded scholarship on this important region, have supported the Project from the outset with funding for outreach and administrative activities and by the secondment of a senior officer to the Project. During 2003, Dr Abby McLeod was appointed as Postdoctoral Fellow to the Project and will concentrate on gender issues in relation to law and order in Papua New Guinea, and other Pacific nations. Dr Vicki Luker was appointed Visiting Fellow and her research interests on HIV AIDS in the Pacific will focus on the diverse and difficult policy challenges which this issue presents for the region. Mr Anthony Regan continues to work with AusAID on the implementation of the constitutional arrangements under the Bougainville Peace Agreement of August 2001. Other staff members’ research interests are detailed in the RSPAS publication, Directory of Research 2003, the companion volume to the Annual Report. Seven SSGM conferences and a further three collaborative workshops focused on themes of current concern to the Pacific states, being conflict, peacebuilding and corruption. Eleven seminars and eight background briefings were organised by SSGM.
