Centre for East-West Cultural and Economic Studies

Director's Welcome

I would like to extend a warm welcome to the Centre for East-West Cultural and Economic Studies web page. This page outlines, the activities of the Centre, its mission, goals and achievements.

Established in 1993, the Centre for East-West Cultural and Economic Studies provides a focus for research, teaching, interdisciplinary applications and public education on the interactions among culture, society, economics and politics in the dynamic Asia-Pacific region.

The Centre is particularly interested in examining the changes at the cultural and political levels which have radically altered international, strategic and economic relationships on a global basis. Interactions between 'East' and 'West', as well as the future direction of Australia in its relations with Asia are fundamental aspects of the Centre's activities.

Alongside research, publishing and flow-on into existing teaching programs, the Centre is also involved in hosting public lectures, seminar series, and outreach to other international, regional and local organisations. Research Papers, conferences papers, book and research projects are taken up on a continuing basis.

If you are interested in knowing more about the centre or would like to contribute to our growing body of knowledge in this area, please contact me via jferguso@bond.edu.au .

Sincerely

Dr R. James Ferguson
Director
