Australian Indonesia-specialists and debates on West Papua: Implications for Australia-Indonesia relationsFootnote1

1. This research was funded by the Department of Education, Science and Training (recently named: Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations), Australian Government, under a 2007 Endeavour-Indonesia Research Fellowship, which was carried out at the Department of Political and Social Change, Research School of Pacific and Asian Studies, College of Asia and the Pacific, Australian National University. I owe a special debt to Edward Aspinall, Greg Fealy, Barbara Hatley and Rommel Curaming for offering me insightful commentaries on the initial draft of this paper. I am extremely grateful to Kathy Robinson and Jemma Purdey for providing me with several indispensable articles, a number of Australian Indonesia-specialists, whose names I cannot mention one by one, who gave generously of their time to talk to me, and the two anonymous reviewers for their helpful commentaries and support. None, however, is responsible for any remaining errors.
