Research statement

Background The Sustainable Governance Indicators (SGI) analyze and compare the need for reform in Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) member countries, as well as each country's ability to respond to current social and political challenges. The project is designed to create a comprehensive data pool on government-related activities in the countries considered the world's most developed free-market democracies. This report analyses and summarises Australia's recent record in terms of the SGI indicators. The project is funded/organised The Bertelsmann Foundation, a think tank that aims to foster sustainability by identifying nascent challenges. Contribution This report contributes to the international dataset and analysis making up the Sustainable Governance Indicators. Like other country reports, it analyses the political institutions and governance practices that prevail in the country in focus (Australia). It is distinctive and original because the SGI framework broadens the analysis of governance to focus on problems of the future and the capacity of political systems to be oriented productively towards these. The data and my analysis/interpretation reveal that, from this perspective, Australia has important strengths but also some weaknesses in its governance framework. Significance The SGI programme is a major international research initiative, yielding a novel dataset that is shaping a new agenda on long-term governance challenges. The SGI methodology, bringing together political scientists and economics as well as both quantitative and qualitative sources, is highly innovative. The SGI data has been used in high-profile publications in political science, economics and other social science disciplines.
