ANU Research School of Asia & the Pacific : ウィキペディア英語版
ANU Research School of Pacific and Asian Studies

The Research School of Pacific and Asian Studies (RSPAS) was originally founded in 1946 as part of the Institute of
Advanced Studies at the Australian National University in Canberra, Australian Capital Territory.〔Foreign Policy Research Institute, (Research School of Pacific and Asian Studies ); retrieved 2011-05-16〕
==History==
First known as the Research School for Pacific Studies (RSPacS), the research school began as one of the foundation schools
of the Institute of Advanced Studies at ANU.〔The historical background to the foundation of the Research School of Pacific Studies within the ANU is documented in Stephen Foster and Margaret Varghese, ''The Making of the Australian National University, 1946–1966'', St Leonards: Allen and Unwin, 1966; Reprinted ANU E Press, 2009.〕 In the late 1940s Raymond Firth, an eminent international scholar from the London School of Economics, was asked to join a group of other academics to advise on the creation of the first research schools within the ANU. Other leading scholars in the group included Mark Oliphant (physical sciences), Keith Hancock (social sciences), and Nobel prize-winner Howard Florey (medical sciences). Firth was responsible for advising on regional studies, especially Pacific studies. Following the recommendations of this group, a number of research schools were established at the ANU to serve as national centres of study in Australia in the post-war period.
During the next several decades the RSPacS built up a strong international reputation for work on Pacific studies (including Papua New Guinea) and Southeast Asia. The first Director and first professor of economics in the RSPacS was Sir John Crawford. Crawford's interests in development in Asia set a direction for economics in the research school. He was also widely recognised as an excellent academic administrator who served as both Vice-Chancellor, and later Chancellor, of the ANU.〔A volume edited by L.T Evans and J.D.B Miller, ''Policy and Practice: Essays in honour of Sir John Crawford'', Canberra, ANU Press, 1987, provides an appreciation of the man and his work.〕 The work of the research school during this period was strongly interdisciplinary. For example, as well as research in economics, international relations, human geography and anthropology in the Asia-Pacific region, another major development of the school was the creation of the ''Pacific Linguistics'' publishing unit by Professor Stephen Wurm in the early 1960s. Since the establishment of the unit, ''Pacific Linguistics'' has published several hundred volumes of dictionaries, grammars, and other linguistic studies on the Asia-Pacific region, particularly Oceania and Southeast Asia.
In the earlier form of the research school, staff of the RSPacS were frequently involved in public discussion about Pacific and Asian affairs Also the genesis of the RSPAS can be seen in comments by Bruce in 1952 Due to the earlier focus on Pacific studies, the RSPacS supported research locations with housing for visiting researchers; the Suva Flats in Fiji were one such location
For a range of reasons, including significant changes in the balance of power in Southeast Asia in the late 1960s and the following decade, during the 1970s and 1980s there was a decline in Asian regional studies in Europe and North America. Partly as a result, many scholars from North America and Europe with an interest in Asia spent time at the ANU to work within the RSPacS. Well-known scholars from North America who visited the school in the 1970s and 1980s included Professor Bruce Glassburner (economics, University of California, Davis), Professor Anne Krueger (later the chief economist of the World Bank and first deputy managing director of the International Monetary Fund), Professor Herb Grubel (Simon Fraser University, Canada), and many others.
During the 1970s and 1980s an increasing proportion of the work of the school shifted to Southeast Asia from the Pacific. Many scholarly books, journal articles and other studies were produced following research in countries such as Indonesia, Thailand, the Philippines, Vietnam, and so on. Reflecting the fact that "the balance of research activity in the
School ... has shifted significantly from the Pacific towards Asia in recent years and will continue to do so", in 1994 the name of the school was changed to the Research School of Pacific ''and Asian'' Studies (RSPAS)〔ANU heritage, ("RSPS", p. 3 ) citing "Minutes of the 251st meeting of the Board of the Institute of Advanced Studies", 18 November 1993; retrieved 2011-05-16〕 RSPAS developed along multidisciplinary lines, encompassing anthropology, archaeology, economics, history, human geography, international relations, linguistics, political science,〔( Australian Political Studies Association ) (APSA); retrieved 2011-05-16〕 resource management and strategic defence studies.〔ANU heritage ("RSPS", p. 1 )〕 Over time, within the overall departmental structure of the school, certain special areas of study emerged such as the Indonesia Project which focused on studies of the Indonesian economy as well as other aspects of developments in Indonesia.
At various stages internal ANU and external factors affected the school – such as in 1997 when it was announced that the school was required to reduce staff numbers〔Shorter, Damon (1997) ''Research school to cut staff by 25%'' – ANU Reporter, Volume 28, No.6, Wednesday 25 June 1997, p.1 – the Division of Archaeology and Natural History was predicted to be closed down, and the reason given was Federal government funding cuts at that time〕
In 2010, following a major review of the organisational arrangements within the ANU, the RSPAS was reduced in status in line with other changes to other research schools across the ANU. Shortly afterwards, a new ''College of Asia and the Pacific''〔http://asiapacific.anu.edu.au/〕 was established which took over much of the work of former RSPAS.〔ANU, Office of the Vice-Chancellor, (University Structure ); retirieved 2011-05-16〕〔Kipnis in his introduction to his book dates the demise of RSPAS as 31 December 2009 〕
