Australian Centre for Federalism - Journal Articles and Essays

Journal Articles and Essay

The Centre will publish from time to time regular essays on federalism and multi-governance experience both in Australia and from other countries, written by distinguished academic visitors to the School of Politics and International Relations. These essays will provide new comparative perspectives on what outside scholars find interesting and problematic about federalism here and beyond. The idea is to look beyond Australia, or, to consider Australia in comparative perspective in order to find new questions and renew debate.
