Opportunities for more ecologically centred and equitable relations in local government environmental discourse
Academics’ perspectives of the purpose and enactment of accreditation of health professions programs in Australia
This article offers a critical exploration of the espoused purpose and implementation of accreditation of health professions programs in Australia from the perspectives of academics at an Australian university. It examines enactment of accreditation in supporting the development of work-ready graduates through outcome-based education. By drawing upon Yanow’s interpretive policy approach, this qualitative study identifies similarities in perceptio…
Assessing the coherence of ecosystem service consideration in environmental planning
The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDGs) 2030 rely on healthy ecosystems providing a multitude of benefits and services for a sustainable society. Many SDG goals are cross-cutting and attaining these is highly reliant on policy coherence. Coherent policy settings enhance the synergies between goals and minimise disproportionate trade-offs. However, research indicates policy coherence and its implications for achieving SDGs is a n…

Protecting the Flock or Policing the Sheep? Differences in School Resource Officers' Perceptions of Threats by School Racial Composition
Law enforcement officers (often called school resource officers or SROs) are an increasingly common feature in schools across the United States. Although SROs' roles vary across school contexts, there has been little examination of why. One possible explanation is that SROs perceive threats differently in different school contexts and that the racial composition of schools may motivate these differences. To investigate this possibility, this stud…
Environmental Challenges for Public Value Theory and Practice
Mark Moore’s concept of public value (PV) has emerged as a credible, if not fully formed, alternative to new public management (NPM). Notwithstanding this, PV has also attracted criticism, with Benington and Moore identifying the critique from ‘ecology’ as particularly challenging. Therefore, this paper explores the challenges that environmental issues and thoughts present for PV scholarship and practice. This paper discusses why PV needs to enga…

Avaliações de consumidores online suscitam desafios analíticos para as ciências sociais pois são escritas por amadores, são publicadas rapidamente e estão disponíveis para todos que tenham acesso à internet. Neste artigo exploratório, comparamos as Avaliações Escritas do TripAdvisor (AET) de quiosques de praia no Brasil e na Austrália e argumentamos que as AET são uma fonte útil para percebermos as diferenças nas representações coletivas da beira…
Towards good governance of urban greening
Urban greening can enhance sustainability and liveability, through conserving biodiversity, mitigating urban heat and enhancing people’s health and wellbeing. However, urban greening is complex, as it occurs in unique ecological settings, with social, cultural and economic factors shaping the forms it takes. This raises questions about the governance of urban greening, including what counts as ‘good governance’. In this paper, we first outline pr…
A guide to policy analysis as a research method
Policy analysis provides a way for understanding how and why governments enact certain policies, and their effects. Public health policy research is limited and lacks theoretical underpinnings. This article aims to describe and critique different approaches to policy analysis thus providing direction for undertaking policy analysis in the field of health promotion. Through the use of an illustrative example in nutrition it aims to illustrate the …
Unpacking the politics of natural capital and economic metaphors in environmental policy discourse
Economic metaphors – including natural capital, natural assets, ecosystem services, and ecological debt – are becoming commonplace in environmental policy discourse. Proponents consider such terms provide a clearer idea of the ‘value’ of nature, and are useful for ensuring the environment is given due attention in decision making. Critical discourse analysis highlights the ideological work language does; the way in which we think, write, and talk…

Overlapping Forms of Knowledge in Environmental Governance
Public sector environmental governance involves complex interactions between different forms of knowledge. Public sector reforms have important implications for environmental governance by changing the relationships between knowledge systems. By comparing the views of environmental policy workers the implications of public sector management reform for environmental governance are explored. The analysis presented highlights that environmental poli…

Another Opportunity Lost? Victorian Labor's Enactment of Sustainability, 1999–2010
‘Sustainability’ provides the dominant frame for environmental policy debate, even though there is considerable debate to as to what sustainability is, why is it needed, and how can it be progressed. From 1999 through to 2010, Victoria was governed by Australian Labor Party (ALP) led governments that, at times, actively pursued the goal of sustainable development. This culminated in the stated ambition for Victoria to be ‘world leaders in environ…
Towards an Improved Understanding of Knowledge Dynamics in Integrated Coastal Zone Management
Integrated coastal zone management (ICZM) is a complex undertaking that draws on a range of biophysical and social science disciplines, and involves a wide range of stakeholders operating through multiple processes, and crossing various levels.Conceptually, this means that ICZM represents a significant challenge in terms of improving the way in which different disciplinary 'knowledges' and different forms of knowledge (scientific, managerial, lay…

Assessing the effects of neighborhood councils on urban policy and development
Neighborhood councils form an important and sometimes problematic layer in the governance system of many cities across the USA. The literature on these institutions has focused mainly on their hypothesized role in facilitating citizen participation in neighborhood and city planning. Less work has explored the experiences of neighborhood councils as placed-based institutions theoretically embedded within, and therefore ostensibly reflective of, th…
Dignity and indignation
This article examines how people experiencing homelessness view their interactions with service providers. Drawing on a database of more than 500 transcribed interviews with people experiencing homelessness we find that descriptions of interactions with staff and providers were predominantly expressed in sharply negative terms, with experiences of objectification and infantilization being commonplace. In response to these experiences, nearly all …
New Governance, Green Planning and Sustainability
Bridgman and Davis (2000:91) have argued that ‘ideally government will have a well developed and widely distributed policy framework, setting out economic, social and environmental objectives’. This article compares and evaluates two such frameworks or plans, Tasmania Together and Growing Victoria Together, in terms of their potential to promote sustainability. It argues that they are very different exercises in new governance, aimed at reconnect…
Destroy the scum, and then neuter their families
On-line media forums have become common vehicles to promote discussion about particular issues or events. This essay addresses the degree to which the anonymity of such computer-mediated communication affects the level and tone of discourse when sensitive or volatile local issues are the focus of discussion. Nearly 300 postings to a web forum that was established by a newspaper in response to a brutal murder that took place in the community are e…
Investment Incentives as a Means of Encouraging Tourism Development
tourism makes to the development process in Third World nations (Lea, 1988: 37-50). Despite this, tourism has been viewed as a means of gaining foreign exchange, reducing unemployment, and providing funds for invest? ment in other sectors of the economy. Given the perceived advantages, it is not surprising that public officials in many developing countries have embraced tourism 'as a strategy for economic growth' (Mathieson and Wall, 1982: 41). I…
