《学生周报》创刊于 1956 年 7 月 27 日，是由友联出版社在亚洲基金会的幕 后资助下为新马华族中学生出版的刊物。它的前身为《中国学生周报(新马版)》。 《中国学生周报(新马版)》则是亚洲基金会在香港幕后资助出版《中国学生周报》 后，为协助该刊物扩大在东南亚地区的传播而在新马地区推出的本地版。《学生周 报》在内容上添加许多新马本地色彩的同时，也保留了《中国学生周报》对自由世 界思想的推广，亚洲基金会也资助出版社为新马华族青年定制了一系列项目与活动， 争取让华裔学生脱离共产主义阵营为最终目标。因此，《学生周报》与其衍生项目 可视为冷战时期美国在东南亚对抗共产主义的文化武器。本文将使用史丹福大学胡 佛研究所图书档案馆所收藏的亚洲基金会档案为主要参考材料，从中探讨亚洲基金 会与友联出版社之间的合作关系、《学报》创刊的前后过程、亚洲基金会对《学报》 的参与程度、以及《学报》在东南亚冷战时期的作用与影响力。Student Weekly is a Chinese magazine published on the 27th of July 1956 by the Union Press Organisation in Singapore under discrete funding from the Asia Foundation. It was formerly known as Chinese Student Weekly (Singapore and Malayan Edition) - a local edition of Chinese Student Weekly, which is an extended project from Hong Kong that intends to expand its reach into the Southeast Asia region. While the content created for Student Weekly is localised for local interest, it managed to retain its focus in promoting the notion of the free world and democracy. The Asia Foundation also funded a series of youth programmes and activities as an extension from the Student Weekly, with an ultimate objective for students in Singapore and Malaya to break away from the Communist front. Therefore, Student Weekly and its extended projects can be regarded as the American’s cultural weapon against communist ideology in the Southeast Asia Cold War. This thesis paper will be using the records of The Asia Foundation from the Hoover Institution Library and Archives, Stanford University collection, as the main reference material. Here, the thesis paper will also discuss the relationship between The Asia Foundation and the Union Press, the Student Weekly publication process, and the degree of involvement of The Asia Foundation towards the publication and its activities.
