Coral Bell School of Asia Pacific Affairs

The Coral Bell School of Asia Pacific Affairs is a constituent of the College of Asia and the Pacific at the Australian National University. The study of the Pacific was formerly a research focus of the Research School of Pacific (and Asian) Studies, founded in 1946 at the Australian National University. Following a university restructure in 2009, the Research School was amalgamated with the Faculty of Asian Studies and renamed the College of Asia and the Pacific (CAP). The disciplines and units of the college were distributed among four Schools:

• Crawford School of Public Policy
• School of Asia and Pacific Affairs
• School of Regulation and Global Governance
• School of Culture History & Language

In 2015, the School of Asia Pacific Affairs, was renamed Coral Bell School of Asia and Pacific Affairs in honour of Coral Bell, a leading Australian scholar of international politics.
