The Political in the Anthropocene
This article was prompted by a Ministerial veto (2021) of the Australian Research Council’s decision to fund a research project by the authors to explore the student-led climate movement in Australia. It was also prompted by criticism of the veto which accused the Minister of bringing “politics” into what was represented as a scholarly matter. It addresses two questions: How should we understand this idea of “politics” in the context of Australia…
Elections
As a form of leader selection, elections have been practiced since the Greek city‐states, but until the modern period they have generally been used only by a narrow “selectorate,” of whom the selected leader is closely representative. In modern democracies, with mass voting, ideological undercurrents, religious divides, and social classes, why people vote in the ways they do has become an increasingly important field of study. The key to election…
A response to narratives and counter-narratives
Existing narratives surrounding the failure of the CPRS in 2009 have particularly centred on the nature of ALP negotiations with other parties. The article discusses reasonably effectively the strong bipartisan nature of many of the votes taken within the Senate, and when dissecting the events leading to the defeat of the CPRS Bill seeks to suggest that the often-bipartisan nature of voting is indicative of the normality of negotiations over the …
Going Green in Asia? Green parties in a non-western setting
Green parties, first established in the early 1970s, have now become established political actors in most western European countries, and indeed most western nations. In other parts of the globe, however, they have generally been far less successful, not the least in the Asia Pacific region. In part this can be seen as an outcome of unfavourable electoral conditions in many countries in the region, but can also be linked to western notions of Gre…
Australian Greens party members and supporters
In an era of widespread party membership decline, there is debate over the utility, within the ‘European’ tradition, of conceptualising party membership as the locus of individual party engagement, and of maintaining membership and supportership as distinct categories in analysing party activism. This debate is particularly relevant to Green parties, which, through their particular social movement origins and emphasis on grass-roots democracy, br…
Green Parties in Federal Systems
Green parties promote decentralization as a functional organizing principle but also a normative goal. This has been most vividly realized through the creation of comparatively devolved party structures. In federations, this can assume a territorial dimension and may lead to the adoption of confederal or federal models of party organization. Surprisingly little work has been undertaken on these arrangements when they have been implemented by gree…
Leadership and the Australian Greens
This paper examines the inherent tension between a Green political party’s genesis and official ideology and the conventional forms and practices of party leadership enacted in the vast bulk of other parties, regardless of their place on the ideological spectrum. A rich picture is painted of this ongoing struggle through a case study of the Australian Greens with vivid descriptions presented on organisational leadership issues by Australian state…
Thinking Activists
Are the Australian Greens, as a political organisation, experiencing a similar transformation to green parties in Europe in moving from a movement-based party to a pragmatic parliamentary party? What are the implications of changes in the party organisation, and how key party activists respond to this? The debate surrounding party leadership, and particularly parliamentary leadership, is a central issue. As the Greens have increased their parliam…
