Abstract

In the 1990s, Australian government and society were transfixed and divided by the question of Australia’s relations with the nations of East and Southeast Asia. In the first half of the decade under Labor Prime Ministers Hawke and Keating, gov- ernment pursued a long-term strategy of building closer cultural and political ties with the countries of the region to underpin sustainable economic relationships and the partial geo-political integration of Austraha into Asia. In this policy frame- to be understood as a European and predominantly work, Australia continued Anglo-Celtic settler-state which over time was becoming partly hybridised by contact with Asian countries in a globalising world: a conception that was manifest in practice in the growing people movement into Australia for the often overlapping purposes of business, immigration and education. a number of The official strategy affected education policy and practice in ways: for example in the spectacular growth of the market in foreign student edu- cation, especially in tertiary institutions, and in official support for the activities of Australian educational institutions in East and Southeast Asian countries; in the encouragement of international educational coordination and cooperation, for example procedures for mutual recognition, in multilateral forums such as Asia- Pacific
