This book examines approaches to reconciliation and peacebuilding
in settler colonial, post-conflict, and divided societies. In
contrast to current literature, this book provides a broader
assessment of reconciliation and conflict transformation by
applying a distinctive 'multi-level' approach. The analysis
provides a unique intervention in the field, one that significantly
complicates received notions of reconciliation and transitional
justice, and considers conflict transformation across the
constitutional, institutional, and relational levels of society.
Drawing on extensive fieldwork in South Africa, Northern Ireland,
Australia, and Guatemala, the work presents an interdisciplinary
study of the complex political challenges facing societies
attempting to transition either from violence and authoritarianism
to peace and democracy, or from colonialism to post-colonialism.
Informed by theories of agonistic democracy, the book conceives of
reconciliation as a process that is deeply political, and that
prioritises the capacity to retain and develop democratic political
contest in societies that have, in other ways, been able to resolve
their conflicts. The cases considered suggest that reconciliation
is most likely an open-ended process rather than a goal - a process
that requires divided societies to pay ongoing attention to
reconciliatory efforts at all levels, long after the eyes of the
world have moved on from countries where the work of reconciliation
is thought to be finished. This book will be of great interest to
students of reconciliation, conflict transformation, peacebuilding,
transitional justice and IR in general.
The death of feminism is regularly proclaimed in the West. Yet at
the same time feminism has never had such an extensive presence,
whether in international norms and institutions, or online in blogs
and social networking campaigns. This book argues that the women's
movement is not over; but rather social movement theory has led us
to look in the wrong places. This book offers both methodological
and theoretical innovations in the study of social movements, and
analyses how the trajectories of protest activity and
institution-building fit together. The rich empirical study,
together with focused research on discursive activism, blogging,
popular culture and advocacy networks, provides an extraordinary
resource, showing how the women's movements can survive the highs
and lows and adapt in unexpected ways. Expert contributors explore
the ways in which the movement is continuing to work its way
through institutions, and persists within submerged networks,
cultural production and in everyday living, sustaining itself in
non-receptive political environments and maintaining a discursive
feminist space for generations to come. Set in a transnational
perspective, this book trace the legacies of the Australian women's
movement to the present day in protest, non-government
organisations, government organisations, popular culture, the
Internet and the Slut Walk. The Women's Movement in Protest,
Institutions and the Internet will be of interest to international
students and scholars of gender politics, gender studies, social
movement studies and comparative politics.
This book examines contemporary Indigenous affairs through
questions of relationality, presenting a range of interdisciplinary
perspectives on the what, who, when, where, and why of
Indigenous-settler relations. It also explores relationality, a key
analytical framework with which to explore Indigenous-settler
relations in terms of what the relational characteristics are; who
steps into these relations and how; the different temporal and
historical moments in which these relations take place and to what
effect; where these relations exist around the world and the
variations they take on in different places; and why these
relations are important for the examination of social and political
life in the 21st century. Its unique approach represents a
deliberate move away from both settler-colonial studies, which
examines historical and present impacts of settler states on
Indigenous peoples, and from postcolonial and decolonial
scholarship, which predominantly focuses on how Indigenous peoples
speak back to the settler state. It explores the issues that
inform, shape, and give social, legal, and political life to
relations between Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples, both in
Australia and globally.

This book investigates whether and how reconciliation in Australia
and other settler colonial societies might connect to the attitudes
of non-Indigenous people in ways that promote a deeper engagement
with Indigenous needs and aspirations. It explores concepts and
practices of reconciliation, considering the structural and
attitudinal limits to such efforts in settler colonial countries.
Bringing together contributions by the world's leading experts on
settler colonialism and the politics of reconciliation, it
complements current research approaches to the problems of
responsibility and engagement between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal
peoples.

This book focuses on Indigenous self-determined and community-owned
responses to complex socioeconomic and political challenges in
Australia, and explores Indigenous policy development and policy
expertise. It critically considers current practices and issues
central to policy change and Indigenous futures. The book
foregrounds the resurgence that is taking place in Indigenous
governing and policy-making, providing case studies of local and
community-based policy development and implementation. The chapters
highlight new Australian work on what is an international
phenomenon. This book brings together senior and early career
political scientists and policy scholars, and Indigenous and
non-Indigenous scholars working on problems of Indigenous policy
and governance.
A deeply provocative call for white Australians to take personal
responsibility for the ongoing impact of colonisation on Aboriginal
Australians. Sarah Maddison's bold and original take on the running
sore of black-white relations offers a genuinely constructive
alternative when so many other approaches have failed.
Conflict in social movements is too often misunderstood as being an
indication of a movement's impending demise rather than as
important, reflexive work that allows movements to renew
themselves. This book addresses this question of conflict in social
movements head on. Using the Australian women's movement as a case
study, the book makes a radical departure from much previous social
movement theorising. Here, conflict between activists is seen as a
significant and productive part of social movement activity and of
feminist collective identity. Using original research with
contemporary young feminists, the book re-visions conflict as a
potentially productive force; one that, if managed carefully, has
the capacity to enhance activists' conceptual clarity, allowing
them to imagine new forms of social existence and develop new
strategies and tactics. Through an understanding of conflict as an
essential part of their collective identities, generations of
feminists are encouraged to conceptualise a new wave of activism.
The public policy arena is a complex framework of actors, politics
and instruments. An Introduction to Australian Public Policy,
Second Edition examines the broad range of models, influences and
players that shape the development of public policy in Australia,
and equips students with a working knowledge of both the
theoretical underpinnings and real-world challenges of the field.
Fully revised and updated, the new edition addresses the diverse
approaches to policy formulation required by different
practitioners and institutions. Accessible and engaging, this
edition includes: a new chapter on policy evaluation; practical
exercises on how to write policy briefs and media releases and
eleven new, concise case studies from Australia's top public policy
practitioners. The book is accompanied by a companion website which
contains chapter summaries and a glossary. Widely regarded as the
best introduction to Australian public policy available, the book
is an essential resource for undergraduate students of politics and
policy workers.
