The notion of sustainability includes many and varied aspects of music making and music research, some of which are now referred to as 'applied ethnomusicology'. Reflecting an international turn towards ecological studies of music, this Special Issue focuses specifically on the work of Australasian ethnomusicologists, with emphasis on the Asia-Pacific region.
