From intensifying regional competition to climate transition and the digital revolution, the Indo-Pacific is reshaping the global landscape. Recognising this, the Australian Government has launched an important inquiry into building Asia capability through the education system and beyond\u2014an initiative the Griffith Asia Institute (GAI) strongly supports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">GAI welcomes the opportunity to contribute to this national process and has submitted a detailed proposal outlining how Australia can rebuild the depth and breadth of capability needed for effective engagement. The full submission is available on the Parliament of Australia website <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aph.gov.au\/Parliamentary_Business\/Committees\/House\/Education\/BuildingAsiacapability\/Submissions\">Submission 56<\/a> (page 3).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A timely and necessary government initiative<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The inquiry, led by the Hon. Tim Watts, reflects growing concern about Australia\u2019s declining demand for Asia-related study. While previous policy efforts\u2014including the New Colombo Plan and DFAT\u2019s Australia Awards\u2014have generated valuable momentum, capability has eroded at a moment when regional engagement is becoming more strategically important than ever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">GAI\u2019s submission argues that Australia\u2019s current approach to building Asia capability has become fragmented, with a lack of \u201cdemand\u201d for Asia capacity despite a growing Asian economic integration. To credibly and effectively bridge this capacity gap, we argue that the Australian Government should transition from a fragmented approach to a clear, national strategy based on three interconnected pillars:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"597\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/testblogs.griffith.edu.au\/asiainsights\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/11\/image.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12021\" style=\"width:820px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/testblogs.griffith.edu.au\/asiainsights\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/11\/image.png 597w, https:\/\/testblogs.griffith.edu.au\/asiainsights\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/11\/image-300x188.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 597px) 100vw, 597px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Megatrends reshaping Asia\u2019s regional engagement<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the submission, we highlight three megatrends that, beyond important basic language and cultural skills, should anchor Australia\u2019s Asia capability efforts to align with core interests and opportunities of our neighbourhood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Geopolitics:<\/strong> Strategic competition\u2014particularly between China and the United States\u2014is creating uncertainty across the Indo-Pacific. Australia risks significant policy miscalculation if its understanding of major Asian powers remains shallow. GAI highlights deficits in granular knowledge about China\u2019s domestic drivers, India\u2019s evolving strategic posture and broader inter-Asian dynamics that increasingly shape regional decision-making.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Climate transition:<\/strong> Asia is simultaneously the largest source of emissions, a centre of green innovation and home to some of the world\u2019s most climate-vulnerable communities. As regional economies accelerate decarbonisation, Australia faces risks to carbon-intensive exports such as coal and iron ore. Yet major opportunities lie in clean energy partnerships, hydrogen development and critical minerals\u2014opportunities that require a workforce equipped with Asia-focused climate expertise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Digital and AI transformation:<\/strong> Asia drives global digital growth, from datacentres and smart infrastructure to AI governance. Without strengthened digital literacy and policy capability, Australia risks being sidelined in the development of regional standards, weakening its influence and commercial competitiveness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">GAI is reinforcing the national conversation: insights from Perspectives:Asia<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">GAI\u2019s recent <a href=\"https:\/\/testblogs.griffith.edu.au\/asiainsights\/australias-asia-capability-in-the-spotlight-at-perspectivesasia\/\">Perspectives:Asia<\/a> event on November 13 hosted The Hon Tim Watts MP. He powerfully echoed the urgency behind the submission. Speaking at the Queensland Art Gallery | Gallery of Modern Art, Watts warned that Australia\u2019s Asia capability is \u201capproaching crisis point\u201d just as the Indo-Pacific\u2019s strategic importance intensifies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Watts argued that language learning, cultural literacy and regional experience are not optional extras but sovereign capabilities critical to Australia\u2019s future. His reflections\u2014interweaving policy insight and personal experience\u2014reinforced the central message of GAI\u2019s submission: rebuilding Australia\u2019s Asia capability requires long-term investment, national coordination and a renewed commitment across the education system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Looking ahead<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Australia stands at an inflection point. The government\u2019s inquiry is a timely and commendable initiative, and GAI is pleased to contribute to shaping a national approach that matches the scale of regional change. By aligning policy settings with the realities of a transforming Indo-Pacific, Australia can equip its next generation with the knowledge, skills and confidence needed to engage Asia with purpose and credibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"author label wp-block-paragraph\">AUTHOR<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em>Professor Christoph&nbsp;Nedopil<\/em><\/strong><em>&nbsp;is the Director,&nbsp;<\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.griffith.edu.au\/asia-institute\"><em>Griffith Asia Institute<\/em><\/a><em>.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CHRISTOPH NEDOPIL&nbsp;|&nbsp; Australia\u2019s future security and prosperity are inseparable from its ability to understand and respond to the rapid shifts occurring across Asia.
