From Asia-Pacific to Indo-Pacific? Evaluating Australia's changing terminology for its regional outlook / 从亚太地区到印度太平洋地区？评估澳大利亚地区术语称呼的变化
Conference Publication ResearchOnline@JCUAbstract
In assessing the change in terminology from Asia-Pacific to Indo-Pacific, this paper probes whether or not this is the first shift in terminology for Australia’s regional outlook. By analysing relevant domestic history pertinent to Australian terminology for its neighbouring regions and by examining academic and political discourse from the 1950s onwards, this paper argues that the recent shift from Asia-Pacific to Indo-Pacific actually reflects a return to the previous terminology for the region (Indo-Pacific). Furthermore, it identifies that the terminology of Asia-Pacific was only a fairly recent development and that for much of the post-World War II period, Australian terminology for the region was centred on Indo-Pacific terminology. Hence, the paper demonstrates that the Indo-Pacific terminology is not new. Instead, it is a return to previous terminology for Australia's neighbouring regions.
