Does citizen deliberation inside representative institutions enhance legitimacy among non-participating publics?
Claims that citizen deliberation can strengthen public confidence in democracy rest on the assumption that it enhances the perceived procedural legitimacy of democratic governance. We test this assumption by examining whether integrating deliberative constituent forums into electoral-representative institutions increases perceived legitimacy among non-participating publics and which specific features of such forums drive these diffuse effects. We…

The trajectory of democratic innovations in Australia: Between democratic creativity and institutional stubbornness
This article examines the divergent trajectories of democratic innovations in Australia and contextualises the institutional constraints on efforts to revise and improve traditional mechanisms of political participation and decision-making.

Public ambivalence towards democracy has come under increasing scrutiny. It is a mood registered perhaps most clearly in the fact populist figures, from Trump to Orbàn to Duterte, appear to carry strong appeal despite the fact, or perhaps because of the fact, they pose a threat to democratic institutions and processes of governance. Are ambivalent citizens the grave threat to democracy they are often portrayed to be in media and academic discours…
Debt-for-development exchanges in Australia: Past, Present and Future
Debt-for-development exchanges are one technique through which to address the ongoing debt crisis in the less-developed world. This paper discusses how Australia's first debt-for-development exchange, with Indonesia, came into being, and explores future possibilities for Australian debt exchanges. It is an interesting example of how activists and advocates can successfully pursue innovative public policy solutions to development problems. More im…
