Download or read book Australian Politics written by Darwin Bobbitt and published by . This book was released on 2021-06-05 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Australia is a politically stable, prosperous, and peaceful country. The Commonwealth of Australia, formed in 1901, is a federation of six states and two self-governing territories. There are three tiers of democratically elected government, they are federal, state, and local. Perhaps might be designated as 'extreme politics' regarding Australia at this point... its internal feuds and its responses to external world pressures. Tom Law certainly hits one in the face with his blunt analysis and will undoubtedly challenge well-held views and belief systems. We live in uncertain times where many of the threats and fears since the end of WWII have not dissipated. A tome to make one sit up and reappraise the realities of those 'slings and arrows' encountered each day of our lives in a complex world.

Download or read book The Oxford Handbook of Australian Politics written by Jenny M. Lewis and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2021-10-20 with total page 568 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Oxford Handbook of Australian Politics is a comprehensive collection that considers Australia's distinctive politics— both ancient and modern— at all levels and across many themes. It examines the factors that make Australian politics unique and interesting, while firmly placing these in the context of the nation's Indigenous and imported heritage and global engagement. The book presents an account of Australian politics that recognizes and celebrates its inherent diversity by taking a thematic approach in six parts. The first theme addresses Australia's unique inheritances, examining the development of its political culture in relation to the arrival of British colonists and their conflicts with First Nations peoples, as well as the resulting geopolitics. The second theme, improvization, focuses on Australia's political institutions and how they have evolved. Place-making is then considered to assess how geography, distance, Indigenous presence, and migration shape Australian politics. Recurrent dilemmas centres on a range of complex, political problems and their influence on contemporary political practice. Politics, policy, and public administration covers how Australia has been a world leader in some respects, and a laggard in others, when dealing with important policy challenges. The final theme, studying Australian politics, introduces some key areas in the study of Australian politics and identifies the strengths and shortcomings of the discipline. The Oxford Handbook of Australian Politics is an opportunity for others to consider the nation's unique politics from the perspective of leading and emerging scholars, and to gain a strong sense of its imperfections, its enduring challenges, and its strengths.
