Описание:
Australia won wide recognition for its $42b stimulus response to the GFC. But the Home Insulation element of that package was a debacle. Succeeding and Failing in Australian Environment Policy sheds new light on that failure, and others including the failure to develop a prudent Population Strategy. Policymakers, environmentalists, researchers, and citizens, can distil its lessons, on how to fight the coming battles over climate change, over protecting special landscapes and species.
Author Dr Kathleen Mackie has seen the good and bad in environment policymaking. She implemented the successful Working on Country program for Indigenous rangers. She was brought in towards the end of the Home Insulation Program, to rebuild trust with the federal Environment Minister, as he became frustrated by poor advice. These experiences triggered her PhD research.
Up till 2009, she was a Senior Executive in the federal Environment Department. She holds a PhD (UNSW) and MA (University of Toronto). During 2017, she was CEO of Kanyirninpa Jukurrpa, the Martu organisation of the WA Pilbara. There she saw first-hand the kernel of policy success: - understanding and meeting the needs of your policy subjects. For Indigenous landowners, it was about being valued as expert land managers and being paid award wages.
Internationally and in Australia, most academics research environment policy at a remove from the bureaucracy. As a former executive, Dr Mackie was able to interview 51 of her policy peers. Usually, they could foretell which environment policies were going to thrive or not. Their predictors of policy success are compared with what's in the academic literature. Their keys to success were: understanding who has skin in the game, being armed with evidence, and delivering social and economic wins while still maintaining credible environmental objectives.
The unexpected revelation of the interviews was the critical importance of skilful 'agency' by policy officials under a Westminster system. The four case studies unpack what agency means. Things can go right when it's exerted. Or wrong when it's not. As happened in Home Insulation, and the Sustainable Population Strategy.
"Australia's next generation of federal and state environment policymakers." the author concludes, "will need to marshall their skill, judgment and courage, to counter the policy vacuity of growth-obsessed politicians." Her Succeeding and Failing reveals the insiders' hard-earned lessons, on how to play the policy game for better chances of success.

Описание: This book sets out to discuss what kind of ‘middle power’ Australia is, and whether its identity as a middle power negatively influences its relationship with Asia. It looks at the history of the middle power concept, develops three concepts of middle power status and examines Australia’s relationships with China, Japan and Indonesia as a focus. It argues that Australia is an ‘awkward partner’ in its relations with Asia due to both its historical colonial and discriminatory past, as well its current dependence upon the United States for a security alliance. It argues this should be changed by adopting a new middle power concept in Australian foreign policy.

Описание: Social policy encompasses the study of social needs, policy development and the administrative arrangements undertaken with the aim of improving citizen wellbeing and redressing disadvantage. This text introduces readers to the mechanisms of policy development, implementation and evaluation in Australia.
The charities sector in Australia is big. There are over 600,000 not-for-profit organisations which together in 2015-16 generated more than $150 billion in income--fifty per cent more than the agricultural sector. De Maria's book is the first to chart the history of the sector and the way in which it has been transformed from a government-led system for providing support to people experiencing need across the society to a neoliberal business operation, the underlying goal of which is the privatisation of welfare.
De Maria shows that the changes in the sector have increased its vulnerability to corruption, which is now present at disturbing levels. He describes key ways in which corruption in charities is carried out. Case studies are presented drawing on detailed historical and forensic evidence, where appropriate using police and court documents.
The book also includes a valuable review of the role of the national charity regulator, the Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission. De Maria argues that, rather than providing the solution, the regulator itself has now become part of the problem. His provocative challenge for a review and renewal of the sector and the way in which it is regulated will inevitably generate intense debate.
William De Maria is a Queensland academic with a long history of social activism. He is the author of "Deadly Disclosures: Whistleblowing and the Ethical Meltdown of Australia" (Wakefield 1999). He is represented in "Radicals in Australian Social Work" (Connor Court 2018).
Описание: This book addresses the relationship between the production of social problems in educational policy, the research practices required to inform policy, and the daily production of normalcies and differences in school contexts.
Описание: This book explores how action research forms a valuable methodology for producing collaborative knowledge and action. It outlines the recent uptake of action research in policy analysis and transition research and develops a distinct and novel approach that is both critical and relational.
