“…In another important contribution to this discussion, Jayasuriya (2015) has proposed that Asian Studies should become more centrally concerned with solving problems, particularly problems of a cross-national, global nature. By pursuing this problem-focused approach, he says, a more genuinely global social science can emerge, shed off its Euro-and American biases.…”

This article examines the main drivers of the fiscal crisis in Asian/Southeast Asian Studies and considers ways of overcoming or at least ameliorating it. In the Australian context, several leading scholars in Asian Studies have called for various new forms of strategic state financial support to help keep the field alive, including incentives and structural support for Asian languages at both school and university levels and priority in publicly-funded research grant schemes. However, re-energizing Asian Studies in fiscal terms will undoubtedly require efforts to make the field more appealing to prospective students because of the prevalence of higher education funding models in which money follows student enrollments. This will particularly be the case with Southeast Asian Studies, given the weakness of enrollments in this sub-field. In this respect, there may be some value in seeking to create new education pathways in Asian Studies that focus on cross-national issues and problems within the region as an alternative to the traditional country-focused area studies approach

China’s centrality to Australia’s economy, migration, tourism, and student population is obvious today and likely to continue. And yet there appears to be anxiety among some in Australia about China’s ‘rise’, especially its growing military power, seemingly aggressive behaviour in disputed maritime space, global economic influence, and apparent quest for global leadership. This article analyses the two parallel realities (centrality and anxiety) of Australia’s relationship with China.
