  • Future Technology and International Cooperation a UK Perspective
    MAY Future Technology and International Cooperation A UK perspective In 2011, NATO’s Integrated Air Defence (NATINAD) and the supporting NATO Integrated Air Defence System (NATINADS) marked 50 years of safeguarding NATO’s skies. In order to successfully reach future milestones NATO must continue (and in many cases improve) its air defence interoperability across the strategic, operational and tactical domains. In order for this to become reality a combination of exploiting synergies and acknowledging that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts1 is required at all levels. Recent improvements and a greater focus on future capability within the UK’s Joint Ground Based Air Defence (Jt GBAD) will enable the Formation to deploy its units and sub-units in order to operate the latest air defence weapon systems, within a multinational environment, against a near-peer adversary or asymmetric threat, and win.

  • The Need for a Rights-Based Public Health Approach to Australian Asylum Seeker Health Jo Durham1* , Claire E
    Durham et al. Public Health Reviews (2016) 37:6 DOI 10.1186/s40985-016-0020-9 REVIEW Open Access The need for a rights-based public health approach to Australian asylum seeker health Jo Durham1* , Claire E. Brolan1,2, Chi-Wai Lui1 and Maxine Whittaker1,3 * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract 1Faculty of Medicine & Biomedical Sciences, School of Public Health Public health professionals have a responsibility to protect and promote the right to School of Public Health, The health amongst populations, especially vulnerable and disenfranchised groups, such University of Queensland, Herston as people seeking asylum and whose health care is frequently compromised. As at Road, Herston, Queensland 4006, Australia 31 March 2016, there was a total of 3707 people (including 384 children) in immigration Full list of author information is detention facilities or community detention in Australia, with 431 of them detained for available at the end of the article more than 2 years. The Public Health Association of Australia and the Australian Medical Association assert that people seeking asylum in Australia have a right to health in the same way as Australian citizens, and they denounce detention of such people in government facilities for prolonged and indeterminate periods of time. The position of these two professional organisations is consistent with the compelling body of evidence demonstrating the negative impact detention has on health. Yet in recent years, both the Labour and Liberal parties—when at the helm of Australia’s Federal Government—have implemented a suite of regressive policies toward individuals seeking asylum. This has involved enforced legal restrictions on dissenting voices of those working with these populations, including health professionals.

  • An International Analysis of Governmental Media Campaigns to Deter Asylum Seekers
    International Journal of Communication 14(2020), 1092–1114 1932–8036/20200005 An International Analysis of Governmental Media Campaigns to Deter Asylum Seekers SARAH C. BISHOP1 Baruch College, The City University of New York, USA In recent years, the governments of the United States, Australia, and Norway have developed and launched informational multimedia campaigns targeted at dissuading unwanted groups of asylum-seeking migrants and have disseminated these media in strategic international locales. This project investigates the visual and textual facets of these deterrence campaigns using critical narrative analysis. Asylum seekers globally occupy a precarious liminal position; this article interrogates the processes of governmentality at work in this liminal space. Specifically, I analyze the ways that government-funded deterrence campaigns offer material directives that (1) discursively bifurcate the nature of the threats posed when individuals seek asylum, and (2) omit requisite information about migrants’ human right to seek asylum, thereby advancing strategic ignorance in their audiences. Keywords: immigration, media, global communication, governmentality, migration deterrence There are currently around 3.5 million asylum seekers across the world—the highest number that the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) has ever recorded. In Europe, the number of individuals seeking asylum has increased nearly 4,000% in the last decade, and the rate of arrivals is accelerating (Eurostat, 2019). Displaced individuals often flee to neighboring areas, and about 85% of displaced people reside in developing regions that are often unable to provide the material resources and long-term social services necessary for a high-functioning asylum system (United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees [UNHCR], 2018b).

  • Managing the Risk of Asbestos at the Border
    Managing the risk of asbestos at the border The health risks posed by exposure to asbestos are well known. An Australia-wide ban on the manufacture and use of all forms of asbestos took effect on 31 December 2003. Work Health and Safety (WHS) laws in all states and territories prohibit the supply and unauthorised transport, use, or handling of asbestos. In order to support the domestic ban: Importing asbestos, or goods containing asbestos, to Australia is prohibited under Regulation 4C of the Customs (Prohibited Imports) Regulations 1956 unless a permission has been granted or a lawful exception applies. Exporting asbestos, or certain goods containing asbestos, from Australia is prohibited under Regulation 4 and Schedule 1 of the Customs (Prohibited Exports) Regulations 1958, unless permission has been granted or a lawful exception applies. Australia is one of the few countries in the Asia/Pacific region that has a comprehensive ban on all six types of asbestos. In many countries, despite the known threat to human health, local standards allow low levels or particular types of asbestos to be used for manufacturing. Goods manufactured outside Australia might be labelled “asbestos free” and still contain low levels of asbestos. Such goods will not be permitted for importation into Australia, except in very limited circumstances. Types of prohibited asbestos Asbestos means the asbestiform varieties of mineral silicates belonging to the following serpentine or amphibole groups of rock forming minerals: actinolite asbestos; grunerite (or amosite) asbestos (brown); anthophyllite asbestos; chrysotile asbestos (white); crocidolite asbestos (blue); tremolite asbestos; or a mixture that contains one or more of the minerals referred above.

  • Refugees Welcome? How Germany, Canada, and Australia Respond to Contemporary Migration
    Refugees welcome? How Germany, Canada, and Australia respond to contemporary migration Doctoral thesis for obtaining the academic degree Doctor of Social Sciences submitted by Lorenz Wiese (né Neuberger) at the Faculty of Politics, Law and Economics Department of Politics and Public Administration Oral examination date: 1.8.2019 1st supervisor: Prof. Dr. Wolfgang Seibel 2nd supervisor: Prof. Dr. Sven Jochem Konstanz, 2019 Konstanzer Online-Publikations-System (KOPS) URL: http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bsz:352-2-1xsrf5ls24wry8 Abstract This dissertation studies how three different liberal democracies; Germany, Canada, and Australia, have experienced and reacted to contemporary migration, focusing on asylum seekers and refugees. Conceptually, it assumes that their admission leads to paradoxes for host states’ governmental apparatuses: If these migrants’ reasons to seek new lives outside of their home countries and regions are recognized, they need to be granted protection statuses and thus be ‘welcomed’ to stay temporarily or permanently. As a consequence of public ‘backlashes’ and anxieties, destination countries’ governments have however increasingly attempted to control and restrict their entry. To understand these phenomena, this study explains the underlying incentives and scopes for handling contemporary migratory movements primarily from a governmental top-down point of view. Historical institutionalism helps to understand the path-dependent emergence of certain policies in the context of each state’s particular actor constellations. Approaches taken from public choice theory are adopted to illuminate the connection between societal sentiments, discourses, and domestic political decision- making. Insights from delegation, blame and signaling games are used to complete this picture. Supplemented by expert interviews, the empirical part of this study deciphers the observable political developments, as well as the resulting administrative asylum/refugee regimes in 21st century Germany, Canada, and Australia.

  • Our Bureauhyderabad, August 17 Bharat Dynamics Ltd
    Our BureauHyderabad, August 17 Bharat Dynamics Ltd (BDL) and MBDA of UK have signed up to establish a facility for the Final Assembly, Integration and Test facility for Advanced Short Range Air-to-Air Missile missiles in India. A licensing agreement was signed by NP Diwakar, Director (Technical), BDL, and George Kyriakides, International Industrial Cooperation Director, MBDA at a virtual ceremony today. MBDA will transfer the equipment and knowledge to BDL for establishing the facility. Work is due to start immediately on the unit which is expected to commence operations by 2022-23. In a statement, Commodore Siddharth Mishra (Retd), CMD, BDL said, “ASRAAM is one of the within-visual-range missiles available and BDL will be manufacturing these at its Bhanur Unit, Telangana, for the domestic and export market in future through MBDA.” “The new facility will provide India with the ability to carry out final assembly, integration and test of ASRAAM missiles. BDL has been endeavouring to enter into a tie-up with foreign Original Equipment Manufacturers in pursuit of its expansion programme,” he said. George Kyriakides of MBDA said: “MBDA has a long and highly successful history of working with BDL for over four decades, a partnership that has seen BDL manufacture a large number of MBDA- designed Milan missiles in India.” The agreement to establish the facility follows an earlier Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between BDL and MBDA on ASRAAM FAIT signed during 2019. This facility can also be adapted to conduct final assembly, integration and test of the CAMM missile of MBDA used by the Sea Ceptor naval air defence system.
