Governance at community level: Small towns in rural Victoria
The 'blurring' of the boundaries between and within public and private sectors has led to new styles of governing that affect the way that rural communities organise themselves. Some have called this a shift from 'government' to 'governance' where there has been a convergence of neo-liberal and communitarian ideologies to form the basis of a new relationship between the state, the market and civil society. We analyse the impact of these convergin…

Elections and Representation in Local Government: A Victorian Case Study
This article examines the application of different views of representation in the electoral systems at local government level: interest, corporate and mirror representation. The electoral framework underpins the process of representation, influencing both who are eligible to become voters and how their votes are collected and counted.

To see “Oursels” As Others See Us! Images of Australia in Papua New Guinea
Gareth Evans has spelled out the importance of national image: ‘The images which others carry of us influence their attitudes towards us, our own security requirements, the export of our goods and services, and our appeal as a place to invest in, to migrate to, and visit’.

Variations in municipal electorate size in New South Wales
The spatial framework of local government should ensure that, as far as possible, all representatives have the same opportunity to adequately fulfil their constituency role. Subdivision into wards and ridings should allow closer contact between representatives and voters. However, subdivision is voluntary and less than half of all municipalities have wards. Despite their advantages no single member wards have been created. A more formal procedure…
Community Councils in Scotland: Some Lessons for New South Wales Local Government
The concept of “community councils” is one which has gained increasing prominence in Scottish local government during the last few years. Their main function is simply to advise local councillors on the views of the local community. Our basic contention is that the local government system in New South Wales (and, probably, other states) could benefit from studying the Scottish experience
