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.
