2 1. CONFERENCE WELCOME
On behalf of your conference hosts, the Institute for Governance and Policy Analysis (IGPA) and the Faculty of Business, Government and Law at the University of Canberra (UC), welcome to the 2015 Australian Political Studies Association Annual Conference on The Future of Politics and Political Science! The purpose of this conference introduction is twofold – to welcome you to this year’s celebration of political studies in Australia and to introduce you to your conference hosts.
IGPA was established in January 2014 to harness the research strengths of the ANZSOG Institute for Governance (ANZSIG), the National Centre for Social and Economic Modelling (NATSEM) and the Centre for Deliberative Democracy and Global Governance (Deliberate). The aim of the Institute is to create and sustain an international class research institution for the study and practice of gov- ernance and public policy. The Institute has a strong social mission committed to the production of leading edge research and research driven education programmes with genuine public value and, by implication, policy impact. The integration of ANZSIG, Deliberate and NATSEM has created exciting opportunities for the development of cutting edge, mixed methods research in governance and public policy analysis through combining knowledge in institutional design with expertise in qualitative and quantitative methods, evaluation, micro-simulation and policy modelling. It has also allowed us to assemble probably the largest critical mass of governance and public policy scholars in Australia and an eminent adjunct faculty which includes 14 award winning members of the Commonwealth Senior Executive Service and the world of political communication.
Our three research centres grapple with many of the critical public policy problems of our time from social and economic development to climate change and from democratic crisis to migration. They combine disciplinary expertise and the generation of evidence-based research with a focus on practical problem-solving through the development of new ways of doing governance and public policy. The focus of this research is on identifying and removing barriers to social and economic participation and enhancing the quality of governance.
The Institute’s activities are organised through our research, education and engagement programmes.
RESEARCH
We presently receive funding for eight Australian Research Council (ARC) research projects on critical governance problems in Australia and in 2014 were awarded funding for more ARC research projects than any other social science research Institute in Australia. For example, Professor John Dryzek was awarded an Australian Laureate to support the Institute’s world leading Centre for Deliberative Democracy and Global Governance.
3 Through NATSEM, IGPA provides authoritative commentary on the Australian budget and is one of the leading policy modelling organisations in Australia. For example, we conduct applied research on different aspects of social inclusion with a particular emphasis on modelling wellbeing and innovation in policy intervention. We also publish the high profile NATSEM-AMP “Income & Wealth” report series.
IGPA conducts high impact policy and organisational evaluations for domestic and international organisations (for example, Austrade, Department of Health, OECD, United Nations Development Programme, and the World Bank) and is currently working in partnership with various overseas governments and international organisations on change governance problems in Afghanistan, Brazil, China, Egypt, Jordan, Libya, Tunisia, the UK, Vietnam, and Yemen. For example, we have just completed a study of the impact of administrative reform post Arab Spring for the UNDP and are working with the Office of the Presidency in Brazil on a new federal policy on social participation.
EDUCATION
IGPA manages and delivers graduate programmes in public administration and public policy and economics for the Commonwealth Departments of Agriculture, Industry, Infrastructure and Regional Development, the Australian Bureau of Statistics and the ACT gov- ernment. Last year 141 Commonwealth and State public servants graduated from our postgraduate programmes. We also deliver the “Open Policy-making” programme for the UK Cabinet Office, the “Leading and Managing Change” programme for the Commonwealth Department of Prime Minister and Cabinet and “Strategic Communication in an Era of Governance” for the Department of Human Services. In addition, we are currently running change governance leadership programmes in China, Indonesia and Vietnam funded through DFAT. 69 PhD students pursuing research on governance and public policy themes are currently supervised through the Institute.
ENGAGEMENT
IGPA hosts both a quarterly Parliamentary Triangle Seminar Series which is televised on the ABC’s “Big Ideas” programme and a monthly Canberra Conversation with Jon Stanhope AO which aims at enhancing the quality of public policy debate in the nation’s capital. We also partner with the Museum of Australian Democracy (MoAD) on the “Power of 1” Exhibition at Old Parliament House – “a ground-breaking, interactive exhibition that celebrates the spirit of Australian democracy and the power of individual voice using the voices of the Australian people as curator” (ABC Lateline). Next year we will launch ““Power of Us” at MoAD which will investigate the relationship between government and the people in Australia. Finally, we launched – The Policy Space (see: www.thepolicyspace.com.au) – earlier this year to provide a politically neutral blogging platform for debating major public policy issues in Australia and overseas. It is fast becoming one of Australia’s leading public policy blogs.
I could not in all conscience complete this review of IGPA without giving special mention to Professor Linda Botterill. Linda is currently the President of APSA and has just been awarded fellowship of the Academy of the Social Sciences in Australia. Many congratulations Linda!
Well that’s us. We look forward to hosting you over the next few days and hope that you have a wonderful time both intellectually and socially. If you have any questions about the conference during your stay please don’t hesitate to ask one of our friendly Institute fellows in the black polo shirts.
Once again – welcome to Canberra!

5 3. OUR CONFERENCE CONVENER
Dave Marsh is a British Political Sociologist with dual citizenship; although he would definitely fail the ‘cricket test’. He worked in the UK at the, then, Polytechnic of Central London, Essex, Strathclyde and Birmingham. He moved to the ANU, as Director of the Research School of Social Science in 2008, and to the University of Canberra in 2012. He is based in the Institute for Governance and Policy Analysis, where he is the Research Director. Recently, one of his PhD students, who is presenting at the Conference, graduated as his 50th successful PhD candidate. In addition, in the last month his wife Suzy’s PhD passed with flying colours; a relief to both of them! Now there are three doctors in the family, given their daughter Holly is also an academic, none of whom are useful if you have a headache. For Dave’s sins he is a Bristol Rovers’ supporter.
4. THE CONFERENCE THEME – THE FUTURE OF POLITICS AND POLITICAL SCIENCE
The conference general theme this year is ‘The Future of Politics’. This theme has two separate, if related, elements: the future of politics as practice; and the future of the Political Science discipline and sub-disciplines within it. The conference program includes a series of plenary sessions with prominent keynote speakers, and discussants that reflect on the future of politics both as a field of study and practice. These special plenary sessions are designed with the purpose of reflecting and exploring what the scholars in particular sub-fields think are important current, and likely future, developments in their respective field.

18 MENTORING
This year the organising committee has provided a mentoring opportunity for students attending the APSA workshop and conference. This is an occasion for students to gain advice on their PhD and for experienced academics to share their knowledge and insights, and provide valuable assistance. On behalf of the students, we thank all academics who volunteered their time and experience.
Mentors and mentees were advised of their match prior to the event and are encouraged to meet at Monday lunchtime to discuss issues which concern the student. This is to be considered a one-time mentoring activity, with no obligations to continue the mentoring arrangement after the conference. If you are still interested in being mentored or in providing mentoring during the conference, please approach the organising committee for further information.
THE POSTGRADUATE WORKSHOP ORGANISING COMMITTEE
The APSA Postgraduate Workshop 2015 has been designed, developed and organised for postgraduates and early career researchers to addresses generic skills and career development. With the assistance of Nivek Thompson, APSA Postgraduate Representative, we surveyed political science students and early career researchers to gain insight into learning priorities. The resulting programme offers a range of skill and career development sessions. We were particularly pleased about the contributions from leading academics who will provide useful, informative, and engaging presentations.
In organising and providing this year’s APSA Postgraduate Workshop, the organising committee is particularly grateful for the support and encouragement of David Marsh and Mark Evans. Thanks to David’s early initiative to form a committee of volunteer postgraduate students, we’ve been able to build the event from the students’ perspective. It is David’s and Mark’s genuine interest in providing development opportunities and encouragement to students that lies behind the additional student awards on offer this year and the mentoring opportunity.
Thank you to staff and students at IGPA who have also volunteered their time to the workshop.
The organising committee has been thrilled by the interest expressed in the workshop through such high registration numbers. On behalf of all involved in organising the workshop, the committee hopes that the learning and development opportunities provided are valuable to you. We wish you success and joy in your PhD and early academic journeys.

A Special Session of the Australian Political Studies Association Conference University of Canberra – Tuesday 29 Sept 2015 – 12.30pm-5.00 pm
Special guest speaker: The Hon Dr John Bannon AO Prime Minister’s Expert Advisory Panel, White Paper on Reform of the Federation

In 2015, we have seen Commonwealth and State Governments advance towards a White Paper on Reform of the Federation, release of a Discussion Paper, and a first-ever Council of Australian Governments (COAG) Leaders Retreat. But what is the momentum for meaningful reform? Are leaders on track to deliver reforms capable of satisfying public needs and demands? What are the views of the policymakers and public servants who have to make reform work? Join us for wide-ranging discussion on the future of Australian federal reform, and the latest analyses of policy options, citizen and expert opinion from the Australian Constitutional Values Survey and Future of Australia’s Federation Survey (Federal & State Agencies)

IGPA’s research agenda is driven by three research centres:
1. CENTRE FOR DELIBERATIVE DEMOCRACY AND GLOBAL GOVERNANCE 2. CENTRE FOR CRITICAL GOVERNANCE STUDIES (including public sector design and innovation, change governance, political participation) 3. NATIONAL CENTRE FOR SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC MODELLING (NATSEM-including social wellbeing and equity, policy modelling and evaluation)
Our three research centres grapple with many of the critical public policy problems of our time from social and economic development to climate change and from democratic crisis to social exclusion. They combine disciplinary expertise and the generation of evidence- based research with a focus on practical problem-solving through the development of new ways of doing governance and public policy. In addition, the Institute is currently host to eight Australian Research Council funded projects and the largest concentration of internationally recognized governance scholars in Australia recruited from Universities in the World Top 100.
51 CENTRE FOR DELIBERATIVE DEMOCRACY AND GLOBAL GOVERNANCE
The Centre for Deliberative Democracy and Global Governance is the world-leading centre in the growing field of deliberative democracy. In February 2014, the Centre moved to IGPA at the University of Canberra, joining Australia’s largest concentration of scholars specialising in citizen-centric governance.
The Centre was originally established at the Australian National University, where it was jointly hosted by the ANU College of Arts and Social Sciences and the College of Asia and the Pacific.
Over the past decade or more the Centre has hosted over 40 visiting scholars from Europe, North and South America, Asia, Australia and New Zealand, produced 15 PhDs, published 12 books and over 100 journal articles, hosted eight international conferences and received nine large research grants and fellowships.
CENTRE FOR CRITICAL GOVERNANCE STUDIES
(including public sector design and innovation, change governance, political participation)
The Institute possesses the largest number of researchers in Australia focusing on the study of critical governance problems. Our research can be organised into two streams of concern: participation, power and democracy and contemporary governance problems. The first stream addresses questions such as: • What is the future of democracy in Australia? • What role do, and should, citizens play in policy-making? • Is the new media a cause of, or an answer to the crisis of democracy? • Is the power of business increasing in Australia?
The second stream focuses more directly on the changing nature of public governance in Australia and beyond: • What form of leadership and capability do we require to meet the challenges of 21st century governance? • What new forms of governance do we require to meet the challenges of high quality public service production? • What form of federalism/institutional design do we require to meet the challenges of 21st century governance? • What new forms of governance are emerging beyond the nation state to help us address global policy problems?
These are very important questions for modern Australia and beyond and are at the core of the concerns of the Centre for Critical Governance Studies.

52 19. THE POLICY SPACE
The Policy Space provides a politically neutral blogging platform for debating major public policy issues in Australia and overseas. Our purpose is to heighten the quality of policy and political debate and enhance the capability of our political systems to deal with long-term challenges. We invite high quality contributions from academics, practitioners, journalists and political activists on the key issues of our time. The Policy Space encourages blogs that: address a topic of interest to the Policy Space audience; are aligned with key blog themes (e.g. Australian politics and policy, international policy developments, new forms of political participation, leadership etc.); are clearly argued and well written; provide important lessons for better policy, better policy practices, the future of politics or democratic innovation; and, while we encourage opinion pieces it is expected that supporting data should be provided when strong knowledge claims are being made e.g. the majority of Australians are vegetarian!
