Institutions and their governance are frequently part of our most pressing problems - not least in our national research priorities. Hence, institutions are invariably a key part of the solutions. GovNet unites three ARC Centres, two existing networks (RegNet, ANZSOG) and several other dynamic centres to create an interdisciplinary network of ethicists, lawyers, political scientists, economists and historians. It will tackle issues of institutional governance, from small firms to global institutions - recognising both common governance issues and radically differing contexts. Together with APSEG and government agencies, it will apply cutting edge cross-disciplinary, theory-driven, evidence-based research to governance issues in the region.Read moreRead less

Summary
EGaLnet: Networking relevant humanities (ethics, law, history) and social sciences (politics, economics, sociology) to analyse and address institutional governance issues. Despite western emphasis on individuals, we live our lives largely in, and through, institutions. Institutions and their governance are generally part of our most pressing problems (including those relating to national research priorities): institutions are almost invariably a key part of the solution.

Despite western emphasis on individuals, we live our lives largely in, and through, institutions. Institutions and their governance are generally part of our most pressing problems (including those relating to national research priorities): institutions are almost invariably a key part of the solution.
This project builds on two ARC centres (CAPPE, KCELJAG) established following our last SRI networking grant (?Applied Ethics and Legal Theory?). It will establish a globally significant interdisciplinary governance group (including the world's largest applied ethics grouping) that will be a major player in emerging networks and to contribute to governance reform in Australia and its region.Read moreRead less
