on significant international research
The output of publications for 2006
boasted four sole-authored books and two
jointly-edited books, a special guest-edited
edition of an international journal as well as
11 book chapters and 13 refereed journal
articles. In addition to this, the Centre’s
online Working Paper series generated
eleven new papers, bringing the total in the
longstanding series to139 by the end of
the year. Meanwhile, as more phases of the

East and Southeast Asia.
Another study under the rubric of the
flagship project that was also concluded
in 2006 involved a special guest-edited
issue of Public Organization Review. Entitled
‘Symposium on Statutory Bodies in Hong
Kong and Singapore: Issues and Cases of
Organizational Autonomy and Integration’,
the collection was jointly edited by
Professors Ian Scott and Ian Thynne.
Contributors focused on the conditions
under which statutory bodies have, in some
cases, been able to increase their autonomy
from government while, in others, their
functions have become more closely

by different authors is that neoliberal
globalisation – in the new security context
– is able to accommodate a range of
political regimes rather than exerting any
uniform pressure towards liberal politics.
A further study belonging to the flagship
project, Political Regimes and Media in Asia,
was in an advanced stage of publication
preparation by the end of 2006. The jointly
edited book by Professor Krishna Sen
and Dr Terence Lee will be published by
Routledge in 2007.
The significance of privatisation for security
responses in the region post September
11 was also considered at the meeting.
The research group is working towards an
edited book with the UK publisher Ashgate.
Another new study was launched in
2006 with an October workshop entitled
Mediating Transition to Post-Authoritarian
Indonesia and involved academic and
professional analysts of Indonesia’s
media from Australia, Asia and the US.
The project, which examines the nature
and determinants of media directions in
contemporary Indonesia, is headed by
Professors David Hill and Krishna Sen
and will eventuate in an edited book.
The factors enabling or hampering the
media contributing to political pluralism
in Indonesia are a particular focus of the
project.
Other Projects
In conjunction with the flagship project, a
range of other individual and collaborative
projects by Centre Fellows were completed,
progressed or initiated.
Among these was Dr John McCarthy’s soleauthored book, The Fourth Circle: A Political
Ecology of Sumatra’s Rainforest Frontier
(Stanford University Press). This addresses
the politics of environmental change in
rural Aceh – one of the richest areas of
tropical rainforest in Indonesia. His book
pays special attention to customary (adat)
village and state institutions and the factors
shaping their operations and effectiveness.
Dr McCarthy explains how key actors
interact to manage local resources in ways
that eclipse both adat and formal state
management structures. In particular, the

this study was held at Murdoch University.
The projected outcome is a special issue
of an international journal to be edited by
Professor Garry Rodan and Dr Kanishka
Jayasuriya.
Two individual studies on Indonesia
that also belong to the Political Regimes
and Governance project were nearing
completion by the end of 2006. The first

submission of his manuscript, Aksi, The

webs of power and interest coalescing
around local resources and embedded
in wider social structures are reaping a
devastating environmental toll. The book
is the culmination of work begun during
Dr McCarthy’s Ph D candidature at the Asia
Research Centre and extended on during
his post-doctoral appointments in the
Netherlands and at the Centre.
Three other sole-authored books published
in 2006 had their geneses in Ph D research
undertaken at the Asia Research Centre.
The first of these was Myth, Protest and
Struggle in Okinawa (Routledge) by Dr
Miyume Tanji. Dr Tanji’s study provides
a rich documentation and analysis of the
long history of political and social activism
in Okinawa, with a particular focus on
the contemporary shift away from protest
movements led by political parties and
collective organisations such as trade
unions towards informally organised,
small and individual-based new social
movements. Dr Tanji observes an enduring
sense of marginalisation characterising
Okinawan identity politics that is likely
to be exploited long after the removal of
American military bases from the island.

insights into the way Japanese aid policymaking functions. Contrary to the widely

Takamine maintains that the objectives
are much more complex and dynamic.

Research Collaboration
A feature of some of the major projects
completed or undertaken during the year
was the depth of international research
collaboration involved. Such collaboration
remains central to the Centre’s modus
operandi in pursuit of ambitious and
innovative research of the highest quality.
The publication of the special guest-edited
issue in September of Public Organization
Review – ‘Symposium on Statutory Bodies
in Hong Kong and Singapore: Issues and
Cases of Organizational Autonomy and
Integration’ – was the outcome of a jointly
funded project between the Asia Research
Centre and the Centre for Civil Society
and Governance at the University of Hong
Kong. Further collaboration between the
two centres is anticipated.
Another study in an advanced stage of
progress – Contestation or Regulation? New
Politics in Southeast Asia – involves close
collaboration between the Asia Research
Centre and the Asia Research Institute at
the National University of Singapore. The
study has not only been supported by an
ARC Discovery project grant but also by
contributions from the two centres.
Among the new projects initiated in 2006,
Mediating Transition to Post-Authoritarian
Indonesia was significant for reaching not
only to established researchers in other
academic institutions in Asia and the US,
but for forging links with emerging scholars
in the region as well as journalists and
other practitioner groups. The financial
support of the Asia Pacific Futures Research
Network, backed by the Australian Research
Council, made this possible.

The symposium attracted business people,
public bureaucrats, representatives from
NGOs and others. Like the Japan’s Role in
Asia series, the symposium was possible
because of financial support from the 2006
Australia-Japan Year of Exchange Grassroots Support scheme.
The other public symposium held in 2006
was China’s Rise: Force for Regional Stability
or Regional Friction? This was a joint exercise
in collaboration with the US Consulate
in Perth, The West Australian newspaper
and the Western Australian office of the
Department of Foreign Affairs.
It presented three speakers: Dr Ellen Frost,
who is a Visiting Fellow at the Institute for
International Economics and an Adjunct
Fellow at the National Defense University’s
Institute of National Strategic Studies in
the US, Professor Stuart Harris from the
Department of International Relations at
the Research School of Pacific and Asian
Studies at the Australian National University
and Professor Samuel Makinda of the Asia
Research Centre.
Public interest in the symposium exceeded
seating capacity, nevertheless over 100
people were able to attend the event in
Perth city and it also enjoyed prominent
media coverage.
Another means by which the Centre sought
in 2006 to facilitate public engagement
was through opinion pieces in national and
international newspapers and magazines.
This included articles in The Age, the Wall
Street Journal and Far Eastern Economic
Review.
The eight pieces published covered such
topics as Australian aid and foreign policy
in the Asia-Pacific, the significance of
election results in the region and analysis
of the controversy over the Singapore
government’s restrictions on protest groups
at the World Bank meeting in the city-state.
Centre fellows also gave interviews during
the year for national television and radio
programmes as well as national and
international newspapers and electronic
news providers such as Bloomberg, Reuters
and Dow-Jones.
