India and China: Can two tigers share a mountain?
To outsiders, India and China show some striking similarities. Both are ancient civilizations reincarnated as modern republics in the mid twentieth century, and are now rising powers. Both have nuclear…
Drug Law Reform
CEPS visitor, Dr Norm Stamper, former Chief of the Seattle Police Department and one of the leading lights of Law Enforcement Against Prohibition (LEAP), a drug-policy-reform group. Dr Stamper is a major proponent of significant drug law reform, believing that the "war on drugs" has actually been a war on people. Having served as a police officer for 34 years, and Chief of the Seattle Police Department from 1998 to 2000, Norm Stamper is one of the strongest voices in the US advocating legalisati

APW2010: The Regulatory Challenge of Asia
What does it mean when the Vietnamese government detains, without warning, Australian executives of an airline in which a major Australian company has made a long-term investment? After all, this kind of large-scale, high-technology investment in Asia is precisely what the global trade rules and transnational commercial laws of the late 20th century were designed to achieve. Our Vietnam example, however, is not a paradigm dispute about the terms of trade or the design of a commercial transaction
China and the US-Japan Alliance: Comparing 1960 and 2010
In its 50th year, the US-Japan Security Treaty has come under scrutiny in Washington, Tokyo, and in capitals around East Asia. Japan's Prime Minister has called for a more equal place for Japan within the alliance; a more cooperative relationship with China; and a stronger "East Asian community". Together, these shifts depict a more independent and assertive Japan, and one that is attempting to reshape the future of the US-Japan alliance and Japan's place in the region. Yet these developments ar
India and China: Can two tigers share a mountain?
To outsiders, India and China show some striking similarities. Both are ancient civilizations reincarnated as modern republics in the mid twentieth century, and are now rising powers. Both have nuclear weapons, burgeoning economies, expanding military budgets and large reservoirs of manpower, and seem to be vying for influence in the Indian Ocean, the Persian Gulf, Africa, Central Asia and East Asia. Yet little attention is paid to the relationships between them. (From India and China: Conflict
2010 Morrison Lecture: Australia and China in the World
And so today I am delighted to be able to present this, the 70th George E. Morrison Lecture. George Morrison was a man surrounded by controversy. But no-one, not even his greatest detractors, could deny his deep knowledge of China and his fascination with this ancient and continuing civilisation. Morrison was one of a kind. Nonetheless, the truth is he is little known in contemporary Australia. My view is that, 90 years after his death, it is time for that to change. Morrison is one of the most
Asian Security Seminar: Building Asia's Security
As global economic and strategic weight shifts to Asia, countries in the region are considering how to protect themselves better in the uncertain strategic landscape of the twenty-first century. Alliances with the United States remain pivotal, but China is an ever more dominant presence. Faced with this, and with growing transnational threats such as terrorism, energy insecurity and infectious diseases, Asian governments are increasingly interested in multilateral security cooperation. New multi
Criminal violence in Cambodia: An historical perspective
Empirical studies and theoretical analyses of long-term trends in criminal violence have been done in western countries but rarely in other parts of the world. The research conducted by Professor Broadhurst and Dr Bouhours attempts to fill this gap through an examination of the evolution of criminal violence in Cambodia from the start of the 20th century to the present. However, different sources and methods of criminal data recording were used between 1900 and 2008. The diversity of the sources
Week 05 Lecture: Why do people see the environment in different ways
Drawing on the ideas presented earlier in the course, Alastair connects present and historical attitudes towards the environment in answering the question: why do people see the landscape in different ways? This lecture covers a variety of environmental perspectives from the development imperative of the early colonial times, to the contemporary conservation movement, to establish the different ways people see the environment, as well as the motivations behind the various attitudes towards the e
