About the Centre
For more than two decades, the Asia Research
Centre has been an international leader in the
study of East and Southeast Asia. The Centre’s
researchers and postgraduate students have
undertaken fundamental disciplinary and
interdisciplinary research that examines
a range of social, political, economic and
environmental developments within this
dynamic and important region.
Thematic to Centre research is the analysis
of conflicts in a range of situations. These
include: political and economic regimes;
environmental and natural resources; ethnic,
religious and national identities; cultural and
media systems; and the security of states,
communities and individuals. This research
spans national, sub-national, regional and
international levels.
The Centre encompasses researchers from
three of Murdoch University’s Schools and
provides an intellectual community that
supports them and their research. Centre
Fellows regularly collaborate with other
researchers from universities in the region
and from around the world.
The Centre has a strong postgraduate training
programme and an excellent reputation for
graduating students who have completed
exceptional doctoral theses. The Centre has
a large cohort of domestic and international
students supervised by its internationally
acclaimed researchers.
The Centre’s objectives are:
• Research – to produce high quality
academic research publications for
international and domestic audiences;
• Training – to foster the development of
high quality research graduates; and
• Engagement – to contribute to public
policy debate and public understanding
on issues concerning contemporary Asia.
Through a nationally competitive process,
the Asia Research Centre was established as
a Special Research Centre of the Australian
Research Council in 1991 to provide analysis
of social, political and economic change
in contemporary East and Southeast Asia.
Since the conclusion of this funding in 1999,
to support the Centre has been limited
and mainly from the University’s Schools.
In 2013-15, support was from the Vice
Chancellor’s Strategic Initiative Fund and the
School of Management and Governance.
The implementation of the University’s
Strategic Plan (2012-17) offers opportunities
for the Centre. With research excellence and
internationalisation as key strategies and the
dynamism of the Asian region grounded, the
Centre contributes strongly to the University,
state, nation and region.
The Asia Research Centre is administratively
located in the School of Management
and Governance.

The Centre in 2015
The past year was one of review, change
and significant achievement. 2015 saw the
first review of the Centre for more than a
decade, and the outcome was a welcome
acknowledgement of the Centre’s standing
and achievements over the past five years.
The Centre and University benefited
greatly from the outstanding leadership
and hard work of the Director, Professor
Kevin Hewison. His departure leaves an
important legacy for the Centre’s future
development. Additional retirements and
offers from other universities saw more
senior colleagues also depart Murdoch, and
some new appointments. Amidst the various
dynamics and challenges, 2015 was another
period of superior research productivity.
It is hard to overstate the reputation
of the Centre. It has put Murdoch
University on the national and
international map. The Centre has
gained a reputation as a respected
centre of research excellence that holds
its own against peer institutions at other
universities, including many that are
located within much larger and betterresourced universities.

international conferences. Fabio Scarpello
completed his PhD studies in 2015 and was
subsequently a postdoctoral fellow in an
ARC Discovery Project awarded to Associate
Professor Shahar Hameiri and his collaborator
Professor Caroline Hughes. Several other
students are expected to complete their
studies in 2016.
Research success
As this report indicates in considerable
detail, facing multiple and often competing
demands, Centre Fellows and postgraduate
students have achieved remarkable research
successes. In a tally of research outputs,
Centre Fellows and postgraduate students
published three sole-authored, co-authored
and newly translated books, two edited
collections, four journal special issues, 21
book chapters and 52 scholarly articles in the
year. Many of the articles appeared in some
of the most highly-ranked and peer-reviewed
journals. Beyond publications, our researchers
were highly visible in the international media
and contributed significantly to public policy
debate and public understanding on issues
concerning Asia.
Centre Fellows and students garnered more
than $700,000 in research grants and other
external funding during 2015. We were
pleased to congratulate Professor James
Warren and his team who continued their
excellent track record, receiving an Australian
Research Council Linkage Project grant
valued at more than $374,000. Professor
Neil Loneragan and Associate Professor
Carol Warren gained a grant of $150,000
from the Australian Centre for International
Agricultural Research. The details of these
and seven other grants are listed elsewhere
in this report, as are the 14 ongoing grants
valued at about $3.4 million.

Review, recognition and rankings
The achievements of the Centre were
recognised by the Centre Review, which
determined that the Asia Research Centre
“makes a highly significant contribution to
the University and it has great utility for the
School in which it is located.” More than this,
the Review acknowledged that the Centre
“has put Murdoch University on the national
and international map.” On the research
conducted in the Centre, the Review report
stated that the “quality, volume and impact
of its research outputs mean that the Centre
stands as a ‘beacon of excellence’ within the
University.” Details of the Review are set out
elsewhere in this report.
Research rankings
The Review was followed by the release of
rankings in the Excellence in Research for
Australia (ERA) 2015 and the QS World
University Rankings by Subject 2015. Both
showed that the Review findings on research
quality were in line with these national and
international benchmarks. Also on global
rankings, the Journal of Contemporary Asia,
a journal based in the Centre, was ranked
second amongst Area Studies journals for
impact over the past three years.
Politics and International Studies at Murdoch was also one of only three of the
University’s discipline groups to be ranked in the world’s top 200 in the QS World
University Rankings by Subject 2015.
The Centre’s research environment was
enlivened by a series of public seminars and
academic conferences and workshops that
are outlined in other parts of this report,
together with a regular series of research
seminars where our postgraduate students
report on their progress and discoveries.
In 2015 the Centre co-convened two major
international academic workshops and
two significant international engagement
workshops, each with prominent partner
institutions. The academic workshops were
with Chatham House, home of the Royal
Institute of International Affairs in London,
and Japan’s National Graduate Institute of
Policy Studies (GRIPS) in Tokyo. Partnering
with such internationally acclaimed and
prestigious institutions says much about the
quality and reputation of the Asia Research
Centre. In terms of engagement, the Centre
partnered with the Developmental Leadership
Program, a major international initiative of
the Australian government, and with Kompas,
Indonesia’s most influential media group.
The Indonesia Research Programme was
ably led by Professor Vedi Hadiz. Professor
Hadiz worked exceptionally hard to develop
and deepen Murdoch’s relationship with
Indonesia, building on the Asia Research
Centre’s credibility and profile in Indonesia.
In December 2015, the outcomes of the Excellence in Research for Australia (ERA)
2015 evaluations were released. This assessment comprehensively details the quality
of Australian university research benchmarked against world standards, examining
publications over the last six years and research income and other measures over the
past three years.
The majority of researchers associated with the Asia Research Centre are in the
disciplines of Political Science and Historical Studies. Both disciplines received a
ranking of 4. This ranking means that the discipline profile is characterised by
evidence of performance above world standard presented by the suite of indicators
used for evaluation. Political Science at Murdoch ranked in Australia’s top 10 and
No.1 in Western Australia.
In 2015, the pan-university Programme saw
links made between Murdoch researchers
and Indonesian businesses, researchers,
universities and government institutions.
Among its noteworthy achievements,
Murdoch scholars worked intensively with
Indonesian colleagues to enhance the
capacity for research training. This training
involved two of Indonesia’s top-ranked
universities, the University of Indonesia
and the Bogor Agricultural University.
These projects should mean that candidates
for postgraduate training at Murdoch have
high-quality research skills when they begin
their studies.
As in previous years, Centre Fellows received
recognition from their colleagues and others.
Dr Jacqui Baker was elected President of
the Indonesia Council until 2020. As an
early career scholar, such recognition is
impressive. Dr Jeffrey Wilson, also an early
career researcher with a bright future, had his
already significant achievements recognised
when he received the Vice-Chancellor’s
Excellence in Research Award. Professor David
Hill was appointed a Member of the Order of
Australia for his long and meritorious service
as an advocate of Australia-Indonesia crosscultural understanding and as an educator.
Professor Peter McKiernan’s distinguished
service to his profession was recognised by
the British Academy of Management, with the
Richard Whipp Lifetime Achievement Award.
Finally, Professor Xiaowen Tian received the
Best Paper Award at the Australian Academy
of Business and Social Sciences Asia Pacific
Conference on Business and Social Science.
We celebrate the accomplishments of these
Centre Fellows.
For the second year in succession, the
quality of our postgraduate students and
their training has been acknowledged. With
Dr Charanpal Bal having won the award
in 2014, in 2015, Dr Stephanie Chok was
runner-up for the Asian Studies Association of
Australia Presidents’ Prize for the best thesis
in Asian Studies in 2014. We congratulate
Stephi and her supervisors Associate Professor
Carol Warren, Dr Jane Hutchison and
Emeritus Associate Professor Jim Macbeth.

Departures and future
opportunities
Among the departures by the end of 2015
was the retirement of Centre Director
Professor Kevin Hewison, who is among the
most distinguished graduates of Murdoch
University to pursue an academic career.
He played a major role in the early years
of the Asia Research Centre before holding
various senior positions at universities
in Australia, Asia and North America –
including most recently as Director of the
Carolina Asia Centre at the University of
North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where he was
also the Weldon E. Thornton Distinguished
Professor of Asian Studies. Such a prestigious
award acknowledged Professor Hewison’s
intellectual leadership in the political
economy analysis of Southeast Asia and his
preeminent contribution to the understanding
of contemporary Thai society, polity and
economy – as did his election to the Academy
of Social Sciences in Australia in 2012.
Professor Hewison was attracted back to
his alma mater in early 2013 as part of a
renewed Murdoch emphasis on high-quality
research and teaching. He was a tireless
champion of this cause. During his tenure,
the Centre consolidated its reputation for
combined achievements in research and
teaching, as recognised by various rankings
and the Centre Review. His departure is thus
a major loss, but we thank him and wish
him a rich and enjoyable ‘retirement’, which
involves various continuing professional
activities including as editor-in-chief of the
Journal of Contemporary Asia.
In late 2015, Professor David Hill also retired
from the University to become an Emeritus
Professor in the Asia Research Centre. This
retirement follows a distinguished career
as a researcher, teacher and as one of the
University’s most assiduous networkers. He
secured multiple Australian Research Council
(ARC) grants for his influential books on
Indonesian media in particular. He was also
the founder and Director of the Australian
Consortium for In-Country Indonesian Studies
(ACICIS) for furthering study in Indonesia.
ACICIS generated a high national profile
and reputation for Murdoch. Professor Hill
promoted Asian Studies and the study of
Indonesia to business, politicians and in the
media with an infectious enthusiasm that
made him a recognised leader in his field.
6
Overall, the Centre runs on an extremely lean operating model: all major
staffing costs are carried by the fellows’ respective Schools, which in turn benefit
from the teaching, service and research successes of the Centre fellows and the
postgraduate students they supervise.
- Centre Review
On his retirement, Professor Hill also stepped
down from his position as Chair of the
Centre’s Board, a position he has held for
several years. We are grateful to Professor Hill
for all that he has done for the Centre and for
the University.
We are fortunate that Professor Hill’s position
as Chair of the Centre Board has been taken
up by another long-time Murdoch identity
and highly productive researcher, Professor
Neil Loneragan, from Environmental and
Conservation Sciences in the School of
Veterinary and Life Sciences. Professor
Loneragan brings a wealth of experience
to the Centre’s management and is one of
the pioneers, along with Dr Carol Warren,
of research that spans the sciences, social
sciences and humanities.
Two other researchers who have made
substantial contributions to the Centre also
accepted offers from other universities before
the end of 2015: Professor Vedi Hadiz
and Associate Professor Shahar Hameiri,
respectively destined for the University of
Melbourne and the University of Queensland
in 2016.
Professor Hadiz completed his PhD at
the Centre in 1996 before working at
the National University of Singapoe. He
returned to the Centre through the award
of an ARC Future Fellowship in 2010 to
analyse Islamic populism in Indonesia
and the Middle East and was appointed
a Professor of Asian Societies and Politics
at Murdoch. His publications on Indonesia
– both his sole authored and co-authored
with Emeritus Professor Richard Robison
– have fundamentally shaped debate over
political change in that country. Not only
did Professor Hadiz significantly boost
the Centre’s intake of PhD candidates
and completions from Indonesia, but, as
mentioned above, he was pivotal to opening
up wider Murdoch University research links
with Indonesian universities.
Following the award of his PhD in 2009,
Associate Professor Hameiri quickly
established an international reputation for
innovative political economy work on the
evolving forms and underlying dynamics of
state and trans-state governance regimes,
including non-traditional security threats
and risks. Prodigiously productive, through
sole authored publications and international
collaborations, Associate Professor Hameiri
attracted ARC funding from the outset of
his career. He also played a critical role as
coordinator of postgraduate studies within
the Centre.
While we will miss the direct contributions
of these colleagues to the Centre, research
collaborations are continuing, including
through prospective future grant applications
nationally and internationally.
In 2015, we also farewelled other more
recent colleagues of the Centre – Professor
Ann Capling who returned to Melbourne,
Professor Diane Stone who took up a
prestigious professorial position at the
University of Canberra, and Professor
Peter McKiernan who returned to Europe.
These were all respected and productive
colleagues and we wish them well in their
new endeavours.
Against this background, in late 2015 the
University supported the appointment of
several new replacement positions to be
ushered in at different times from 2016.
An especially important such appointment
was that of Kanishka Jayasuriya, the Director
of the Indo-Pacific Governance Research
Centre and Professor of Politics at the
University of Adelaide. As Professor of
Politics and International Studies at Murdoch,
he will head the Politics discipline and add
considerable intellectual, strategic and
mentoring capacity to the Centre.
He has been appointed to the Centre’s
Board of Management. Dr Vicki Mason is
coming to Murdoch from the Australian
National University in mid-2016 and has
expertise in the areas of critical and human
security, particularly in relation to West Asia
– notably Middle-East. She will be followed
in early 2017 by Dr Kim Maloney who
works on global public administration and
she has considerable experience working for
international organisations and agencies.
Finally, we bade a sad goodbye to
postgraduate student Yanti Muchtar, who
passed away after a long struggle with
illness. Yanti was a dynamic figure in the
Centre and is greatly missed. We celebrate
her life and work in an edited version of a
tribute to Yanti by her fellow students on
this page. In recognition of Yanti, the Asia
Research Centre will purchase a plaque to
be placed on a tree located on the Murdoch
campus near the Centre building.
Yanti Muchtar
16 June1962 – 17 November 2015
Support
Support for the Centre during 2015
included the Director’s salary paid by the
Vice Chancellor’s Strategic Initiative Fund
together with limited budget support and
seed funds. Apart from this, the School of
Management and Governance paid for all
of the Centre’s basic activities, supplies and
space. It also provided salary for a Centre
administrator. We are exceptionally grateful
for this support. At the same time, as budgets
have tightened, funding to the Centre has
been reduced and remains tenuous. The
Centre Review, however, contains constructive
suggestions on this matter.
Special thanks are due to Professor Peter
McKiernan as the outgoing Dean of the
School of Management and Governance for
his support of the Centre. His unsurpassed
ability to understand the Centre’s research
endeavours always informed his advice to
Director Kevin Hewison. Sia Kozlowski, the
Centre Manager, worked long, hard and
effectively for the Centre, its Fellows and the
postgraduate students.
Garry Rodan
Incoming Director from 1 January 2016
We at the Asia Research Centre lost a friend and a scholar in November. We were
privileged to have been Yanti Muchtar’s friends and colleagues. Yanti was an
incredibly popular person with a positive influence on all those around her.
Yanti began her PhD in 2011 and developed deep friendships with her cohort and
colleagues at the Asia Research Centre. She was already well-known in Indonesia as
an activist. She stood up for justice and helped her fellows as a feminist, a human
rights activist, a scholar, a mentor and a friend.
She was a founding member of the Women’s Solidarity for Human Rights group
during the 1980s, which represented a reinvigoration of the Indonesian women’s
movement that had been crushed by the Suharto dictatorship. In 2002, Yanti
founded Kapal Perempuan (The Women’s Ship Institute) with a group of like-minded
colleagues. Kapal Perempuan provides education and mentorship for disadvantaged
and marginalised communities and promotes gender empowerment across Indonesia.
As a scholar Yanti sought to blend her activist conviction about the possibility of
transformative politics with her scholarly inquiry about the conditions under which
such transformation can occur. Undertaking a PhD at Murdoch allowed her the
opportunity to deepen her thinking around her activist work in Indonesia.
Yanti’s approach to her feminist work has been a lesson to all those who would
promote social justice. We spent hours discussing gender, pluralism, identity politics
and the theoretical, practical and personal aspects of how to be a good person, a
good feminist. Her compassion and courage as an activist reflected inner well-spring
of empathy with others.
Yanti gave her colleagues support and encouragement. She was an active member
of the Murdoch University Indonesian Student Association and the Association of
Indonesian Postgraduate Students and Scholars in Australia. All of the Indonesian
postgraduate students at Murdoch got to know Yanti, often because she would
take newly arrived students into her home. For new students, meeting Yanti was as
important as going to Orientation.
Yanti was a true friend. Her compassion, sensibility, candour, brightness and
laughter touched the hearts of many. She is greatly missed and fondly remembered.

Centre Review
For the first time in many years, the Asia
Research Centre was reviewed in 2015.
Assessed using broadly the same criteria
as those used for the review of University
Centres and Institutes, the Asia Research Centre
was the first – and, so far, only – School
Centre to be reviewed. The key findings and
recommendations are listed below.
The review team was led by Professor Natasha
Hamilton-Hart of the University of Auckland
Business School and Professor Paul Cammack,
recently retired as the Head of the Department
of Asian and International Studies at the City
University of Hong Kong. They were joined
by Professor David Morrison (Deputy Vice
Chancellor, Research and Development),
Professor Giles Hardy (School of Veterinary
and Life Sciences), Professor Chris Hutchison
(Director of Research and Development) and
Professor Vijay Mishra (School of Arts).
Key Findings
1. The Asia Research Centre makes a highly
significant contribution to the University
and it has great utility for the School in
which it is located. It has put Murdoch
University on the national and international
map.
2. The quality, volume and impact of its
research outputs mean that the Centre
stands as a ‘beacon of excellence’ within
the University.
There can be no doubt that
the Centre fulfils its objectives.
The high quality of the Centre’s
academic publications, the
extent and quality of its research
activities, its continued success
in obtaining Category 1 grants
…, its outreach and engagement
with outside audiences, and its
sustained record of excellence in
nurturing successful postgraduate
research students all stand as
convincing evidence of the
Centre’s contribution to the
University, to the academic
community and to a broader set
of stakeholders.
- Centre Review
8
3. The positive externalities generated by
the Centre are of great value. Its success
in developing a strong research culture,
providing mentoring and intellectual
support to faculty and research students,
and attracting outside research grants
have been outstanding. It is a major factor
driving the ability of the Schools to recruit
high performing faculty and quality
research students.
4. The Centre is well-aligned with the
University’s strategic direction for research.
The core strengths of the Asia Research
Centre in areas of political economy and
environmental issues lie at the heart
of the Murdoch Mandala. These topics
speak strongly to the radial dimension
of sustainable development, with strong
potential complementarities along the other
spokes as well.
5. There is scope to develop fruitful crossfaculty collaborations with colleagues
outside the traditional Social Science and
Humanities disciplinary areas.
6. This is a critical juncture for the Centre,
with the recent or impending loss of seven
senior scholars who have played vital roles
in developing and upholding the Centre’s
research performance, visibility, ability to
attract postgraduate students and ability
to lead major collaborative research
programmes. At the same time, the Centre
does retain several high performing scholars
at both senior and more junior levels,
representing a considerable amount of
human capital.
Summary Recommendations
1. The reputation of the Asia Research Centre
represents an enormous amount of capital
that the University should seek to protect
and develop.
2. The Asia Research Centre’s value-added
services to the School and the University
arise from its catalytic role in generating a
strong research culture through knowledge
sharing, mentoring and collaborative
research. The conditions that have fostered
this record need to be preserved by
ensuring that the University maintains a
critical mass of Asia-focused scholars with
the potential to be part of the scholarly
community that the Centre has fostered.
3. Providing immediate assurances that there
is strong commitment to the Centre at the
University level should be a priority.
4. The Centre should be included as a
prominent University Research Centre
under the proposed Policy on Institutes and
Centres.
5. The Centre should be adequately resourced
in terms of administrative support.
Implementation of the new university Policy
should seek to reduce the administrative
load; if additional administrative
requirements are unavoidable, the Centre
needs to be provided with the resources to
meet them.
6. The staffing issue is urgent and on-going.
In view of the loss of senior fellows, there
needs to be a mechanism in place to
ensure that high performing Asia-focused
researchers are recruited and retained.
7. To this end, there is a need to embed the
Centre’s voice more formally at upper
levels within the University and its hiring
units. There needs to be an institutionalised
mechanism of consultation between the
Centre and the Schools to ensure sufficient
Asia expertise is hired at the School level,
as well as to ensure coordination with
postgraduate programmes and other
teaching matters. The Centre should be
engaged with planning to develop the
strategic directions for University research.
8. The governance structure of the Asia
Research Centre has scope for some
alteration in line with changing
circumstances. The panel proposes a
two-tier structure consisting of an outwardlooking Advisory Board and an internal
Management Committee.

Workshops
The Political Economy of Poor People’s
Politics in Southeast Asia
30 September
Birmingham, UK
Chatham House Workshop on Populism
in World Politics
28-29 May
London, UK
Jane Hutchison was co-convenor of this
Workshop, held at the University of
Birmingham. Her co-convenors were former
Centre Director, Caroline Hughes (Bradford
University) and Wil Hout (ISS, Erasmus
University). Joined by Centre Fellow Ian
Wilson, Netra Eng (CDRI, Cambodia) and
Anggun Susilo (ISS), the group presented
papers and received feedback on research
funded by an ARC Discovery Grant from
UK-based scholars associated with the
Developmental Leadership Program
(DLP) – an international research initiative
that explores how leadership, power and
political processes drive or block successful
development. The DLP is co-funded by DFAT
and DFAT funded the workshop.
Vedi Hadiz was the co-convenor of this
Workshop at Chatham House, The Royal
Institute of International Affairs in London.
He and Centre Director Kevin Hewison
joined with colleagues from Chatham
House, the London School of Economics,
University of Limerick, the School of Oriental
and African Studies and University College
London to examine the rise of populism in
the late 20th and early 21st Centuries. Since
the end of the Cold War the reaction to
what was perceived as Western economic
and cultural dominance took the form
of cultural, religious and fundamentalist
movements espousing a conflicted attitude
towards modernity. However the last
decade has also witnessed a uniform type
of political reaction to the dislocation of
globalisation in multiple world regions:
populism. The workshop brought together
experts in the politics and societies of all
major world regions seeking to explore the
common systemic, historical and social roots
of populist phenomena in world politics.
Papers from the Workshop are being
prepared for a journal special issue.

Indonesia Research
Programme
The Indonesia Research Programme was
officially launched in January 2014 to raise
the visibility of Murdoch University with
Indonesian universities and institutions in
order to encourage collaboration; to broaden,
intensify and coordinate Indonesia-related
engagement across Murdoch’s disciplines
and schools; and to increase Indonesian
postgraduate enrolments. The budget has
been $100,000 per year. The Programme
Director is Professor Vedi Hadiz.
Kompas, the largest circulation daily newspaper
in Indonesia and Southeast Asia, remained an
important partner for Murdoch University. The
Asia Research Centre’s third workshop with
Kompas was held on 27 April 2015, on the
theme of ‘Populist Politics in Southeast Asia:
Transforming or Impending Democracy?’ A
series of articles about the workshop were
printed in Kompas on 9 June 2015, providing
further publicity in Indonesia about Murdoch’s
Indonesia expertise.
Prior to the establishment of the IRP,
Professor Hadiz worked informally towards
these aims for some 18 months, under the
auspices of the Asia Research Centre. The
IRP builds and expands upon long-existing
Indonesia expertise and experience at
Murdoch, including those located at the Asia
Research Centre.
The Programme supported academics from
Bogor Agricultural University (IPB) to attend a
Singapore workshop and conduct joint research
with Dr Navid Moheimani on high-value algae
products. Assistance was also given for the
implementation of a Master Class in Fisheries
for graduate students, and government and
NGO staff, held by Professor Neil Loneragan
at IPB at the end of 2015. These classes could
possibly be extended to other universities and
government bodies if Indonesian government
funding is attained in the near future.
The Indonesian higher education environment
offers considerable opportunities as its
government intends to produce 40,000 new
PhD scholars by 2025 and to increase the
international research output of academics.
There are currently 180,000 full-time and
70,000 part-time lecturers across more
than 3,000 Indonesian tertiary education
institutions – of which only a small fraction
have PhDs.
The Programme has successfully obtained
for Murdoch University the designation
of “priority destination” for holders of
Indonesian Directorate of Higher Education
(DIKTI) scholarships. DIKTI has been the
major source of scholarships, although it will
be superseded by the Indonesia Endowment
Fund for Education (LPDP), run under
the auspices of the Ministry of Finance,
conservatively estimated at $1.5 billion.
In 2015, there was a range of initiatives
with our Indonesian associates, including
support by the Programme for a number of
visits to Murdoch by Indonesian academics,
business persons and government officials.
Such visits were meant to strengthen relations
and explore opportunities for collaboration.
This was further enhanced with Murdoch
academics visiting partners in Indonesia for
staff exchanges, training programmes and
joint research.
The Indonesia Research Programme has
been successful in assisting the University
to increase its enrolments from Indonesia.
The number of Indonesian postgraduate
enrolments at Murdoch continued to grow
in 2015, with 53 such students compared
to just over 20 in 2011. Of these, the Asia
Research Centre supervised 15 in 2015,
compared with four in 2010.
16
With Programme support, Murdoch academics
conducted a pilot project on international
academic writing at University of Indonesia’s
Faculty of Social and Political Sciences, with
sessions held in January, April and August
2015. Such programmes provide impetus for
research co-funding, collaboration and joint
publications. The Indonesian government
scholarship provider Lembaga Pengelolaan
Dana Pendidikan (LPDP) is interested in the
programme as a model, and the pilot project
could be expanded to other Indonesian
universities with possible funding from LPDP
or the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs
and Trade and with the co-operation of other
Australian universities with notable Indonesia
expertise.
Also with Programme support, Murdoch
animal science and agriculture production
experts met with Indonesian businesses in
Jakarta producing pesticides, seeds, fertilisers
and palm oil, as facilitated by Austrade,
to explore collaboration on research and
development. Some of those businesses
subsequently visited Murdoch to discuss
further strategic partnership.
The Indonesia Research Programme’s
continued support of the connection between
Murdoch University’s School of Management
and Governance and Gadjah Mada University’s
Faculty of Social and Political Sciences in
2015 produced the launch of an official
student exchange programme in Politics and
International Studies, saw the start of a joint
degree development scheduled to be finalised
in 2016, and ongoing staff exchange.

The Asia Research
Centre and the
Global Media
With the global mediascape undergoing
substantial change, so the Centre has made
increased use of social media such as Twitter
and YouTube. In addition, Centre researchers
have become more active with media blogs
and as commentators and experts for wire
services and local, regional and international
media that have both print and digital
platforms.
Several Fellows have contributed lively
opinion pieces for many of Australia’s and the
world’s leading media outlets, contributing to
informed public discussion of the important
events in the region. These researchers were
sought out by the media for their informed
opinions on events in Australia and in Asia.
Jacqui Baker, Greg Lopez and Shahar Hameiri
contributed to New Mandala, while James
Boyd, James Warren and Lopez wrote for
Asian Currents. Kevin Hewison and Jeffrey
Wilson each contributed to The Conversation,
and Wilson also wrote for the ABC’s The
Drum. David Hill wrote for the Australian
Financial Review and Vedi Hadiz had his views
at the Policy Forum. Baker contributed an
opinion piece to East Asia Forum.
Further afield, Hewison wrote for Asia
Sentinel, Lopez for the Malay Mail Online, and
Ian Wilson for the Jakarta Post. Hadiz and
Hill separately wrote in Bahasa Indonesia
for Kompas. In the United States, Lopez
contributed a number of commentaries for
the business magazine Forbes, while Garry
Rodan wrote for the highly influential Wall
Street Journal.
Jeffrey Wilson and Hewison made regular
television appearances. Both were guests
on Channel NewsAsia, a Singapore-based
broadcaster that has a wide footprint in the
region. Wilson appeared twice on the ABC’s
national current affairs programme, The 7.30
Report, while Hewison was also interviewed
by Sky News Australia. Radio interviews with
Fellows were heard locally and nationally,
mostly with the ABC.
Several of our researchers were regularly
sought out by the major global news
agencies, such as Associated Press, AFP,
Reuters and Yahoo News. As a result of being
quoted by these global news agencies mean
that their views are carried by hundreds of
newspapers and media sites in thousands of
stories, across the globe.
Some of the local news outlets quoting
Asia Research Centre Fellows have been the
Sydney Morning Herald, The Australian, ABC
News and The Land. In the region, Fellows
were quoted in: Bangkok Post, Krungthep
Thurakij, Chiangrai Times, Kompas, Sumatera
Ekspres, Jakarta Post, Vietnam Plus, Kabari
News, and Inquirer. Internationally, the outlets
seeking commentary from Centre researchers
included: Deutsche Welle, Financial Times,
International Business Times, The Guardian, Wall
Street Journal, Voice of America, the Wall Street
Journal and World Finance.
