WHAT IS CAPSTRANS?
The Asia Pacific region offers unique insights into social transformation processes
triggered by national and international development policies and their effects at local, regional
and transnational level. The Centre for Asia Pacific Social Transformation Studies (CAPSTRANS)
seeks to examine these processes through innovative research by combining methods from a variety
of disciplines, including political science, economics, management studies, sociology, anthropology, media studies, social history
and language and literature studies.
CAPSTRANS is an Australian
Research Council Key Centre for Teaching and Research and a joint venture of the University
of Wollongong and the University of Newcastle. Although the boundaries of the Asia Pacific are
contested, our research focus includes East and Southeast Asia, the Pacific islands, the APEC
economies and the countries of the Indian subcontinent.
