Описание: Welfare states can have both social care (humanitarian) and social control (oppressive) functions. This book makes the case for an alternative participatory and decentralized welfare state model that would prioritize social care by empowering and supporting welfare service users at a local community level.

Описание: In 1992, Australian sociologist Lois Bryson published what proved to be an important book entitled Welfare and the State: Who benefits? The central feature of this text was an exploration of the actual, as opposed to assumed, nature of the redistribution of resources via the Australian welfare state.Following on from Bryson’s work, The Australian Welfare State: Who benefits now? assesses trends in poverty and inequality in Australia from 1992 to the present and describes and evaluates the institutions that make up the Australian welfare state. Taking Bryson’s initial analysis as the baseline, this title illustrates the major structural and institutional developments in the Australian welfare state, and in the Australian economy and society, over this same period. It analyses political and policy responses to poverty and inequality in Australia and assesses the extent and direction of redistribution in key areas of state activity.This text definitively outlines the links between Australians’ conceptions about welfare and the redistributive outcomes of the welfare state, canvassing theoretical explanations about why many Australians develop and maintain misconceptions of the broad distributive mechanisms of the Australian welfare state and hold negative attitudes towards its social welfare element.Containing a number of pedagogical features including case studies, exercises, excerpts from Government agencies, and discussion questions, The Australian Welfare State is an indispensable resource for students undertaking studies in social policy from a range of disciplinary perspectives including sociology, public administration, economics and social work.

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.
