Refereed Papers

These proceedings are of the Conference of the  Australasian Political Studies Association (APSA). APSA is the combined professional body representing Australian and New Zealand political scientists. The full written papers which are designated as refereed on this web site were the subject of a formal process of peer review, including at least one reviewer external to the Conference Editorial Board designed to ensure that the papers were of sufficient merit to be published in the proceedings of an academic conference of both national and international stature. The proceedings have been published not only for the convenience of members attending the conference but also so that they will be available for purchase by University Libraries, academics and students. APSA will therefore ensure that their availability for purchase is widely known.

These proceedings contain  86 refereed papers.
