The Dual‐Use Conundrum of the Lisbon Treaty Regarding Space Governance: Solutions Through International Legal Interpretation
An inherent divide features within the Lisbon Treaty between civilian and military/security competences; something previously more obvious via the ‘pillar system's’ separations. This division follows the Member States (MS) (natural) protection of their military/defence autonomy; their core sovereign powers. Such powers are thus not conferred upon the Union. This constitutes a fundamental challenge for EU space governance, because space assets are…
ICE at the Door, Tests on the Floor: Student Achievement and Local Immigration Enforcement
Federal immigration statutes are enforced by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). However, ICE enforcement does not occur in a vacuum; it has a well-documented legacy of spillovers. Understanding the actual behaviors of immigration enforcement is exceedingly difficult owing to opaque or unavailable data. In this article, we are able to match the level of local immigration enforcement in local areas to school-district-level elementary and mi…
They Take the Fear out of Failing: Children's and Parents’ Experiences of the Risky Kids Program in Australia
Risky Kids is an Australian community‐based program that seeks to build resilience in children and adolescents by teaching ‘risk intelligence’ through parkour, ninja, and free‐running skills, underpinned by psychological approaches. The aim of this study was to explore children's and parents’ experiences of the Risky Kids program. We interviewed 18 children aged 6–13 years and held three focus groups with 15 parents and caregivers across three si…

Spiritual inclusiveness at end-of-life for Punjabi Indians: Experience with Regional Residential Aged Care Facilities
This article draws on data generated from a wider study into experiences of the Punjabi Indians with palliative care services at regional residential aged care facilities (RACFs) in the Riverina region of New South Wales (NSW) Australia. Using a qualitative phenomenological approach, group interviews with the Punjabi Indians and the care staff of RACFs reveal a perceived substandard quality of psychosocial care, one that overlooks religious and s…
Challenges facing regional live music venues: A case study of venues in Armidale, NSW
This article draws from a wider research project undertaken in 2018 in Armidale, a small regional city in New South Wales (NSW) Australia, to explore the challenges commercial venues face in presenting and maintaining a regular live music programme. An analysis of the main themes suggests that the issues regional venues encounter are often qualitatively and/or quantitatively different from those facing their urban counterparts. This research foun…
Drugs, moral panics and the dispositive
The concept of 'moral panics' continues to be used as a framework for analysing the causes, structures and functions of social and political crises. Nonetheless, as an analytical tool, such a framework is limited in its capacity to explain the ongoing and interconnected relationships between drugs and society. Drawing first on an interdiscursive and intertextual framework, the field of analysis is broadened to consider how recent drug panics in A…
Assessment rubrics: Thinking inside the boxes
Assessment rubrics are being promoted and introduced into tertiary teaching practices on the grounds that they are an efficient and reliable tool to evaluate student performance effectively and promote student learning. However, there has been little discussion on the value of using assessment rubrics in higher education. Rather, they are being gradually and (seemingly) uncritically mainstreamed into tertiary teaching expectations and practices, …
Supporting the Posts in Development Discourse: Under‐development, Over‐development, Post‐development
This article seeks to introduce scholars outside of development studies to post‐development thought, and to restate its relevance and value to those working within the development field. It begins with an overview of post‐development thought and its critique of the post‐World War Two development project. Following this, specific critiques levelled at post‐development thought and various responses to these are considered. In the last section, the …
Drug Law Enforcement: A Study in the Interplay of Power and Resistance
This article investigates the links between drug law enforcement initiatives designed to reduce the availability of illicit drugs, and the illicit drug problem in Australia. Of particular interest are supply-reduction initiatives designed to locate and eradicate the production of illicit drugs in ‘source’ countries; the interdiction of drugs at the border; and attempts to disrupt the distribution of drugs at the community or street level. The exa…
The emergence of Australia's national campaign against drug abuse: A case-study in the politics of drug control1
This article questions conceptualisations and attributions that record the emergence of Australia's first national drug campaign as a necessary and inevitable governmental response to an escalating social problem around drug abuse. I argue that the proposal for, and subsequent establishment of, the National Campaign Against Drug Abuse (NCADA) in 1984–85 was contingent upon historically specific discourses and events in the lead up to the 1984 fed…

Hurricane Katrina made landfall on the U.S. Gulf Coast on August 29, 2005, resulting in massive destruction from wind damage and storm surge. In Mississippi, the storm surge was an estimated 27 feet high at the Hancock County Emergency Operations Center and extended inland for 6-12 miles, causing extensive flooding in Biloxi and Gulfport and rendering approximately 80% of buildings in Waveland uninhabitable (1). The devastation was greatest in th…
Aids-related knowledge, perceptions, and behaviors among impoverished minority women
OBJECTIVES. The aims of this study were to (1) describe AIDS-related knowledge, perceptions, and risky behaviors of impoverished African-American and high- and low-acculturated Latina women; (2) delineate relationships involving high-risk behaviors; and (3) determine whether risky behaviors differ by race and levels of acculturation. METHODS. Survey instruments were administered to 1173 impoverished women of color residing in homeless shelters an…
