dc.dc.identifiersIt was the year Suharto died; China held Olympics; Japan again changed prime ministers; Kevin Rudd, a Mandarin-speaking Australian, led a new government; the US elected a president who spent part of his childhood in Indonesia; world financial systems shuddered; and ‘nuclear power’, ‘clean energy’, ‘climate change’ and snow-deprived polar bears peppered news bulletins. Members of the ANU College of Asia and the Pacific interpreted these events and processes in newspapers and periodicals ranging from our city’s Canberra Times to The Economist and The New York Review of Books. This is the third year that the college has published a selection of popular writing produced by its members. From more than 100 articles published by college members in the past year,* we have selected 73, written by 49 of the college’s members. The College of Asia and the Pacific has more than 150 academic members whose duties are to research, publish, teach—and communicate with Australians and Australia’s global neighbours. College members fulfil their obligation to communicate by maintaining blogs, doing radio and television interviews and writing for newspapers and magazines. This popular writing, which represents the distillation of years of research, is represented in Capturing the Year.
