The Routledge Handbook of Human Research Ethics and Integrity in Australia
The Routledge Handbook of Human Research Ethics and Integrity in Australia highlights why it is important to look at the subject of human research ethics and integrity within the Australian context, and what the Australian perspective can offer to all researchers in the social sciences and humanities globally. Australia has one of the world’s most rigorous ethics governance frameworks. This edited collection comprises 35 chapters, compiled with the aim of presenting human research ethics and integrity in a way that can be readily understood and applied by undergraduate and postgraduate students, early career and seasoned researchers, Human Research Ethics Committee members, and those who w...
Disaster Nationalism
The rise of the new far right has left the world grappling with a profound misunderstanding. While the spotlight often shines on the actions of charismatic leaders such as Donald Trump and Jair Bolsonaro, the true peril lies elsewhere. Defeating these people will not stem the tide driving them forward. They are merely the embodiment of profound forces that are rarely understood. Propelled through the vast networks of social media and fueled by far-right influencers, enthralled by images of disaster and fantasies of doom, they have emerged from a reservoir of societal despair, fear, and isolation. Within this seething cauldron, we witness not only the surge of far-right political movements bu...
Community Empowerment, Sustainable Cities, and Transformative Economies
This edited volume presents the conference papers from the 1st International Conference on Business, Economics, Management, and Sustainability (BEMAS), organized by the Centre for International Trade and Business in Asia (CITBA) at James Cook University. This book argues that the orthodox methods of external risks, climate change adaptation plans, and sustainable economic growth in cities are no longer adequate. These methods, so far, have not only ignored the ongoing structural changes associated with economic development but also failed to account for evolving industries’ composition and the emergence of new comparative advantages and skills. Specifically, this book looks at the vulnerab...
Resisting Indonesia’s Culture of Impunity
Resisting Indonesia’s Culture of Impunity examines the role of Indonesia’s first truth and reconciliation commission—the Aceh Truth and Reconciliation Commission, or KKR Aceh—in investigating and redressing the extensive human rights violations committed during three decades of brutal separatist conflict (1976–2005) in the province of Aceh. The KKR Aceh was founded in late 2016, as a product of the 2005 peace deal between the Indonesian government and the Free Aceh Movement (GAM). It has since faced many challenges—not least from Indonesia’s security forces and former GAM leaders, who have joined together in their determination to maintain impunity for their respective roles in...
Fiers de punir
Excédés par le présumé laxisme des tribunaux, les justiciers autoproclamés s’évertuent à punir par eux-mêmes les fauteurs de trouble. Violant la loi pour maintenir l'ordre, ils s'improvisent détectives, juges et bourreaux. Adeptes du lynchage et autres châtiments spectaculaires, ils trouvent un nouveau public sur les réseaux sociaux. Des groupes d'autodéfense du Far West aux chasseurs de pédophiles en Russie contemporaine, les justiciers hors-la-loi sont typiquement des hommes blancs, réactionnaires et xénophobes. Toutefois, mouvements révolutionnaires et défenseurs des dominés ne s'interdisent pas de manier, à leur tour, le fouet et le feu. L’auto-justice compte en ou...

This book explores the secret police organizations of East Asian dictators: their origins, operations, and effects on ordinary citizens' lives.
Civil Society in the Philippines
Drawing on qualitative and quantitative research, this book provides a path-breaking account of civil society in the Philippines. It challenges the widespread belief in political science and development studies literature that civil society in developing countries is an institutional arena in which the poor can challenge and reverse their social, economic and political marginalization. The book goes on to argue that Philippine civil society is a captive of organised elite interests and anti-developmental in its impacts, helping elites to oppose the initiatives of reform-minded governments and to protect their interests. In contrast to literature suggesting that the character of civil society...
