Spotlight: Southeast Asian Frontiers – Thailand and Myanmar

“This course centred around three main issues – human trafficking and transnational crime, education in Thailand and Myanmar, and the role of NGOs in the region. It was an eye opening and truly rewarding experience, which allowed me to interact with a range of stakeholders - from government officials to victims of exploitation. This course allowed me to combine my passions for law and the Asia Pacific through writing a research paper on human trafficking law in Thailand.”

M E E T O U R S T U D E N T S A N D F O L L O W T H E I R S T U D Y P A T H S

Sophie Fisher Master of Asian and Pacific Studies“I started with an undergraduate degree in International Relations at ANU specialising in Environmental Policy. After university I started working at the Australian Fisheries Management Authority looking at international compliance policy for shared fish stocks, with a focus in the Asia Pacific region.

I plan to take Indonesian language as part of my degree: it’s a language I have always been interested in and tried to teach myself, but it’s a very useful language for my area of work as well.

Regardless of what your interest is there is a pathway for everyone in the MAPS course. I think learning the skill of being able to take an issue and look at it through a number of different lenses is really vital in informing students’ understanding. The fact that I can be as broad or specific in how I choose to complete my study plan is excellent.”

Eugene Chew Master of Asian and Pacific Studies“The ANU has good researchers and expertise especially in Indonesia and Myanmar, so I chose to come here, from Singapore where I work for the Department of Defence. I am a political science student by training, and came to ANU because I wanted to dig deeper into history, culture and religion to complement my knowledge of contemporary politics.

In this program, you have a lot of personal time with the lecturers, and they make a lot of time to meet you and go through your choice of research to let you do what you are interested in. They really give you that personal time. That has been something I have appreciated very much.”

Here’s how Sophie has chosen to shape her program:

Geoff Piggott Master of Asian and Pacific Studies (Advanced)“I am a school teacher of English, so I have always been interested in literature and representations of people, particularly of people in different parts of the world. That, combined with living and working in India for a couple of years and developed a love of the place, culture and people.

The thing that surprised me most about this program is realising how many different strands of thought exist about my areas of interest and how many opportunities there are to deepen my expertise in a very specialised way.

My MAPS Advanced thesis is focussed on representations of South Asia in English language literature. I have shaped my study plan to reflect, that as well as doing the core units which gave me a good overview of the key ideas in the disciplines. I have looked at Anthropology, Ethnography, and story-telling in South Asian traditions and that led to a thesis about contemporary narrative non-fiction writing about Mumbai and its empathetic potential for Anglophone audiences.”

Ingrid O’Sullivan Master of Asian and Pacific Studies “One of the reasons I moved to Canberra was because ANU is world-renowned for its Asian Studies programs. I am a teacher of Indonesian and I’m interested in a South East Asian perspective.

I came to Indonesian studies through learning about the language and culture, so to research politics or security issues, or Islam, at an academic level certainly adds to my knowledge. I chose the ANU to undertake my Master’s because of the university’s reputation for having the largest concentration of Indonesia specialists and I haven’t been disappointed. The professors here go out of their way to assist you with any questions, lend you books from their personal library and most importantly they give you their time. The diversity of students in the cohort is amazing and I love hearing the perspectives of students from other nationalities – such a variety of people adds an important dimension to my learning.”

Greg Bablis Master of Asian and Pacific Studies (Advanced)“My MAPS Advanced thesis is titled Oral history: the future of Papua New Guinea’s past. I am the Principal Curator of the Modern History Department at the Papua New Guinea National Museum and Art Gallery.

Knowing that ANU has the largest pool of Pacific experts anywhere in the world, I always intended to come to ANU. A lot of the lecturers here used to teach at UPNG and they are intimately acquainted not just with UPNG but with my country’s history.

It was my first choice to be at ANU, but also to be in Canberra because I had the intention of interning at the Australian War Memorial, which I did in my second last semester in MAPS. It was very important for me to build networks and to link with the War Memorial for my department at the PNG Museum. It was good to see the Australian War Memorial use some of the oral histories we collected for one of their exhibitions this year.”

Sita Dewi Master of Asian and Pacific Studies“I chose MAPS because I have a Bachelors in Journalism, and I wanted to do a Masters Degree to sharpen my analytical thinking and knowledge, especially regarding Indonesia in a regional context. The Jakarta Post, where I work, is an English language newspaper, so we have and international audience. That kind of comparative understanding I think is very important. I had worked with ANU Indonesia specialists for a very long time, know them and their work, so I knew ANU and MAPS was the best option.

It’s been fantastic living in Canberra. I am from Jakarta, where it is so busy and the traffic jams are really bad. I really like Jakarta for so many reasons, but being here has been a break from the big city hustle and bustle. I came here with my family, and it’s a perfect place for a family.”

ASIA8020: National and Transnational Histories in Asia and the Pacific

This course is research-led and delivered by a team of ANU specialists including historians, anthropologists, political scientists, and legal experts. Drawing on deep regional and conceptual expertise, weekly seminars will tackle challenges in the region using different interdisciplinary approaches to the nation-state as a unit of analysis. Course themes include sovereignty, nation-building, imperialism and anti-colonialism, nationalism, identities, cultures and ethnicity. Case studies from Thailand, Indonesia, India, Korea, and China will be used explore these key issues. Transnational challenges, including maritime disputes in the South China Sea, disasters and epidemics in the Asia-Pacific and popular culture in Indonesia and Korea are topics students have the opportunity to explore.

ASIA8021: Activism and Social Change in Asia and the Pacific

Through the broad lens of human rights, you will explore a range of disciplinary and case study perspectives to develop a better understanding of key institutions and issues in the Asia-Pacific. Since the adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) by the United Nations in 1948, the notion of universal human rights has been a deeply contested concept. You will look at the philosophical and historical foundations of human rights and consider ways of examining human rights theory and practice. From there you will look at the challenges and issues associated with applying these alleged universal principles across nations with enormous variations in economic and social circumstances as well as across civil and political and cultural traditions. You will also explore disciplinary and methodological approaches to analysing complex social science concepts. These include rights, power, legitimacy, social control, human economic patterns, gender, media, and the family.

ASIA6030: History of the State System in Southeast Asia

Students examine the different types of polity that have been established in the region, and how they defined relations with their neighbours and with the more distant civilizations of China, India and the Muslim world. The course will examine the series of transformations in Southeast Asia’s ‘international’ system which European colonial powers brought about, and will consider Southeast Asia’s influence on the emergence of the global international relations system. Particular attention will be given to the dynamic of decolonization - to the transformation of political identities and the assumptions about state identity and international relations which shaped the present configuration of the region. The course will conclude with a consideration of the making of the post-colonial state system in Southeast Asia, including the creation of the ASEAN regional architecture and attempts to build a regional security community.

ASIA8034: Rethinking Northeast Asia: Region, Culture and Society

Northeast Asia, with a population of some 1.7 billion, and containing the world’s second and third largest economies, is a region of enormous political, economic and cultural significance. It is also currently in the midst of major transformations. Developments in the region, including the rise of China and ongoing efforts to resolve the crisis created by the last remaining corner of the Cold War - the division of the Korean Peninsula - have global implications. Meanwhile, the countries of the region are gradually moving towards the creation of closer regional integration.

In order to understand these developments, and their profound implications for Australia and the rest of the world, we need to understand the historical, cultural and social context in which they occur.

PASI8002: Pacific Foundations: From Maritime Societies to Global Cultures

The Pacific, home to a broad of the range of societies, cultures, languages, and polities, is one of the world’s most diverse regions. This interdisciplinary foundations course brings together the perspectives of anthropology, archaeology, and linguistics and history to explore questions of continuity and change that can help us understand this diversity. How and to what extent have people’s ways of life been shaped by their past, how are they adapting to changing circumstances in the present, and what challenges do they face for the future? The course combines environmental, cultural and anthropological perspectives to show students how natural and human systems have interacted over millennia to create the dynamic and often precarious world of Oceania. Globalisation extended to the Pacific in the 17th century

ASIA8049: International History from Asia and the Pacific: Framing Critical Perspectives

This course introduces the exciting new field of International History, viewed from an Asia Pacific perspective. Through a series of case studies of the region, you will develop the skills to analyse how the norms, practices and structures that underpin international affairs today have developed since the 19th century, and what role Asia and the Pacific region played in this process. The course prompts you to imagine alternative pathways and outcomes arising from specific historical moments. Examples of these key case studies include: Pattern of the adaptation of international law by China and Japan; alternatives to the Europe-centred world system; critical assessment of the idea of human rights; colonial participation in international organisations; the development of international anti-terrorist law; historical origins of the border disputes in Northeast Asia; and the development of refugee law, with its implications for the current refugee crisis in Asia and Australia.

ASIA8051: Language and Power in Asia and the Pacific

The power of language is often overlooked in discussions of Asia. This course aims to redress this neglect by placing language in the foreground and showing how the power of language, as well as the language(s) of power, shape life and culture in Asia. You will investigate topics such as the potency of script, colonial languages, language choice, and honorifics and their roles in forming Asian societies and cultures.

and brought new ideologies, languages, diseases, products and people to remote islands. The course looks at the impact and legacies of Western arrival and examines how island societies have responded to the challenges posed by global systems.

ASIA8514: China: Wealth and Power

During the last four decades, China has undergone a dramatic process of ‘economic reform and opening up’ under the political leadership of the Communist Party of China. The combination of economic reform and political stability has generated rates of economic growth unprecedented in world history, triggering profound economic and social change within China and substantially altering China’s role in an increasingly globalised world. While pursuing ‘harmonious development’ and a ‘peaceful rise’, China is confronted with many challenges and conflicts that have emerged as a consequence of rapid growth and change, relating to demographic change, urbanisation, environmental degradation, human and legal rights, regional security and global trade. This course will provide students with a deep understanding of China’s dramatic transformation, and its far-reaching implications for China and the world.

STST8026: Nuclear Strategy in the Asian Century

This course examines the use of nuclear weapons in for political objectives. Students review the development and current state of nuclear technology, and how nuclear technology has enabled various deterrence and warfighting strategies during and after the Cold War. Non-proliferation and arms control are examined as ways to limit the spread of nuclear technology. Iran and North Korea, Pakistan, India, China and the United States are all discussed with a particular emphasis on the interplay and relationship between the political goals, available technology, and employment strategies. The course concludes with a session on Australia’s nuclear policy in past, present and future.

POGO8045: International Policy Making in the Shadow of the Future

The Asia-Pacific region is changing rapidly as result of economic development, political change, and shifting international alignments. It is not enough for policy makers and policy advocates to understand where the region stands today. It is also vital for us to think deeply and systematically about where the region is headed tomorrow.

This course will equip students to grapple with the challenge of making policy in a rapidly changing region by introducing them to a few key tools. It will introduce students to the study of international relations, focusing on a select number of trends that are recognized as particularly important drivers of international change.

U S E F U L I N F O R M A T I O N

The Australian National University (ANU) is a global institution, attracting staff and students of the highest calibre from around the world. So much so that in the 2017 Times Higher Education ‘Most International Universities’ ranking table, we appeared at #1 in Australia and #7 in the world.

Graduate spotlight

Craig Robinson, senior policy officer in the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT), is part of Australia’s efforts to tackle poverty and eliminate hunger around the globe.

With over three years’ experience in agriculture and food security policy, Craig says the MAPS program equipped him with the knowledge to pursue positive social and economic change in region.

“Many people are really surprised when I tell them over two-thirds of the global food insecure live in our region. That’s 490 million people, so it’s a significant number of people who are going hungry, many of whom are children.

The MAPS program provided me with in-depth knowledge of the social, economic and political backdrop that helped me understand where this region came from, where it is going, and how we can understand and start to address a problem like food insecurity. The program gives you the complete picture, which has been incredibly useful.”

Scholarships and funding

Anthony Reid Prize in Southeast Asian Studies

The Anthony Reid Prize in Southeast Asian Studies is awarded to a high achieving MAPS student who focuses their studies on Southeast Asia. The objective of the prize is to encourage and reward scholarly interest and outstanding performance in the field of Southeast Asian studies.

Funding for this prize has been provided by Emeritus Professor Anthony Reid, who is a fellow of the British Academy as well as the Australian Academy of the Humanities, was the University’s first full professor of Southeast Asian History (1989-99) and the founding director of the Asia Research Institute of National University of Singapore (2002-7).

The prize is valued at $500 and is awarded to students upon graduation from MAPS.

Commonwealth Supported Places

At the beginning of each year we offer a handful of Commonwealth Support Places (CSP) for domestic students in the MAPS program. The tuition fees associated with CSPs are subsided by the Australian Government, and are awarded to high-achieving students in a merit-based application process. All students enrolling in the program will automatically be considered for a CSP.

ANU Scholarships

ANU offers a wide range of scholarships to students to assist with the cost of their studies. Eligibility to apply for ANU scholarships varies depending on the specifics of the scholarship and can be categorised by the type of student you are.

To find out more, visit: anu.edu.au/students/scholarships-support

“One of the reasons ANU was established in 1948 was to fill the great gap in understanding of the countries to our near north, into which Australia had been dragged by war. The need is no less great today to keep abreast of the world’s most dynamic region. Despite (and partly because of) ANU’s unrivalled accumulation of expertise spread around many departments and programs such as MAPS, ANU has never quite managed a flagship to advertise itself in the field now recognised as Southeast Asian Studies. I hope that this prize will focus some attention on this field in which ANU has great things to offer.”
