REPORT OF THE SCHOOL

The Research School of Pacific and Asian Studies is one of the founding Schools of the Instituteof Advanced Studies at The Australian National University. It was created with a vision thatrecognised the importance of the Asia–Pacific region to the future of Australia. For more thanfifty 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’sresearch focus is on four defined areas of the Asia–Pacific region: Northeast Asia, SoutheastAsia, South Asia and the Southwest Pacific. Through its continuing research and training, theSchool has created and fostered an unparalleled network of academic and research relationshipsthroughout the Asia–Pacific region.

The School has one of the largest concentrations of expertise on the Asia–Pacific regionin the world. It is administratively organised into four Divisions: 1) Economics, 2) Pacific andAsian History, 3) Politics and International Relations, and 4) Society and Environment, plus aDirector’s Section which includes the Strategic and Defence Studies Centre and the NorthernAustralia 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 thisexpertise 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 academictraining program and hosts both national and international visitors.

To achieve its varied research agenda, the School includes a number of centres, projects, andbureaux, most of which are for administrative purposes attached to particular Divisions. Thesecentres and projects include the Australia South Asia Research Centre, the ContemporaryChina Centre, the Centre for the Contemporary Pacific, the Centre for the Study of theChinese Southern Diaspora, the Poverty Research Centre, the Centre for Conflict and Post-Conflict Studies, the Centre for Archaeological Research, the Gender Relations Centre, theCentre for Research on Language Change, the Indonesia Project, the Resource Management inAsia Pacific Project, the State, Society and Governance in Melanesia Project, the LandManagement Project, the Thai-Yunnan Project, the Pacific Manuscripts Bureau and theInternet Publications Bureau. In 2003, the decision was taken to establish the Centre forApplied Macroeconomic Analysis as a University Centre based within the Economics Divisionof the School.

This configuration of academic disciplines, centres and projects is intended to promotea range of research that is both disciplinary and interdisciplinary. The School’s various academicareas, including its centres and projects, hold regular seminars for the presentation of on-goingscholarly research. In addition, the School hosts numerous conferences and supports severaldistinguished lecture series as well as ‘Updates’ on countries in the region.


Research School of Pacific and Asian Studies

Research PublicationsThe research achievements of the School are reflected in the number and diversity of thepublications of its staff. In 2003, members of the School produced 49 books, 25 edited books, and149 chapters in books, 218 journal articles, 59 working papers, 11 chapters in conferenceproceedings, 14 reports, 31 book reviews, 6 forewords, 23 electronic publications and 24microfilms/CD titles.

It is worth citing a few of the important books published during the year to give some idea ofthe diversity of research within the School. In Economics, Professor Raghbendra Jha publishedtwo books, Macroeconomics for Developing Countries and Indian Economic Reforms. InInternational Relations, Dr Paul Keal published a book of far-reaching importance, EuropeanConquest and the Rights of Indigenous People. Dr Greg Fealy and Dr Ed Aspinall published thelatest volume, Local Power and Politics, in what is now a well-established and long-running seriesof Indonesian Update publications. Dr Greg Fealy’s monograph on Nahdlatul Ulama, originallywritten as his PhD dissertation, was published in Indonesian translation as Ijtihad Politik Ulama:Sejarah Nahdlatul Ulama, 1952–1967. In Anthropology, Dr Andrew McWilliam published anethnographic monograph on the majority population of West Timor, Paths of Origin: Gates ofLife, A Study of Place and Precedence in Southwest Timor, based on well over a decade of basicresearch. In Linguistics, Professors Malcolm Ross and Andrew Pawley with Ms MeredithOsmond published the 2nd of a five volume series on the Lexicon of Proto-Oceanic, focusing onthe Physical Environment of the early Austronesians. Emeritus Professor Jack Golson washonoured by a special publication, Perspectives on Prehistoric Agriculture in the New GuineaHighlands, 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 thedissertations 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 underMahathir 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 revolutionwhile 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 EconomicStudies, 2) The Journal of Pacific History, 3) The China Journal, 4) East Asian History and 5) TheAsia Pacific Journal of Anthropology. The Journal Citation Reports for 2003 ranked The ChinaJournal as No. 3 in the world for impact among all area studies journals and No. 2 in terms of itsimmediacy factor — how quickly articles get cited in other journals.

The Linguistics Department in the School publishes Pacific Linguistics, which is the largestpublication series of its kind on the languages of the Asia–Pacific region; Archaeology andNatural History publishes the series, Terra Australis, and the International Relations Departmentpublished Keynotes, a series of papers on contemporary issues.

Professor Pranab K Bardhan from the University of California, Berkeley presented the 2003K R Narayanan Oration entitled ‘Political-Economy and Governance Issues in the Indian

Economic Reform Process’ and Professor Wen-hsin Yeh, also from the University of California,Berkeley delivered the 64th Morrison Lecture, entitled ‘Historian and Courtesan: Chen Yinqueand the Biography of Liu Rushi’.

Staff, Students and VisitorsBy the end of the year, the School had 100 full-time academic staff including staff on outsidefunding. This increase from 70 academic staff in 1998 has been part of a process of plannedrenewal within the School. The School made 18 new academic appointments in 2003. Ten ofthese appointments were offered to women. Of the new offers, 12 were taken up in 2003. Inaddition, six academics who had been offered appointments in 2002 took up their positions. Atthis stage, there are no plans for a further expansion of staff numbers.

The School hosted 167 Visiting Fellows and Department Visitors. Visitors are an essentialcomponent 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 thenumber of PhD students, the School has had to put forward a revised policy limiting the officespace allocated to visitors within the Coombs Building.

An administrative review in 2002 led to a formal separation of RSPAS from RSSS. A periodof adjustment was needed in 2003 to develop effective new working relations. The development

Professor James J Fox with recent graduate Mei Hui-Yu

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 andMA level. In December 2003, 138 students were enrolled for the PhD (compared with 110 PhDstudents in December 2002). Another 28 PhD students were on extended time to submit. Therequirement for most PhD students of at least one year of fieldwork in the region makes itdifficult for many students to complete their PhD within four years. Nevertheless during theyear, 26 students completed their PhD theses and were awarded their degrees and another 18PhDs were under examination.

The Graduate Studies in International Affairs Program (GSIA) attracted a highly qualifiedgroup 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-yearentry to the program continued to be popular providing 13 of the 63 ‘new student’ intake in2003. The class was drawn from Australia, Canada, Fiji, Indonesia, Japan, New Zealand,Singapore, Slovak Republic, Taiwan, Tanzania, United Kingdom, United States of America, andZimbabwe. The 2003 class included 14 from Indonesia (11 of whom were graduate trainees fromthe Indonesian Ministry of Foreign Affairs).

In 2003, the GSIA established a partnership with the International Peace Research Institutein Oslo to provide a specialisation in Peace and Conflict Studies within the GSIA program, partof which is delivered in Norway (beginning in August 2004).

The Graduate Studies in Strategy and Defence (GSSD) Program, which is only in its secondyear, enrolled 90 students in Canberra and in its partner locations. A key feature of this Programis its combination of national and international nodes. Currently the Program has four partnerinstitutions: in Perth with Curtin University, in Melbourne with Monash University, in Taipeiwith National Chengchi University and in Tokyo with United Nations University. Studentsenrolled with the GSSD program take specialised elective courses with partner institutions. Theresult is a regional network for strategic studies training centred on the ANU. Discussions areunderway 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 theAsia–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 theAsia–Pacific region to do PhD research. The result of this policy is an enhanced graduatestudent cohort with benefits for both domestic and international students. This policy also formsthe basis for the School’s extensive research network throughout the region. Unfortunately thereare far too few scholarships for students from the region. Therefore to maintain the quality of itsPhD program, the School must commit a portion of its scholarship funds not just for domesticstudents, but to recruit outstanding foreign students. In times of financial stringency, this is adifficult policy to maintain. Much effort was spent during the year in devising budgetarymechanisms for funding overseas students.



Promotions, Honours, Awards and RetirementsIn 2003, Christian Reus-Smit and Malcolm Ross were promoted to Professor (Level E), ColinFiler to Senior Fellow (Level D) and Andrew McWilliam, Heather Rae, Philip Taylor andAndrew Walker to Fellow (Level C).

Twenty-one members of the School were awarded Centenary Medals. Nine of these awardswere 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 MatthewSpriggs, Jack Golson, Alan Thorne and Alan Watchman. Two were in Economics: Ross Garnautand Warwick McKibbin; two were in Linguistics: Andrew Pawley and Malcolm Ross; one inPolitical and Social Change: Ben Kerkvliet; and Anthony Low, a former Director, who is now aVisiting Fellow in the School.

Professor Jonathan Unger was elected a Fellow of the Australian Academy of theHumanities.

David Marr retired after twenty-eight years in the School. His research on Vietnamesehistory has put him at the forefront of his profession and his supervision of graduate studentsover 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 theSchool. Under the School support scheme for Emeritus Professors, David will be providedresearch funding to assist him in his work for the next three years.

Funding for the SchoolIn 2003, members of the School were successful in obtaining 39 new grants and 15 consultanciesthat contributed $6.07 million to the School. Grants comprised the major part of this externalfunding ($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 Projectgrants, one Linkage International Fellowship and two Network Seed Funding grants for researchprojects beginning in 2004.

In addition, RSPAS, on behalf of the ANU, received $3.25 million from DEST under theMajor National Research Facilities program for the establishment of the Arafura Timor ResearchFacility at the North Australia Research Unit (NARU) in Darwin. In this program, the ANU isa joint partner with the Australian Institute of Marine Science (AIMS). The building of thenew 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 andprocedures for the allocation of its budget. The School has an agreed-upon formula for theallocation of block-grant funding among its Divisions and Centres and combines this historicalallocation with a performance-based allocation of all new DEST funding. These policies providecontinuity and relative autonomy to units within RSPAS with possibilities for growth based onperformance.

The School ended the year with a surplus, much of which was held by its Divisions andCentres as part of their approved future commitments. Some of the surplus will be used early in2004 to fit out the new Coombs Building extension and in relocating teaching areas to theextension. A portion of this surplus will also be required to meet the shortfall in funding due tosalary increases, increases in running costs, pre-retirement contracts and other contractualarrangements. The School’s ledger includes funds allocated for the new Asia–Pacific College ofDiplomacy, the Arafura Timor Research Facility and the National Institute for Asia and thePacific.

Current Developments within the SchoolThe School has been able to develop — and indeed expand — its activities in a responsiblefashion during a period of uncertain transition. It has had to expand its efforts to secure new andmore diverse sources of funding. At the same time, in response to changes within theAsia–Pacific region that is the focus of its research, the School has had to retain a flexibility tobe able to refocus its research where necessary. The School’s response to developments in thePacific during 2003 is a good example of the capacity of the School to provide a clear focus onnew developments in the region.

A major strain facing the School is a lack of space. An extension to the Coombs Building isnearing completion and will be available for occupancy in April 2004. This extension willprovide valuable teaching space for the School’s Graduate Programs in International Relationsand Strategic and Defence Studies. Through an exchange of office space with RSSS, it will alsoallow the Strategic and Defence Studies Centre to reoccupy rooms in the Coombs Building. Ineffect, therefore, because of an agreement to share space with the new Asia–Pacific College ofDiplomacy, 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 hasdrastically reduced the space it is able to offer to visitors and has had to crowd more PhDgraduate students into shared rooms within the School. The School is expecting to enrol at leastanother 45 PhD students for 2004. To meet present needs, the School will have no choice butto seek additional office space outside of the Coombs Building to accommodate its new intakeof students.

Involvement with the National InstitutesMost members of the School have chosen to join several National Institutes. The mostimportant of these National Institutes for the School as a whole has been the National Institutefor Asia and the Pacific. The Director of RSPAS is Co-Convenor of this Institute and membersof 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 ofFebruary 2004, was the ‘Asia–Pacific Week/Summer School’. This inaugural event involved 164student participants (from Australia, New Zealand, Asia, Europe and North America) and 83



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

Transitions2003 saw the deaths of two colleagues of long-standing in the School: Peter Grimshaw on the2nd 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 theposition of Business Manager for the Joint Schools (RSPAS and RSSS) and held this position until1993. 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 generalpublic. He was president of the National Tertiary Education Industry Union (NTEU) ANUGeneral 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 successorinstitution, 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 Fundfor the purchase of artwork for the School. This fund has been used to acquire the outstandingwork of graduates from the Canberra School of Art whose creations, in any medium, express anAsian or Pacific theme.

After his retirement, Mr Gimshaw became a Visiting Fellow in the Division of Pacific andAsian History. Based on his own considerable knowledge of Papua New Guinea where his fatherhad served for many years as Police Commissioner, Mr Grimshaw used his time to produce abook, 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 in1968, when he was appointed foundation Executive Officer of the Pacific Manuscripts Bureau inRSPAS. He occupied this position until his retirement in 1984, by which time the Bureau hadproduced about 2,100 rolls of microfilm of Pacific Islands manuscripts, archives and rare printedmaterial. From the time of his retirement until his death, Langdon was a Visiting Fellow inPacific History. He was the author of a number of books on Pacific history and a member of theeditorial board of the Journal of Pacific History. In 1981 he was awarded the Cruz de Caballero dela 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 DirectionsRSPAS is in its final year of transition to the national competitive system of funding. Its strategyis to make this transition successful. It will endeavour to maintain its excellent record inapplications for ARC funding. It will continue to be actively involved in the activities of theNational Institute for Asia and the Pacific and to work closely with other parts of the University

that focus on the region. It will continue to promote the Asia–Pacific Week/Summer School inthe coming year and to work to establish, in cooperation with the Faculty of Arts, a program ofPacific studies to match those on the Asian region. The School will continue to attractoutstanding graduate students at all levels and expects to remain a pioneer in new technologiesfor teaching and research via the Internet.

In terms of its long-term planning, the School hopes to be able to develop further substantialexpertise on South Asia and to conduct more research on Myanmar. Appointments in 2003added to the School’s expertise on South Asia, and the signing of a Memorandum ofUnderstanding with Yangon University opened the possibilities of new research. These areencouraging steps in the right direction.

Director’s ResearchResponsibilities as Director in 2003 provided me with less time than I would have liked to carryforward my continuing research on Indonesia and East Timor. The year did see the publicationby ACIAR of a book on Timorese agriculture, Agriculture: New Directions for a New Nation, EastTimor (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 ofthe Ashes: Destruction and Reconstruction of East Timor that I had edited with Dionisio BaboSoares. And after a long wait, colleagues at The SMERU Research Institute in Jakarta withwhom I have collaborated produced our joint report on recent developments in agriculture inJombang, East Java. This publication represents some continuity. I began the study of agriculturein Jombang in the early 1980s and have managed to follow developments there for the past twodecades. During the second half of the year, I was involved with Dr Tom Therik and Dr AndrewMcWilliam in an Environment Australia project to establish alternative livelihoods for localfisher families on the island of Roti in eastern Indonesia. We were able to support over115 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 onEast Timor, Branching from the Trunk: East Timorese Perceptions of Nationalism in Transition; MeiHui-Yu submitted a thesis, Seating the Gods, Celebrating the Spirits: Locality, Ritual Practice andSocial 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 ofthe 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 theend of January, I made a brief trip to Indonesia and then went on to Yangon in Myanmar whereI was joined by Drs Nick Tapp, Alan Thorne and Andrew Walker as guest of the Department ofEducation. We spent nearly a week visiting colleagues at the University of Yangon and at otherinstitutions of higher learning in and around Yangon. We met the Minister for Education and wewere all invited to give formal lectures at the University. Our principal goal was to establish aMemorandum of Understanding between the University of Yangon and the ANU. Eventually,



in May, the document was officially signed and the doors were opened for possible researchcooperation.

I travelled to Singapore to attend the official opening on the 12th of March of the AsiaResearch Institute headed by Professor Anthony Reid at the National University of Singaporeand to participate in the Roundtable on ‘Research Priorities for Asia’ on the following day. Inthe early part of June, I travelled to Jakarta, this time to give the keynote address on ‘CulturalDiversity in Southeast Asia’ at a conference on Multicultural Education at the University ofIndonesia and, at the end of June, I travelled to Dili to present a paper on ‘Traditional Justiceand the Court System of the Island of Roti’ at a conference on Conflict Resolution andTraditional Justice sponsored by the Asia Foundation. I travelled again to Singapore to attendthe Third International Convention of Asia Scholars from the 19th to 22nd of August and toBali for the 2nd meeting of the Arafura and Timor Seas Experts Forum on the 18th and 19th ofOctober.

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 forAsian, African, and Amerindian Studies and is the major concentration of its kind in theNetherlands. It has an unusual organisation comprising 14 separate research ‘clusters’ not just atthe 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 tocomplete the Report.

Finally in November, I travelled to Hawai’i to attend a three-day workshop on East Timorsponsored by the Center for Southeast Asian Studies at the University of Hawai’i at which I openedthe discussion on issues facing East Timor.

In Canberra, I presented a paper, ‘The Influence of Indian Trade Cloth on Rotinese TextileDesign’ at the National Gallery of Australia’s International Conference held from the 11th tothe 13th of July in association with the exhibition, Sari to Sarong: Five Hundred Years of Indianand Indonesian Textile Exchange. I also gave a short talk at an East Timor Policy Update organisedby 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 itsDirector. As Director, I want to thank all members of the School for their support andcollegiality. As I have remarked repeatedly, the strength of the School is its intellectual diversityand 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 PrescribedAuthority and as Convenor of the Division of Society and Environment. I also extend mythanks to the Convenors of the other Divisions, to the Heads of Departments and Centres andto their Administrators, to Katy Gillette as Manager (“M”), and to Sue Lawrence, MargueritteConagahan, Gabrielle Cameron, Michelle Mousdale, Lyle Hebb, Ian Templeman, Judith Pabian,Birgit Flatow and Ann Andrews, all of whom contributed enormously to the operation of theSchool. Indeed I would like to thank all of the staff in the School for their efforts andcommitment. Finally, I want to thank Linda Poskitt who managed the Director’s office duringthe first half of the year and Pam Wesley-Smith who took up the position in the second half ofthe year and succeeded in managing both the Director and his office brilliantly.

PACIFIC MANUSCRIPTS BUREAUThe 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 filmat-risk contemporary and indigenous material documenting the cultural and political aspirations ofthe independent island states, particularly material relating to recent economic and political issuesaffecting the islands. Climactic conditions, coupled with the region’s relatively small archivalinfrastructure 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 veryfew long-term archival projects in the world based on international cooperation. To date theBureau has produced more than 3000 reels of 35mm microfilm, together with associatedbibliographic documentation and indexes. Sets of the microfilms are lodged in each of theBureau’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 firstteleconference in Canberra in December. An agreed increase in the annual subscription rate willimprove the Bureau’s funding situation. Sales of PMB microfilms have been moderate. InJanuary 96 rolls of 35mm microfilm were distributed to each of the PMB member libraries, and afurther 97 rolls were despatched in December.

Overseas projects have proceeded at a slower pace than usual, with only two field tripsundertaken this year. In Honolulu the Bureau microfilmed the Micronesian Collection of theHawaiian Mission Children’s Society. Fr Francis Hezel’s papers on the history of Catholicmissions in Micronesia were microfilmed at the Micronesian Seminar in Pohnpei, FSM. Thearchives of Greenpeace New Zealand were surveyed and rare Pacific scientific serials werelocated 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 PacificCollection at the University of NSW Library, the Centre for the Study of AustralianChristianity, the Mitchell Library and those in private hands. One trip was made to Brisbane tomicrofilm Bougainville plantation records in private hands and rare copies of the Solomon IslandsAgricultural Gazette in the Queensland Herbarium Library. Further Pacific scientific serials weremicrofilmed at the CSIRO Black Mountain Library in Canberra.

The Bureau continued to microfilm the extensive series of correspondence files of the PacificPhosphate 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 weretransferred to the Bureau from the South Australian Museum for microfilming. Papers of theIndo–Fijian politician, Jai Ram Reddy, and two ex-PNG Patrol Officers, Gavin Carter andNorman 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 theresearch papers of Rev. Neville Threlfall, Richard Thurnwald, Don Laycock, Robert Langdon,Dorothy Shineberg, James Jupp, Robert Norton and Jo Herlihy.

STRATEGIC AND DEFENCE STUDIES CENTREThe Strategic and Defence Studies Centre (SDSC) continued its pattern of increased activityand expansion during 2003. The troubled international security environment, the continuingwar on terror and the military campaign in Iraq drew all senior members of the Centre into theprovision of extensive media commentary. Immediately prior to, and during, the militaryoperations in Iraq media briefings were held every morning, seven days a week, and Centre staffmembers led much of the informed debate. Later in the year when tensions rose on the KoreanPeninsula, 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’scompanion volume to this Report, the RSPAS Directory of Research 2004, provides profiles ofall Centre staff, including their individual research interests. In addition, staff members’ researchcollaborations, conference attendance, and interactions with other institions and governmentare made available on the RSPAS web site at

2003 also saw a significant growth with seven PhD scholars joining the Centre. The researchtopics of these scholars are listed in a later section of the Centre’s report. During the year theAustralian Department of Defence awarded Sir Arthur Tange Scholarships to two scholars, andprovided 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 yearundergraduate major, Strategic and Security Studies: the Asian Region , the decision was madeto strengthen the options for these undergraduates by offering a complete degree, the Bachelor ofStrategic Analysis (Asian Studies), from 2004.

SDSC provides the executive office of the Australian member committee of the Council forSecurity 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, AlexanderDowner, announced a ‘counter-terrorism package’, in which he stated that he was ‘workingclosely’ with Australian CSCAP committee ‘on arrangements for a new regional conference onsecurity issues, including the nature of the terrorist threat facing the region and how bestregional governments can respond’. The first conference in this project, which requiredextensive SDSC planning and involved some 250 participants including Ministers, heads ofForeign and Defence Ministries, and heads of all the strategic studies centers in the region, washeld in Jakarta from 6–9 December.

The year saw several prominent personalities join the Centre in a part-time capacity asVisiting Fellows. Amongst these was Admiral Chris Barrie (former Chief of the AustralianDefence Force), Dr Richard Brabin-Smith (former Australian Chief Defence Scientist andDeputy Secretary Strategy in the Department of Defence) and Dr Bilveer Singh, from theNational 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

The Division of Economics is concerned with the theoretical and applied problems of economicdevelopment and international economics, with special reference to the countries of NortheastAsia, Southeast Asia, South Asia and the Southwest Pacific. The interests of the Divisioninclude the economic relations of these countries with Australia. Within the broad context ofeconomic development, the Division currently has active interests in the analysis ofmacroeconomic stability, agriculture, industrialisation, poverty, the role of the state, theenvironment and international trade and investment. The Division is recognised as the leadingcentre outside Indonesia for research on the Indonesian economy, and publishes the Bulletin ofIndonesian 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 theAsian Pacific School of Economics and Government [APSEG]); Japan (in collaboration withthe Australia–Japan Research Centre, APSEG); the Korea Economy Program; the AustraliaSouth Asia Research Centre; and the Poverty Research Centre. As their names imply, the firstfive of these programs are focused on particular countries, or groups of countries in theAsia–Pacific region. In contrast, the Poverty Research Centre has been established to studyacross all countries in the region, the extent of poverty, its causes and the efficacy of possibleways of alleviating it.

Full-time research is carried out by tenured and non-tenured members of staff and graduatestudents. In 2003, members of the Division undertook research focused on particular countries aswell as broad systemic issues such as: macroeconomic instability and problems of financialcontagion; the development of mechanisms to reduce the likelihood of economic crises such asthe 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 formercommunist countries in the region; regional trade and investment policy, including the approachof bilateral versus multilateral trading arrangements; the regional and global impacts of China’semergence into the global economy; global and regional currency arrangements and regionalmonetary reform; causes of poverty and policies for alleviation, environmental policy particularlyrelated to deforestation, water quality, air quality and climate change; and the impact ofdemographic change.

The Division is fortunate to have Professor Jong Wha Lee of Korea University, ProfessorHadi Soesatro of CSIS in Indonesia and Professor David Vines of Oxford University as AdjunctProfessors. 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 memberswere awarded a number of grants and consultancies. Our PhD scholars program was expandedand a group of 23 PhD scholars are working now across a wide range of topics. Members of theDivision 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 leadingacademic journals and books with leading publishers. They also participated in the public debatethrough 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 maybe 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 InternationalEconomics at the PhD Conference for Business Economics in Perth.

THE AUSTRALIA SOUTH ASIA RESEARCHCENTREThe Australia South Asia Research Centre (ASARC) is at the forefront of research into southAsian economies in the Australia–New Zealand region.

The Centre continued its research on poverty-nutrition traps in India and produced sixworking papers. This project is funded by the Department of International Development in theUnited Kingdom.

The Centre also augmented its economic database relating to the south Asian economiesand 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 onglobal public goods, and ASARC was involved with a World Bank project on the possibility ofattaining Millennium Development Goals in India.

The MacArthur Foundation continues to aid the research of the Centre on globalenvironmental institutions and has extended its grant for another year.

ASARC’s network of economists in the Australia–New Zealand region working on southAsian economies produced seven working papers, bringing their total to thirty-two (seehttp://rspas.anu.edu.au/economics/asarc/).

Dr Prasanna Gai, a Fellow in the Division of Economics, RSPAS, has been selected as the2003 Rajiv Gandhi Fellow and will spend three months at the Rajiv Gandhi Institute forContemporary Studies (RGICS), New Delhi. This arrangement reciprocates the visit toASARC by a Fellow of the RGICS in 2002.

Research highlights

• Professor Pranab Bardhan, University of California at Berkeley, presented the 2003 K RNarayanan Oration titled ‘Political economy and governance issues in Indian economicreforms’. 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 ‘BusinessProspects in India: Culture, Society and Economy’, bringing together participants frombusiness, academia and government in August.



• Publications included two books (Macroeconomics for Developing Countries, R Jha, Routledge;Indian Economic Reforms, R Jha (ed.), Palgrave Macmillan); two papers in internationaljournals; six papers in refereed books; and seven working papers.

• Staff participated in the initiation and set-up of the ANU India Forum that will act as anetwork for India enthusiasts, researchers and diverse experts to facilitate meetings, seminars,conferences, and business forums.

INDONESIA PROJECTThe Project continued to focus on its three core activities during 2003: The Bulletin of IndonesianEconomic Studies (BIES), the annual Indonesia Update Conference and Assessment book basedon the conference, and our regular seminar series, the Indonesia Study Group. In addition, wehosted a range of visitors from elsewhere in Australia, Indonesia and other countries, arrangedspecial workshops and conferences on topical issues in Indonesian development, and organisedbook launchings and new publishing arrangements.

The BIES monitored the economic policy challenges and performance of the Megawatigovernment 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 wasattended 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 wereprepared 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 publishedin May under the title Local Power and Politics, which resulted in especially strong sales. A verysuccessful seminar and book launching in Jakarta commemorated the event in the same month.

THE POVERTY RESEARCH CENTREThe Poverty Research Centre was established in 2001 within the Division of Economics. Its aimis to promote high quality research on the measurement of poverty, its social and economiccauses, and the way in which policy interventions, demographic change, technologicaldevelopments and changes in the external environment interact, directly and indirectly, withdomestic institutions to influence the incidence of poverty. The research involves scholars fromfields including economics, demography, anthropology and political science.

During 2003 Professor Peter Warr advised the National Economic and Social DevelopmentBoard in Thailand on its poverty reduction strategy and undertook research on the economics ofpoverty reduction in Thailand. He also acted as a resource person for the Global DevelopmentNetwork’s project on understanding reform. Professor Warr and Dr John Maxwell also undertookseparate studies for the Asian Development Bank Institute on poverty targeting in Thailand andIndonesia respectively.

The Division of Pacific and Asian History’s main research areas are the history of SoutheastAsia, China, Japan, Korea, Papua New Guinea, and the Southwest Pacific. Members of theDivision engage with the major forces of long-term political, social and economic change in theregion. The key research themes of the Division focus around issues of environmental change,resource depletion, ethnic and national identities, intellectual history, and political andconstitutional developments in the region.

Regional events have a high profile in the Australian and international media, and over theyears historians working in the Division have played a key roles as public commentators andexperts on contemporary affairs. During the past year, members of the Division commented inprint and on television on the tumultuous events in the Pacific (Fiji, the Solomon Islands, PapuaNew Guinea and Vanuatu) and Southeast Asia (East Timor, Indonesia). Several of them alsoprovided expert advice to Australian government departments responsible for formulating policyon the region. Their work emphasises yet again the importance of an in-depth historicalperspective as well as cultural and linguistic competence in understanding the underlying issuesof current events.

In addition to maintaining a sustained profile of research, publishing and supervision ofgraduate students, members of the Division also engaged in consultancies and communityservices, providing expert commentary on issues of regional concern. Regularly, they are invitedto make presentations to international conferences on the Asia–Pacific region, and these detailsare 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 usfrom the University of Queensland as a Senior Fellow working on national identity, politicalviolence, environmental politics and historical geography of Indonesia. Dr Cribb is coordinatingthe Asian Studies Association of Australia’s 2004 conference. Professor Kenneth Wells waspromoted to Professor in a joint appointment with the Faculty of Asian Studies to the Chair ofKorean History. He is working on gender movements; the relation between religion, nationalismand social change in modern Korea; and the history of a family whose story reflects the impact ofmajor global developments on 20th century Korean society.

The Division farewelled a longstanding staff member, Professor David Marr, who retired atthe end of the year. Professor Marr has been with the Division for twenty-eight years, and iswidely considered one of the world’s leading historians of Vietnam. His book, Vietnam 1945: thequest for power, was awarded the John King Fairbank Prize in recognition of its seminalcontribution to Vietnamese history. In addition to his own scholarship, Professor Marrsupervised graduate students who themselves have emerged as leading scholars in their ownright. In 2003, Professor Marr served as the Deputy Convenor of the Division.


The Division lost two distinguished colleagues with the death in March of Mr PeterGrimshaw, and in September of Mr Robert Langdon. Mr Grimshaw was the Business Manager ofthe School for 34 years before he retired to the Division to work on his long-delayed manuscripton the history of the police force in Papua New Guinea in which he himself had served. MrLangdon was the founding Executive Officer of the Pacific Manuscripts Bureau for whosetremendous success he deserves full credit. After retiring from that post, Mr Langdon became aVisiting Fellow in the Division where he continued his research in Pacific history and served onthe 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 underthe heading ‘Prizes, honours and awards’.

Along with a number of international visiting fellows from Japan, New Zealand, NewCaledonia, Samoa, Port Moresby and the United States, the Division hosted scholars throughUniversity affiliated exchange agreements. Two PhD scholars on Luce Foundation Fellowships,Ms Tracy Barrett of Cornell University, who is working on the overseas Chinese communities inVietnam, 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 20thcentury Vietnamese intellectual history. We also welcomed two Summer Scholars, Ms DianaAdis of University of New South Wales, whose topic concerns expressions of love, sex andintimacy 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 theIsland Pacific, two from Europe and two from the United States of America. Ten scholars haddegrees conferred and eight submitted their PhD theses during the year.

The Division maintains close links with the State, Society and Governance in MelanesiaProject (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 thework of Professor Hank Nelson and Mr Hegarty, and the Centre for the Study of the ChineseSouthern Diaspora.

CENTRE FOR THE CONTEMPORARY PACIFICMr David Hegarty succeeded Professor Brij V Lal as the Centre’s Executive Director early in2003. 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 afact-finding mission of universities and colleges in Papua New Guinea and Solomon Islands witha view to strengthening the ANU’s contacts with and assistance for teaching and research inthose institutions.

While in Solomon Islands, Mr Hegarty, Dr May and colleagues from the State, Society andGovernance 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 StatesToday’, at the ANU from 8–9 December. The conference reviewed the nature and condition ofstates and territories across the Pacific Islands region — including the Francophone Pacific.Participation by scholars from the University of New Caledonia including the University’sPresident, Professor Paul de Deckker, was a particular highlight.

GRADUATE STUDIES IN INTERNATIONALAFFAIRS PROGRAMThe GSIA attracted a highly qualified group of students to each of its constituent degree andaward programs in 2003. There were 123 students enrolled overall: 36 in the Graduate Diplomain 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 ofAmerica, and Zimbabwe. Thirty-seven students graduated in 2003: 20 in the MA (InternationalRelations) and 17 in the Master of International Affairs.

The Program’s location in the Research School of Pacific and Asian Studies provides anunparalleled opportunity for students to undertake graduate coursework in international affairswith a focus on the Asia–Pacific region. This allows students to complement globally focusedcourses such as Global Security, Global Governance and International Political Economy withregionally oriented courses such as Asia–Pacific Security, Post-Colonial Pacific and GlobalChange, and Ethnicity and Conflict in Asia and the Pacific.

In 2003, two new developments were finalised. Firstly, a partnership was established with theInternational 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 andDecember each year beginning in 2004. Secondly, the GSIA, jointly with the Asia–PacificCollege 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).

DIVISION OF SOCIETY ANDENVIRONMENT

The Division of Society and Environment is the largest Division in the Research School ofPacific and Asian Studies, with 29 academic staff, two adjunct academic staff, 95 postgraduatestudents and 74 Visiting Fellows. It consists basically of four Departments, two Centres and aGraduate Program.

In addition, the Division is home to the Centre for Archaeological Research (CAR) and theCentre for Research on Language Change (CRLC). It also administers the ResourceManagement in Asia Pacific Program (RMAP), the United Nations University Project onPeople, Land and Environmental Change (PLEC), the Land Management Group (LMG), theTransformation 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 tothe social sciences and the humanities. Human impact on the environment, both historical andcontemporary, 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 healthand HIV/AIDS. These are informed by basic research into environmental history, marine andclimate change, tropical ecosystems, faunal extinction, and language and cultural endangermentand loss. A major goal of this research is to contribute to the shaping of a sustainable social andnatural environment across the Asia–Pacific.

The Division has an active fieldwork program which ranges over the whole Asia–Pacificregion. Geographically, the research is concentrated on the cultures and societies within theregion, 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 grantswere awarded to members of the Division and their collaborators totaling $2,724,584.00. Eachgrant will provide research funding for three- to five-year periods.

Four appointments were made during the year: Dr Nicole Haley in Anthropology; Dr KerstyHobson in Human Geography; Dr Beth Evans in Linguistics; and Adjunct Professor AmareswarGalla in Graduate Studies in Sustainable Heritage Development. Mrs Barbara Caiger joined theContemporary China Centre as a Research Assistant, while the Department of Linguisticsfarewelled 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 theAustralian Academy of the Humanities.


The high quality of the work of the support staff of the Division was recognised once againwith two of the RSPAS General Staff Development Awards going to Mr Paul Brugman and MsPeta Hill.

A number of areas in the Division organised major domestic and international conferencesduring the year. More information on the extracurricular commitments of staff members of theDivision 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 newscholars. The Division had 87 PhD and one MPhil scholars enrolled in 2003. Of these, 15 PhDscholars were conferred during the year.

DEPARTMENT OF ANTHROPOLOGYFully staffed and with numerous recent PhD completions, the Department was in a strongposition to take in an unprecedented number of highly qualified new postgraduates from bothAustralia and overseas. With Anthropology colleagues elsewhere on campus, Departmentmembers collaborated in revising the ‘Theory, Methods and Ethics Seminar’ for enteringpostgraduates 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 BridgingCourse 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, MsLaura Yoder, and University of Washington scholar, Ms Duong Bich Hanh, as Southeast AsiaFellows funded by the Luce Foundation. Other international visitors included Professor TakesiKumano of Japan, Dr Christian Cullas of France, Ms Li Quanmin and Professor Yin Shaoting ofthe People’s Republic of China, Dr Arlette Ottino, and Professor Charles Keyes and Dr AndreaMolnar of the USA.

In collaboration with the School of Archaeology and Anthropology in the Faculties, theDepartment 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 andFrancis for TAPJA, and this should greatly increase circulation.

Professor Mark Mosko was selected as Chair-elect of the Association for Social Anthropologyin Oceania. Details of staff members’ research interests are published in the RSPAS Directory ofResearch 2004, which is the companion volume to the RSPAS Annual Report. More details on staffcollaborations and outreach activities can be accessed on the RSPAS web site.

With colleagues in the Department of Human Geography and AusAID, Dr Robinson and DrAndrew McWilliam launched their four-year ARC Linkage project, ‘Negotiating AlternativeEconomic Strategies for Regional Development in Indonesia and the Philippines’.

The Thai-Yunnan Project has continued its strong publications program with two new issuesof 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 KunmingUniversity. An exchange program with IRSEA (France) has been established and a number ofworkshops are planned.



The Department collaborates with the United Nations University in continuing the People,Land and Environmental Change (PLEC) project (http://www.unu.edu/env/plec/) that wascoordinated from the Department between 1993 and 2002. Emeritus Professor Harold Brookfieldand Ms Helen Parsons continued to produce three issues of the electronic periodical PLEC Newsand Views and 24 issues of the information bulletin, PLECserv, which provides reports andabstracts of selected articles of interest to specialists in rural development.

DEPARTMENT OF ARCHAEOLOGY ANDNATURAL HISTORYThe Department continued to expand with five new scholars commencing projects on LordHowe 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: AucklandIsland in southern New Zealand; islands in the north of the Philippines; Batanes; Taiwan; Efateisland (Vanuatu); Timor Leste; Rapa Iti in the Austral Islands of French Polynesia; Paoay Lakein northern Luzon; and the Yaeyama group of the Ryukyu Islands. Detailed profiles of theresearch interests of ANH staff members are available in this Report’s companion volume, theRSPAS Directory of Research 2004.

This was the final year of a major grant from the Sasakawa Foundation for Dr GlennSummerhayes 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 byDr Stuart Bedford of the Auckland Museum. Professor Geoffrey Hope assisted with the Vao fieldschool and demonstrated palaeoenvironmental techniques.

As a result of the January bushfires in Canberra, the Department sustained a major loss withthe destruction of its archive at suburban Weston. This contained thirty years of materials, filmsand documents from most parts of the Pacific and Australia, including the late Rhys Jones’swestern Tasmanian material. With special funding from the ANU, some incombustible parts ofthe collections, such as pottery and stone tools, were excavated from the ashes by Ms Mary ClareSwete-Kelly and Ms Sarah Phear, with assistance from many students, and the advice of MrWallace Ambrose.

Professor Hope was appointed to the Natural Systems Recovery Group of the AustralianCapital Territory (ACT) and developed a mire monitoring program at selected bogs in theAustralian Capital Territory and New South Wales as well as advising on remedial measuresfollowing the bushfires.

The Department took delivery of an auto microwave digester to facilitate phytolith andother sample preparation and staff received training on its safe operation. Other equipmentgained from a Major Equipment Committee grant includes ground radar and a Geocorehammered corer. Also, Dr Alan Watchman installed a powerful laser for ablation of thin layersin his laboratory.

Success in three ARC Discovery and Linkage grants will add two postdoctoral staff and morePhD scholars to the Department in 2004.

DEPARTMENT OF HUMAN GEOGRAPHYThe Department of Human Geography continued to develop and consolidate its researchstrengths and graduate training activities during 2003.

Two doctoral scholars were recruited to the research team of Professor Katherine Gibson, DrsDeirdre McKay, Katherine Robinson and Andrew McWilliam, and research assistant Ms AnnHill. The first project workshop was held in July when the research team was joined by NGOrepresentatives Tofiq Rachman and May-An Villalba from Indonesia and the Philippinesrespectively, and representatives from AusAID’s Indonesia and Philippines desks. TheCommunity Economies project web site is www.communityeconomies.org

Members of the Department gave presentations at 11 major conferences and specialist forahosted by professional bodies around the world. More information on staff presentations atconferences and other teaching and extra curricular activities are available on the RSPAS website http://rspas.anu.edu.au/annual_reports/collaboration.php under ‘Collaborations andOutreach’. The RSPAS Annual Report’s companion volume, Directory of Research 2004, detailsthe research interests of academic staff.

Postgraduate training in the Department was considerably strengthened with theintroduction of a new graduate program for incoming students led by Professor Gibson, and DrBryant Allen and Dr McKay. The Department also held a three-day writing workshop forcontinuing and new graduate students and their academic supervisors at the ANU’s Coastal


Campus, Kioloa, between 7 and 9 May. The three new scholars to the Department, Ms MichelleCarnegie, Ms Amanda Cahill and Ms Tina Jaskolski, are preparing for field research in EasternIndonesia (Flores), the Southern Philippines (Bohol) and Bali, respectively. Ms Rie Makita whojoined the Department mid-2002 is conducting field research in Bangladesh. During the year MsCatharina Williams had her PhD conferred and Mr Michael Lowe submitted his thesis.

Late in the year the Department welcomed the arrival of Dr Kersty Hobson who is taking upa five-year Research Fellowship.

The Land Management Group (http://rspas.anu.edu.au/lmg/) completed a number ofmilestones in a major consultancy to AusAID on information for rural development. A visit wasmade to PNG to collect recently published and unpublished reports and to install and train usersin the PNG Agricultural Bibliography. Mrs Veerle Vlassak, Ms Tracy Harwood and Ms AlysonWright continued with the updating and editing of the Bibliography and with data entry andediting of a colletion of long-run data on aspects of agriculture in PNG. Mr Matthew Allenjoined the Group to oversee the completion of this report. Dr Allen and Dr Michael Bourke aremembers 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 coralreef ecosystems in PNG for the Millennium Assessment.

Visitors to the LMG included Dr Sergeo Bang and Dr Alfred Hartemink, International SoilReference and Information Centre, Wageningen University in the Netherlands.

The Department’s administrative and research work continues to be admirably supported bygeneral staff members Mrs Winifred Loy and Ms Sandra Davenport.

DEPARTMENT OF LINGUISTICSThe Department continued its program of research on the languages of Southeast Asia and thePacific. Staff and scholars are currently doing in-depth analysis of 18 languages of the region, inIndonesia, the Philippines, Taiwan, Laos and Cambodia, Papua New Guinea, Vanuatu, Fiji, andTahiti, 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 thesecond in a series of five volumes that uses comparative lexicon to reconstruct the culture andenvironment of the speakers of Proto Oceanic, whose descendants spread across the southwestand central Pacific some 3000 years ago.

In June, Dr Bethwyn Evans was appointed to the The Lexicon of Proto Oceanic project as aResearch 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 primarilyon the typesetting and copyediting of Pacific Linguistics books, left to take up a full-time postwith the Manager of RSPAS.

Under the managing editorship of Dr Ross and Dr John Bowden, Pacific Linguisticspublished 17 books during the year.

The long awaited title, A Dictionary of Buin, a Language of Bougainville, by a former memberof the Department, the late Donald Laycock, was also published by Pacific Linguistics. When hedied in 1989, Dr Layock had completed most of the work on the dictionary. The task of editingit for publication was taken on by Dr Masayuki Onishi, a former ANU graduate who is currentlya Visiting Fellow in the Department.

The Department of Linguistics is in its first year of partnership with the Universities ofSydney and Melbourne to establish a Pacific and Regional Languages Distributed Archive(PARLDA), to digitise field recordings of language and music made by researchers working inthe Asia–Pacific region. PARLDA is supported by an ARC Linkage grant and has digitised 500hours of recordings during the year.

The fledgling Centre for the Research on Language Change continued to grow inmembership 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’scompanion volume, the RSPAS Directory of Research 2004. Their collaborations with otheruniversities and institutions and extracurricular research commitments are also available on theRSPAS web site, under the heading ‘Collaborations and Outreach’.

Research highlights

• Dr Robin Hide and Professor Pawley completed the editing of a very special ethnobiologicalbook, Animals the Ancestors Hunted: an account of the wild mammals of the Kalam area, PapuaNew 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 byCrawford House Australia.

• Pacific Linguistics published The Physical Environment, Volume 2 of the five-volume seriesThe Lexicon of Proto Oceanic. The Culture and Environment of Ancestral Oceanic Society (Ross,Pawley and Osmond).


• 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 completethe 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 theExpression of Cultural Chance in the Francophone Pacific’.

CONTEMPORARY CHINA CENTREThe research of the Contemporary China Centre focuses on the domestic politics, societies andeconomies 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 ofacademic 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 studentsare 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 MelSouthwell-Lee, Dr Graeme Smith and Ms Lynette Ong, arrived to undertake dissertations. MsOng is formally with the Faculty of Asian Studies but is hosted and accommodated at theCentre. 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 projectexamining punishment in modern China. Professor Unger is one of the Principal Investigators; andDr Borge Bakken, the new project’s Senior Research Associate, will be hosted for the next threeyears 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 centuryanniversary during 2003. Mr Barry Howarth, the Assistant Editor, took retirement in March, anda new Assistant Editor, Mrs Janelle Caiger, took up the post in October. The China Journalcontinues to be ranked among the most-cited area studies journals in the world.




Research highlights

• Dr Anita Chan and Professor Unger lived in the city of Chengdu, Sichuan province, for thefirst part of the year in order to interview factory employees for an ARC Discovery grantproject (and forthcoming book) on the transformation of a state-owned factory.

• Mr Ben Hillman, one of the Centre’s Doctoral scholars, spent half the year conductingresearch in the countryside of Shangri-la, Yunnan province.

• Dr Andrew Kipnis conducted research on education reform at several sites in north China. • Dr Luigi Tomba lived in a middle-class neighbourhood in Beijing in order to conduct research

for a forthcoming book on class formation and the rise of a new urban middle class in China.


• Mr Hillman was inducted as an honorary member of an Yi clan in Yunnan, an honour that isvery rarely bestowed. This was a result of his successful efforts to help the clan revive ahandicraft tradition of lacquerware and to establish a community-owned lacquerware factory.

• Professor Unger was elected a Fellow of the Australian Academy of the Humanities.

CENTRE FOR ARCHAEOLOGICAL RESEARCHThe 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 theANU campus, most of them also members of the National Institutes. They are involved inresearch 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 672Canberrans in the Easter Monday Honours List, and among those were 13 CAR members.

Professor Matthew Spriggs succeeded Professor Atholl Anderson as Director of CAR fromthe beginning of 2003 and Dr Glenn Summerhayes became Associate Director. In the 2002Australian Research Council round, CAR members were awarded a total of 1.2 million dollarsin research grants, and topped this with a further 1.4 million in 2003 in five new Discovery andLinkage grants.

Members of the Centre organised the annual Australian Archaeological AssociationConference 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 andthe region”. Professor Matthew Johnson of the University of Durham, UK, gave the plenaryaddress.

CAR was a major sponsor of the inaugural National Archaeology Week 2003, whichsuccessfully raised public awareness about archaeology and the work of Australian archaeologists.Public lectures included one by Professor Anderson, in the National Institute for Asia andPacific Series, titled Taking to the Boats: the prehistory of Indo-Pacific colonization. This waspresented at the National Museum of Australia.

The visit of University College London archaeologist Professor Barbara Bender to participatein a Visiting Scholars Workshop at the Centre for Cross-Cultural Research (CCCR) was the



occasion for a welcome co-sponsorship of her public lecture at Old Canberra House. ProfessorBender spoke on ‘Walking/Working at the Bronze Age Settlement of Leskernick on BodminMoor, Cornwall’.

In addition, our weekly seminar series continued through the year and a popular series ofdiscussion 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 atthe 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 willcontinue to provide radiocarbon dates during 2004 through an arrangement with the Universityof Waikato, New Zealand. In addition some $16,000 was disbursed to staff and scholars from ourNew Initiatives Fund. Another example of cross-campus collaboration was the success at the endof 2002 of ANU archaeologists and others in obtaining a grant from the Major EquipmentCommittee 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 establishmentof a Dorothy Cameron Prize for the best publication of the year in archaeology by an ANUstudent. Small grants will also be available from this fund to help scholars get their workpublished.

Finally, we have worked towards a future for CAR by putting up a network of archaeologicalscientists at ANU on the CAR web site and by preparing an application for a Centre forArchaeological Science, for which we will be seeking funding during 2004.


• Professors A Anderson, P Bellwood, J Chappell, G Clarke, G Connah, J Golson, C Groves,I McBryde, J Mulvaney, and M Spriggs, and Drs J Flood, B Meehan, A Thorne andA Watchman were awarded Commonwealth Centenary Medals.

• 1.4 million dollars were awarded for five ARC Discovery and Linkage grants.

GRADUATE STUDIES IN SUSTAINABLEHERITAGE DEVELOPMENTGraduate Studies in Sustainable Heritage Development (GSSHD) is a partnership programbringing together local, regional, national and international agencies, researchers and educatorsin addressing arts, culture, museums, heritage and environment within the framework ofsustainable development. Mr Roger Beal, AM, Secretary of the Department of Environment andHeritage 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 Dayat the ANU.

The program is the first of its kind in the world for not only using multi-mode delivery in realand virtual spaces for learning and research, but also centring integrated environmental andholistic heritage management that brings together tangible and intangible, movable andimmovable, natural and cultural heritage resources. The program is established at the request ofinternational professional bodies and inter-governmental agencies such as the United NationsEducational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO) following the outcomes of theWorld Summit on Sustainable Development, Johannesburg, and the Stockholm Action Plan ofthe Inter-Governmental Conference on Cultural Policies in Development.

The faculty of the program draws on the collective expertise of the National Institutes at theANU and the heritage institutions in Australia, as well as national and international expertsand scholars, through an innovative extended faculty that instructs in virtual space and comestogether in face-to-face field intensives, summer schools and symposia.

In addressing contemporary concerns, the GSSHD Program organised a public forum at theNational Museum of Australia in March during the Iraq War on the protection of culturalproperty during armed conflict, and then played an active role in the first coordinated approachto assisting Iraq with restoring its cultural heritage through the Cultural Heritage ReferenceGroup for Iraq of the Australian Government. Similarly the Program organised (with the IndianParliamentary Forum and UNESCO) a special session in July on the protection of culturalheritage, and the prevention of illicit traffic in cultural property, and the Director of Studies ofGSSHD addressed members of the Upper House of the Indian Parliament.

In launching individual courses, the GSSHD Program road-tested its curricula for anintensive field school on international legal instruments with the protection of cultural propertyin Sri Lanka in August. There were 60 participants and students from all the South Asiancountries, INTERPOL, UNESCO, the International Council of Museums and the WorldCustoms Organisation. The first Heritage Action Field School, focusing on culture in poverty



alleviation, was conducted during December in Vietnam in collaboration with the Ministry ofCulture 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 Culturein Development at the ANU. This includes local partnerships with the Australian LocalGovernment Association, Federation of Ethnic Communities’ Councils of Australia, UNESCOAsia Pacific Focal Point for World Heritage Areas, and the Department of Environment andHeritage, Parklands – Sydney Olympic Park Authority.

The foundation year of the GSSHD will lead into 2004 with a heritage in sustainabledevelopment Program of excellence in teaching, research and developmental activities ofnational and international significance, and provide leadership for the protection and promotionof the bio-diversity and cultural diversity of the Asia–Pacific region in the face of acceleratingglobalisation forces.

Research highlights

• Professors Amareswar Galla, Lyndel Prott and Patrick O’Keefe initiated case study researchon illicit traffic in cultural property in partnership with the International Council ofMuseums, Paris, and the International Institute for Asian Studies in Leiden.

• Professor Galla completed the manuscript of a substantial research volume on Ha Long BayEcomuseum, Vietnam.

• Professor Galla received a grant of $56,000 to edit the proceedings of substantive papers fromShanghai that informed the drafting and adoption of the International Convention on theProtection of Intangible Heritage of UNESCO in 2003.

• UNESCO Paris has signed a contract to research and establish the Asia Pacific Observatoryfor Cultural Polices in Sustainable Development in Canberra.

RSPAS SCHOOL ADMINISTRATIONThe School’s administration experienced many challenges and successes in 2003. Theadministrative sections are responsible for information technology services, grants and businessdevelopment, financial management, facilities and operations, human resource management,geospatial and cartographic services, and publishing and imaging. Publishing, Distribution andImaging has provided a separate report which follows.

The January fires impacted on the School and its staff both professionally and personallyand, fortunately, no staff or associates were injured. However, the Weston store that housed ourlarge archaeological sample collection was destroyed. By the end of the year a significant efforthad been made to salvage and relocate useable remaining samples.

Highlights from information technology include establishing a standard platform andimplementing it, developing backend patching and virus elimination, coordinating aDigitisation Working Group, establishing a Web Development Working Group, and resurrectingthe School’s Information Technology Committee. Ms Michelle Mousdale and her staff worktirelessly to maintain an exceptionally high level of IT service.

As the Director has reported, the School’s success rate in attracting ARC funding wasoutstanding. Both Ms Judith Pabian and Ms Birgit Flatow provided excellent support to RSPASapplicants. The newly created position of Business Development Officer, filled by Ms Flatow latein the year, will focus on attracting other external funding.

The School continues its strong financial performance. Dr Katy Gillette and Ms Dzung Phanreviewed and reorganised its special purpose funds, creating a suite of international scholarshipsto attract the world’s top students. Ms Margueritte Conaghan worked unstintingly to refine thedetailed methodology for performance-based budget allocation to Divisions. Ms Sue Lawrenceadded the School’s human resource management to her portfolio of responsibilities andcontinues to provide creative solutions and vital corporate memory.

Again, the General Staff Development Award program was conducted although in arevamped form which now offers support funding under four categories of activities: Personal andProfessional Development, Higher Education Encouragement, Rapid Response Grants and aCorporate Prize.

Dr Gillette and Ms Lawrence participated in the working party overseeing the constructionof the Coombs Building extension and refurbishment planning of the existing building. In themeantime, the School faces a space crisis, which will not be eased by completion of theextension. As this crisis consumes financial and human resources, addressing the problem is apriority for all parts of the School.



The School continues to manage the North Australia Research Unit in Darwin. The SiteManager, Mr Lyle Hebb, has developed rejuvenation plans for this facility and the School isproviding financial support to implement some of these. The new Arafura Timor ResearchFacility (ATRF) will be constructed on the site in 2004 and Mr Stuart Fitch was appointed as itsCEO in late 2003. Mr Hebb is providing day-to-day support for the project and participates onthe ATRF Development Working Group.


Staff who received RSPAS 2003 General Staff Development Awards were: Ms Judith Shanahan(Information Technology Services); Mr Paul Brugman (Geospatial Information Unit); Ms KayDancey (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).

Through the RSPAS Bookshop and its online facilities, PDI distributes works producedwithin the School and the ANU community.

The photography unit of PDI experienced a busy year with increased activity in the digitalarea in addition to their commitments to School projects, RSSS, and the National Institute ofAsia and the Pacific. Photography was called on to document the destruction of the ANU’sMount Stromlo Observatory in the Canberra bushfires in January. Bob Cooper and Darren Boydspent many days completing the task. The resulting images were scanned and uploaded to theweb and will become part of the University’s archives. Images were published around the worldas the astronomy community came to terms with the disaster. Both photographers were involvedin a digitisation project for the Noel Butlin Archives Centre, and work continued towardsestablishing a digital archive of the unit’s photograph collection.

PANDANUS BOOKS Pandanus Books was established in 2001 within PDI and was approved as an accreditedpublisher by the Department of Education, Science and Technology in April 2002.

While the staff members of PDI and Pandanus Books are essentially the same, PandanusBooks — following DETYA guidelines for accredited publishing — is distinguished from PDI inthat it is an editorially independent publishing entity that focuses solely on publishing,


distributing and marketing specifically identified commercially viable works. Pandanus Books isassisted 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 ofPandanus Books for Australia and New Zealand in August 2001. UNIREPS is a specialistAustralian academic and general sales marketing and distribution force owned by the Universityof 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 ofConversations, a bi-annual journal jointly published by Pandanus Books and the Centre for theContemporary Pacific, Division of Pacific and Asian History.

Electronic editions of all our titles are distributed to the international academic and librarymarket via two US-based electronic distributors, ebrary.com and netLibrary.com. University ofHawai’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. Wereach the New Zealand trade market via Addenda, a publishing and distribution company inAuckland, and the UK and Europe markets via Asian Studies Book Services, based in TheNetherlands.

RESOURCE MANAGEMENT IN ASIA–PACIFICPROGRAMThe RMAP Program is the main vehicle through which the Research School of Pacific andAsian Studies participates in the newly established National Institute for Environment at TheAustralian National University.

RMAP’s mission is to establish itself as the focal point in a regional network of institutionsthat undertake or use research on the social, political, economic, and ecological aspects ofenvironmental and resource management issues in the Asia–Pacific region. The principalresource ‘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 theirqualifications in one of the specific disciplines represented in the School, and their contributionto the supervision of postgraduate students enrolled in the Departments which represent thosedisciplines.

In 2003, the RMAP Program was granted approval to start enrolling PhD scholars in thefields of Anthropology or Environment and Resource Management, and anticipates anenrolment 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 industryThere is a growing body of evidence that developing countries and countries in transition havenot been able to exploit their natural resources to bring about a sustained process of social andeconomic development. A recent World Bank study suggests a very strong link between thepredation of resource rents and the incidence of internal political conflict in these countries. Keyresearch 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 cancontribute to sustainable development and good governance in the region.

Scaling ecosystem change in time and spaceIt is becoming increasingly apparent that long-lasting land use legacies need to be part ofpresent-day environmental assessment and natural resource management. Multi-disciplinaryanalysis of long-term climatic, vegetational and landscape changes can provide essentialbaseline data for realistic modeling and prediction of future changes and their impacts as canchanges in human consumption, management and exploitation of ecosystems, landscapes ornatural resources.

Local knowledge, common property, community practice

There is widespread debate about the relationship between systems of ‘rational’, scientificknowledge and local, traditional or indigenous knowledge in the management of naturalresources. However, it is unclear how the status accorded to these latter forms of knowledgerelates to the willingness and ability of local or indigenous communities to play an effective rolein the management of specific resources. The construction and application of local (or





indigenous) knowledge by local (or indigenous) communities therefore needs to be understoodas one aspect of the wider relationship between laws, institutions and policies formulated at anumber of different scales, within specific sectors and jurisdictions.

Agricultural landscapes and catchment processes

New cultivation regimes, new forms of state regulation, and strengthened linkages betweenagricultural and non-agricultural sectors mean that rural resource management institutions facean array of new challenges. Institutions are adapting to manage resource constraints at variousscales: households are adjusting their ‘mix’ of productive enterprises; communities are exploringnew ways of regulating the use of land, water and forest resources; and regional bodies are beingformed to manage the socio-economic and biophysical interconnections in complex catchmentsystems. The key research challenge is to strengthen our understanding of the impact of socialand environmental change on agricultural sustainability and livelihood security.

STATE, SOCIETY AND GOVERNANCE INMELANESIA PROJECTThe State, Society and Governance in Melanesia (SSGM) Project was established by the ANUin 1996 to address the perceived crises of government and state–society relations afflicting statesin the Melanesian region. The Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade and AusAID,recognising the value to the Australian policy community of expanded scholarship on thisimportant region, have supported the Project from the outset with funding for outreach andadministrative 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 willconcentrate on gender issues in relation to law and order in Papua New Guinea, and otherPacific nations.

Dr Vicki Luker was appointed Visiting Fellow and her research interests on HIV AIDS in thePacific will focus on the diverse and difficult policy challenges which this issue presents for theregion.

Mr Anthony Regan continues to work with AusAID on the implementation of theconstitutional arrangements under the Bougainville Peace Agreement of August 2001. Otherstaff members’ research interests are detailed in the RSPAS publication, Directory of Research2003, the companion volume to the Annual Report.

Seven SSGM conferences and a further three collaborative workshops focused on themes ofcurrent concern to the Pacific states, being conflict, peacebuilding and corruption. Eleven seminarsand eight background briefings were organised by SSGM. Seminar speakers included visitinginternational scholars and senior diplomatic and government officials and attracted audiences fromboth academic and policy communities. Further information on staff members academiccommitments and advisory undertakings are available under the heading Collaborations andOutreach on the RSPAS web site http://rspas.anu.edu.au/annual_reports/collaboration.php Twostaff members whose expertise is in conflict and resolution were engaged in consultancies incountries outside the region.

Research highlights

• The Project conducted two regional based conferences drawing on the research of scholarsfrom the SSGM Project and Pacific Island institutions. ‘The Local-Level Governance in thePacific Conference’ was held at The Australian National University in May, and TheGovernance and Civil Society in the Pacific Conference on ‘Governance in Pacific States:Reassessing roles and remedies symposium’, was held in Suva, Fiji, in September.

• SSGM Project scholars were commissioned by the Department of Defence and ForeignAffairs to write a collaborative research paper ‘Solomon Islands: Post-stabilisation policyoptions’.


• Mr David Hegarty was awarded an ARC grant to develop a Pacific Futures Network whichwill interweave security, governance and development issues in the Pacific Islands Region.




• Dr Sinclair Dinnen and Dr McLeod designed a new course for 2004 on Law, Order andConflict in the Pacific for MA in Applied Anthropology, Anthropology Faculty, ANU.
