AbstractAnthropology in Australia : a Brief HistoryDominated until recently by scholars from the London School of Economics, Cambridge and other European universities, Australian anthropologists took an interest in Aborigine society and economics only with the rise to prominence of American cultural anthropology. The development of a specifically Australian anthropology will come about through research undertaken among the Aborigines, to the extent that the anthropologists involved can demonstrate expertise in areas heretofore neglected by their discipline's intellectual traditions. They will thus be able to discuss their work with foreign colleagues sharing similar interests.

AbstractAnthropology in Québec: Major Orientations and Recent DevelopmentsAnthropology in Québec has developed chiefly within academic circles. Educated principally in American, British and French universities, most anthropologists have been rarely associated with Québec nationalism. However, their analyses of capitalist development in native or peasant populations and discrimination against women and minorities did favour collaboration with the political left. Their published research, though reflecting the major ongoing debates in Anthropology, has attracted little attention internationally. Since 1980, the main challenges facing Québec anthropologists has been to break out from the confines of their academic milieu and to achieve better international recognition.Claude Bariteau et Serge Genest

AbstractAnthropology in the Netherlands : the 1980sThe strong ethnographic bias of Dutch anthropology results from their country's colonial past as well as present day foreign aid programmes. Dutch anthropologists accordingly give little importance to the study of their own society. The recession during the 1970's dried up employment opportunities for young graduates and prodded Anthropology departments to work together to identify their research and teaching priorities. Feminist anthropology currently represents one of the most innovative fields of research in the Netherlands.
