Summary
Rethinking Mao’s China from a Global Economic Perspective: A History. The project examines how China was connected to the global economy through international trade and technology transfer during the period of Mao Zedong’s leadership (1949-1976). It will provide the first comprehensive historical account of Maoist China’s economic relationship with its major trade partners, including the Soviet Union and Japan, by analysing key archival documents in Chinese, Japanese, Russian, and English.

The project examines how China was connected to the global economy through international trade and technology transfer during the period of Mao Zedong’s leadership (1949-1976). It will provide the first comprehensive historical account of Maoist China’s economic relationship with its major trade partners, including the Soviet Union and Japan, by analysing key archival documents in Chinese, Japanese, Russian, and English. Expected outcomes include a new understanding of Maoist China as a part of the economic Cold War and the East Asian model of economic development. The project’s findings could benefit Australia by providing new insights into how China’s early policies under Mao shaped its present and future.Read moreRead less
Civilisationist Mobilisation, Digital Technologies and Social Cohesion. Civilisational populist rulers polarise societies mainly along religious lines. They also interfere with their emigrants, mobilising supporters against other expatriates. This project aims to advance knowledge of authoritarian states' transnational influence on social cohesion and inter-group conflict.

Civilisational populist rulers polarise societies mainly along religious lines. They also interfere with their emigrants, mobilising supporters against other expatriates. This project aims to advance knowledge of authoritarian states' transnational influence on social cohesion and inter-group conflict. By studying Islamist and Hindutva civilisationist mobilisations, their reach into their emigrants via digital technologies, and their impact on Turkish and Indian groups in Australia, the project aims to assist policy makers and community groups by generating conceptual frameworks, benchmarking data, and recommendations for making policies to deal with this phenomenon's negative effects and for developing intervention strategiesRead moreRead less

ARC Centre of Excellence for the Elimination of Violence Against Women. Eliminating violence against women is one of the major challenges of the 21st century. Awareness of the problem has grown exponentially, but solutions to it have not.

The Centre mobilises survivor-centric and Indigenous methodologies, interdisciplinary collaborations, and Indo-Pacific partnerships to deliver scalable approaches to eliminate violence against women across the legal, security, economic, health, and political systems of Australia and the region.Read moreRead less
Domestic Politics, States & the Guiding Principles: Insights from Indonesia. States have moved slowly and inconsistently to adopt and implement the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights. We know little about why, or how to ensure states do more. This project aims to shed light on these issues by examining how domestic politics has shaped the state’s response to the Guiding Principles in Indonesia. Expected outcomes include an analysis of the Indonesian case, a conceptual ....Domestic Politics, States & the Guiding Principles: Insights from Indonesia. States have moved slowly and inconsistently to adopt and implement the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights. We know little about why, or how to ensure states do more. This project aims to shed light on these issues by examining how domestic politics has shaped the state’s response to the Guiding Principles in Indonesia. Expected outcomes include an analysis of the Indonesian case, a conceptual framework for explaining state responses to the Guiding Principles, policy-related advice for promoting the Guiding Principles, and enhanced understanding of solutions to global governance gaps. Benefits include these outcomes plus enhanced capacity in Australia and elsewhere to address corporate abuses of human rights.Read moreRead less
