The resilience of property: inundation, displacement and local relocation in the Asia-Pacific. This project responds to increased risks of population movement as a result of natural disasters and climate change in the Asia-Pacific. The project analyses local relocations in Indonesia and Solomon Islands, in order to support sustainable resettlement of displaced persons in their home environments.
Resilience and vulnerability in property systems: rising sea levels and local relocations in Solomon Islands. This project analyses local relocations caused by rising sea levels in Solomon Islands, in order to support sustainable and inclusive resettlement of displaced persons in their home environments.
Towards Global Carbon Integrity: Applying integrity systems methodology to the ‘global carbon crisis’. This project applies a widely respected approach to analysing governance systems to global problems of carbon emissions and sustainable development generally. Its significance lies in the centrality of the problems addressed and the adaptation of the widely praised NISA (National Integrity Systems Assessments) approach from domestic to international spheres. It aims to: adapt NISA to apply to ....Towards Global Carbon Integrity: Applying integrity systems methodology to the ‘global carbon crisis’. This project applies a widely respected approach to analysing governance systems to global problems of carbon emissions and sustainable development generally. Its significance lies in the centrality of the problems addressed and the adaptation of the widely praised NISA (National Integrity Systems Assessments) approach from domestic to international spheres. It aims to: adapt NISA to apply to a global sectoral problem of major significance; map and assess the Global Carbon Integrity system; identify gaps, weaknesses and areas on non-collaboration; provide suggestions for improvement; provide a fresh and useful perspective on global problems applicable to other issues.

Waiting For Law: Land, Custom and Legal Regulation in East Timor. The project contributes to a national research priority: safeguarding Australia. Conflicts over customary lands have played important roles in the 'arc of instability' to our North, including in relation to natural resources (Aceh, West Papua, Bougainville) and land alienated or leased to "outsiders" (Solomon Islands, Vanuatu, Fiji). Developing an effective model for regulating customary lands in East Timor will (1) safeguard ou ....Waiting For Law: Land, Custom and Legal Regulation in East Timor. The project contributes to a national research priority: safeguarding Australia. Conflicts over customary lands have played important roles in the 'arc of instability' to our North, including in relation to natural resources (Aceh, West Papua, Bougainville) and land alienated or leased to "outsiders" (Solomon Islands, Vanuatu, Fiji). Developing an effective model for regulating customary lands in East Timor will (1) safeguard our considerable aid and military assistance contributions to East Timor, (2) serve Australia's interest in regional stability and sustainable development, and (3) offer potential comparative lessons for land and resource-related conflicts in Indonesia and the South Pacific.Read moreRead less

The sight of justice: images and the rule of law. The rule of law is a key issue in global and national governance, which this project will study in a novel way: through the images and art that have helped us make sense of it. This will give new insights into its history, evolution and current challenges, and new ways of encouraging public understanding and engagement with the law.
