PricewaterhouseCoopers Melbourne Institute Asialink index 2008
No full textAustralia\u27s international relationships are increasingly located in Asia rather than the rest of the world according to this report, the first ever comprehensive index of Australian - Asian engagement.The Index measures changes across a range of areas, including trade, investment, tourism, education, migration, business development and humanitarian assistance, between Australia and 25 Asian economies in the period 1990 – 2007
The PwC Melbourne Institute Asialink index
No full textProvides Australia\u27s first comprehensive view of how the most difficult year of recent times - in economic terms at least - has impacted on Australia-Asia engagement.
The PwC Melbourne Institute Asialink Index is the first multi-indicator measure of engagement between Asia and Australia. The Index measures engagement between Australia and Asia over the period 1990-2009, analysing both the level and rate of change across seven components and 25 economies.
Tracking 2009 along seven critical indicators - trade, investment, research and business development, education, tourism, migration and humanitarian assistance - the Index reveals that recent growth in our engagement was substantially curtailed, and there were falls in three components.
Under pressure of the global financial crisis, the flattening was driven by trade - specifically a decline in imports - and overall investment flows between Australia and Asia. A slowdown in the rapid growth of recent years in the education and migration components was also a contributor.
Highlights include:
• China became our largest trading partner and largest investor (and also overtook Japan as the world’s second largest economy). Exports to China increased by 39 per cent in real terms, a record rise.
• Australia’s trade surplus with Asia grew at a faster rate than ever before - with imports from Asia falling by 12.9 per cent while exports continued to rise.
• Tourism engagement continued to increase over 2009. On current trends, China will be larger than Japan as our biggest source of incoming tourists within a year.
• Australian outbound investment to Asia declined. Australians investing abroad clearly prefer the United States, New Zealand and the European Union over Asian economies. At the same time, foreign direct investment (FDI) from Asia into Australia increased substantially, despite a 43 per cent worldwide decline.
• While the China and India relationships remained extremely robust in the period, Australian engagement declined for each of the other major economies under scrutiny.
• Data on education engagement shows a concerning slowdown of international arrivals for study in Australia, and further deceleration anticipated. At the same time, Australians appear to be less and less interested in studying in Asia, a particularly disturbing trend

Australia and the real battle for Indonesian Islam
No full textBeyond issues of Australian drug offenders, asylum seeker arrivals and animal cruelty in abattoirs, a battle is now raging in Indonesia that presents enormous strategic and economic risk to Indonesia and its relations with the region.
In the most recent Asialink Essay, Professor Tim Lindsey, Director of the Asian Law Centre at The University of Melbourne, argues that Australia needs to do more to support a tolerant and secular Indonesia, particularly through aid to schools
Talking tough: Defence white paper 2009
No full textIn the latest Asialink Essay, Ross Cottrill, currently a Visiting Fellow at the Asia-Pacific College of Diplomacy, ANU, unpacks, with reference to China, the latest Defence White Paper, Defending Australia in the Asia Pacific Century: Force 2030.
He notes that "In the case of the messages conveyed by the latest Defence White Paper, there have been complaints from China, and a leading specialist on China has suggested that the paper may have contributed to recent Chinese aggressive behaviour regarding the resources industry." It may not be a new idea to speak softly to one\u27s neighbours, he suggests, but it\u27s good policy
