ABOUT US

The School of Regulation and Global Governance (RegNet) tackles the big issues that define our time For the last 20 years, RegNet has carried out transformative research that develops innovative ways of responding to the complex and interconnected challenges of the 21st century. Our work aims to enhance the governance of major social, environmental and health issues in the pursuit of a more just and equitable world.

from different backgrounds sustains our vibrant community. We are united by a shared intellectual curiosity in regulation and governance and a commitment to deep and collegial engagement. Robust research is the foundation for our education programs, which are designed to train the governors and regulatory leaders of today and tomorrow.

RegNet is renowned for its paradigmshifting conceptualisations of regulation and governance. We are committed to understanding the many actors and institutions that are involved in steering the flow of events. Our approach to regulation is not limited to law and formal rules. Rather, it includes, for example, built structures like walls and stairs that shape our physical movement, the design of the internet, the operation of markets and the everyday norms that guide behaviour. Regulators are not just government agencies; they can be international networks, private organisations, religious institutions, civil society actors and customary leaders.

Through this unique approach, RegNet’s research, education and outreach address some of society’s greatest concerns–climate change, conflict and injustice, disruptive technologies, economic and health inequality and geopolitical contestation. Working collaboratively, we generate theoretically informed and empirical research that contributes to policy, practice and public discourse in Australia, Asia, the Pacific and globally.

The character of our School is unique: we are inclusive and cooperative in our approach while being bold and ambitious in our actions. A diverse network of experts

MESSAGE FROM THE DIRECTOR

Professor Kate Henne Over the last twenty years, RegNet has committed to understanding and anticipating the major societal challenges of our time, offering robust research and nuanced analysis to help make sense of them. The events of the last two years highlight the critical importance of RegNet’s mission to produce innovative work that supports effective regulation and equitable governance. 2021 was an exciting year for RegNet. In addition to important scholarly publications, our experts provided timely evidence-informed commentaries in media outlets and public forums. Members of the Menzies Centre for Health Governance delivered a valuable assessment of Australian COVID policy responses and their impact on health equity. Our Justice and Technoscience Lab (JusTech) reported findings on how people have adapted to changing regulatory conditions over the course of the pandemic. RegNet continued its external engagement with Dr Virginia Marshall’s participation at the United Nations (UN) Climate Change Conference (UNCCC COP26) in Glasgow as a delegate for the Pacific and Knowledge Holder, nominated by the Indigenous Peoples’ Organisation–Australia. Closer to home, the Centre for Restorative Justice, in partnership with the ANU Centre for Social Research & Methods, convened a public symposium on sexual assault survivor-initiated restorative justice.

ANU COLLEGE OF ASIA AND THE PACIFIC

We also celebrated many significant achievements this year. Professor Sharon Friel won a prestigious Australian Laureate Fellowship to support pioneering research on governing for planetary health equity. Distinguished Professor Hilary Charlesworth became the first Australian woman elected to the International Court of Justice (ICJ), and Distinguished Professor John Braithwaite received the 2021 Peter Baume Award, the highest accolade for ANU staff. We were delighted to see the RegNet community grow in 2021. Associate Professor Lia Kent rejoined the School, winning a highly competitive Australian Research Council Future Fellowship for her project, Local responses to missing persons and post-conflict peacebuilding. We also welcomed Dr Benjamin Herscovitch, Dr Emma Nyhan and Dr Depi Susilawati on board. Despite periods of lockdown, colleagues collaborated to advance a diverse portfolio of work. The uncertainty prompted us to reflect on the meaning of connection and disconnection. Although the global pandemic disconnected us in ways we could not imagine, we found new ways to connect. These reflections formed the basis of our annual conversation series event, which we held as three webinars in October.

2021, a year in excellence

2021 wasn’t simply an opportunity to find new connections; we deepened them as well. With Hilary Charlesworth’s election to the ICJ, Professor Anthea Roberts took over as Director of the International Centre for Governance and Justice. She has already brought together different strands of RegNet work in new and creative ways. We look forward to sharing more about the centre’s next phase in 2022.

staff worked hard as a team–often behind the scenes–to ensure things ran smoothly.

Beyond research, we expanded the School’s educational offerings. We welcomed another cohort of students into the Graduate Certificate of Regulation and Governance and launched two new programs, the Master of Regulation and Governance and a specialisation in Contemporary Regulation as part of ANU Master of Public Policy degree. We also developed a Graduate Certificate of Crime and Regulation and partnered with the ANU College of Science to create the Graduate Certificate of Nuclear Technology Regulation, both of which are accepting students for 2022.

Thank you for your ongoing interest in the work of RegNet. We wish you well in the year ahead.

Our activities received generous support from key Australian funding agencies and government departments, including several competitive external grants and three awards from the ANU College of Asia and the Pacific’s Asia Pacific Innovation Program (APIP). Of course, funding alone does not keep the RegNet ship afloat. Our wonderful professional

Professor Sharon Friel Australian Laureate Fellowship Project Governance for Planetary Health Equity This Laureate program will use the novel lens of Planetary Health Equity to advance understanding of the impact of climate change on health inequities, and the importance for global health equity of considering planetary as well as human systems. Using international and multi-sectoral comparative analysis, it intends to elucidate how institutions and actors can enable the development of coherent policy and business practices that advance planetary health equity.

ANNUAL REPORT 2021

Professor Sharon Friel has been awarded a prestigious Australian Laureate to advance our understanding of the interactions between climate change and health inequity, and create a new field of governance for planetary health equity.

In reflecting on being the first and only person in her family to go to university (until her niece started in 2017), Professor Friel says that winning the Laureate feels “lovely, a little surreal and an important responsibility.” “I would like to think that my award of the Laureate shows others from a variety of backgrounds what is possible, remembering the importance of structural and social support that sits behind this success,” she says. The fellowship project will use the lens of planetary health equity, defined as the environmentally sustainable and equitable enjoyment of good health, to advance our understanding of the interactions between climate change and health inequity, and create a new field of governance for planetary health equity. Commenting on the complex challenges facing the world today, Professor Friel says that COVID-19 has thrown into sharp relief the deep and entrenched social and health inequities that we experience in Australia and across the world. “These inequities are only going to get worse under climate change unless there are marked improvements in the conditions in which people are born, grow, live, work and age. “If transformative action to mitigate climate change is not taken soon, the risks to human health, health inequities, and indeed human survival will be immense. Most affected will be socially disadvantaged groups who are least able to adapt to the changing climate.”

ANU COLLEGE OF ASIA AND THE PACIFIC

This cycle of climate change and health inequity is aggravated by the global consumptogenic system, which is characterised by institutions, policies, business practices, social norms and behaviours that encourage and reward excessive production and consumption of fossil fuel-reliant goods and services that are unhealthy and inequitably valued and distributed. The consumptogenic system is a root cause of health inequities and climate change. “The Laureate aims to identify how the consumptogenic system can be realigned towards planetary health equity goals,” Professor Friel explains. The Director of the Menzies Centre for Health Governance at RegNet and Fellow of the Australian Academy of Social Sciences emphasised three main aspects of the Laureate: Big, bold and disruptive research–the Laureate will provide a road map for planetary health equity. The project will integrate health, social equity and climate change agendas, deepen our understanding of the political economy of the consumptogenic system, and identify how the power of different interests, ideas and institutions hinder or enable the development of coherent policy and business practices for planetary health equity.

Action focused–the Laureate focuses on understanding how systems change can happen. It will examine how to embed Planetary Health Equity in All Policies and identify the Commercial determinants of Planetary Health Equity. Ultimately the Laureate will provide evidence-informed strategies for socially-oriented actors, including government, international organisations and non-government organisations to advance system transformation for planetary health equity. Nurturing minds for the future–the Laureate award enables a five-year program of work that will equip early career researchers (ECRs) and PhD students with intellectual, practical and strategic skills for their career as well as building deep disciplinary expertise. It will create a cohort of future leaders and innovators in the new field of governance for planetary health equity, and more generally in interdisciplinary systems-based approaches to complex societal problems. RegNet School Director Professor Kate Henne congratulated Professor Friel on her success. “This is a wonderful outcome and a welldeserved recognition of the significant work Sharon and her team have done over the years. We are looking forward to the many contributions this project will make to advancing understandings on how to create systems change that will improve planetary health equity.”

REGNET

The Laureate program will build upon Professor Friel’s and her team’s work that focuses on the social and commercial determinants of health equity. Their work has identified important structural drivers of health inequities: policy incoherence, the privileging of economic over social and health interests, and power asymmetries between socially-and marketoriented actors. The Laureate aims to understand and change these factors to better improve planetary health equity. Looking back at her career, Professor Friel reflected on the outstanding mentors who guided her to become a global leader in the field of health equity. “They gave me a platform, and opened doors for me to influential academics and policy makers. In doing this, I have been able to help create a step change in academic and policy approaches to health equity,” she says. However, creating a paradigm shift often means working at institutional and disciplinary edges and being outside her comfort zone. To operate in such a way, without being disadvantaged in career trajectory, can be challenging and requires support. Professor Friel aims to do what her mentors did for her: to create a nurturing, enabling and ‘opening of doors’ program for junior scholars, particularly female scholars. “I will create a platform that gives junior scholars the confidence to be disruptive and have a prominent voice,” she emphasised.

Associate Professor Lia Kent ARC Future Fellowship Project Local responses to missing persons and post-conflict peacebuilding. This project aims to fundamentally reshape dominant thinking on the problem of missing persons in post-conflict peacebuilding. Through the first large-scale comparative ethnography of Timor-Leste and Sri Lanka, the research will bring local community approaches, needs and practices around ‘the missing’ in from the margins to the centre of scholarly analysis and practice.

REGNET

ANNUAL REPORT 2021

Over 100,000 people are missing around the globe due to various conflicts, creating enormous challenges for societies attempting to rebuild. Associate Professor Lia Kent, whose important project has been acknowledged with an ARC Future Fellowship, aims to bring to the fore local understandings of ‘the missing’ and family and community attempts to resolve the social and political dilemmas ‘the missing’ create.

Associate Professor Kent, while relieved at the prospect of having a job for the next four years given these difficult and precarious times in academia, is also excited at the possibilities the Fellowship opens up for her to extend her research. “I am especially excited at the potential to build my research relationships internationally and to work with, and mentor, a new generation of researchers in Australia and the Asia-Pacific. “I am really pleased that the ARC recognises the need for a project which focuses on how we might develop better understandings of, and responses to, the problem of conflictrelated missing persons. This is an issue that has been neglected in studies of post-conflict peacebuilding and yet is critical to building sustainable peace.” With a focus on Timor-Leste and Sri Lanka, the project will be the first large-scale comparative ethnography of local practices around ‘the missing’, and their interrelationship with the practices of state, international and non-government organisation (NGO) actors. “‘The missing’ tend to be narrowly interpreted as a human rights problem to be resolved through transitional justice mechanisms or an inconvenient political problem to be resolved through bureaucratic control. This project starts from the premise that ‘the missing’ is a multifaceted problem that demands an interdisciplinary approach and close attention to local understandings and agency,” she said.

ANU COLLEGE OF ASIA AND THE PACIFIC

RegNet School Director Professor Kate Henne congratulated Associate Professor Kent on her accomplishment and for bringing the first ever ARC Future Fellowship to RegNet.

“ This is a fantastic outcome that attests to the importance of Lia’s work on post-conflict recovery. This project promises to advance understandings of processes that are central to peacebuilding and to develop more robust methodological approaches to comparative analysis.” A recipient of the 2015 ARC Discovery Early Career Researcher Award (DECRA), Associate Professor Kent has been conducting research on peacebuilding in Timor-Leste for nearly 20 years. In her recent DECRA project on how East Timorese communities are remembering the violence of the Indonesian occupation, she documented the widespread practices of local communities and families in searching for, identifying, and reburying of the bodies of those who died during the 24-year Indonesian occupation.

“ I began to puzzle over how families grieve, mourn, and rebuild their lives and

communities when the fate of ‘the missing’ is not known, and their bodies cannot be identified or recovered. ‘The missing’ occupy an ambiguous or ‘in-between’ status as they are neither alive nor confirmed dead, neither present nor fully absent,” Associate Professor Kent reflected. This has prompted questions such as: how does this ‘in-between-ness’ disrupt grieving, community relationships and the creation of new political communities; what urgent new practices and rituals are propelled by ‘the missing’; and how do these practices intersect with the politics of state-building, bureaucratic control and international practices of transitional justice? In the past three years, her interest in these questions has deepened while living in Sri Lanka, which has one of the highest numbers of missing persons in the world. In both Timor-Leste and Sri Lanka, there has been considerable friction between official responses to the problem of ‘the missing’ and families and communities. For instance, in Sri Lanka, the government has established an Office for Missing Persons that has been met with distrust from families and Mothers of the Disappeared groups, who conduct daily protest vigils to demand their missing relatives be returned alive. In Timor-Leste, the government

REGNET

has tried to prevent expensive local and family-led practices of searching for ‘the missing’, yet these practices continue. Associate Professor Kent hopes this project will contribute to new ways of conceptualising the problem of ‘the missing’ in peace and conflict studies that can help foster more effective international, state and NGO responses. She will be engaging with policymakers in Timor-Leste and Sri Lanka as well as with international organisations working on missing persons, including the International Committee on the Red Cross. Associate Professor Kent envisions long-term research partnerships with scholars in the Asia-Pacific region to strengthen the capacity of emerging researchers. She mentions an urgent need to ‘decolonise’ scholarly research on the Global South, which remains dominated by scholars from the Global North. “I hope to make a modest contribution to the project of decolonisation by fostering a network of scholars and activists in the AsiaPacific region working on ‘the missing’ and related themes. I will also mentor research assistants in Timor-Leste and Sri Lanka and encourage them to pursue their own research projects,” she explains.

First Australian wom elected to the Intern Court of Justice Distinguished Professor Hilary Charlesworth

International Law and human rights scholar, Distinguished Professor Hilary Charlesworth made history on 5 November 2021 as the first Australian woman ever elected to the United Nation’s International Court of Justice (ICJ). She received an absolute majority of votes cast by the 193 Member States of the United Nations (UN) and will replace former Australian judge, James Richard Crawford, who passed away in May 2021. Professor Charlesworth, who was educated at the University of Melbourne and Harvard Law School, has worked with various nongovernmental human rights organisations on ways to implement international human rights standards. As a veteran judge, she was chair of the Australian Capital Territory government’s inquiry into an ACT bill of rights, which led to the adoption of the ACT Human Rights Act 2004. Hilary was also appointed judge ad hoc of the International Court of Justice in 2011 for the Whaling in the Antarctic case. ANU Vice-Chancellor Professor Brian Schmidt congratulated Professor Charlesworth on her election to the ICJ.

Meet Meredith Edel winner of the 2021 J.G. Crawford Prize f outstanding thesis RegNet alumna Dr Meredith Edelman believes in justice. She started early with volunteer programs, and has continued to work with and for organisations serving victims of domestic violence, after-school programs for children of lower-income families, but most frequently those providing legal services to migrants and low-income people. Meredith studied law at the University of Southern California, where she met RegNet’s now-director, Kate Henne, while playing rugby. In her academic life, Meredith found herself interested in bankruptcy and insolvency law. Having studied religion as an undergraduate, she was intrigued by the United States’ (US) bankruptcy systems’ grounding in religious and normative ideas about forgiveness. Insolvency systems are crucial to functioning economies, but Meredith saw a system designed to give a ‘fresh start’ to ‘honest but unfortunate debtors’, and thought of the links between debt, sin, and the power of forgiveness. After law school, Meredith went to work for a corporate law firm, planning to learn the practice from some of the world’s best lawyers while paying off her school debt. After five years at two of the worlds’ largest law firms, she was ready for the next chapter. She wanted to weave together the insights she gained as a corporate structuring lawyer with a sharp analysis of how legal and social orders

do not work for poor communities in the ways they do for her rich and more powerful clients. While applying to PhD programs in the US and overseas, Meredith turned to her friend Kate, who suggested that she read some of Distinguished Professor John Braithwaite’s work. Meredith started with Crime, Shame, and Reintegration, and her interests were sparked. Things took a turn when she learned of the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse being appointed in Australia and ideas of a project started to percolate. After applying to programs, she was thrilled to be accepted to ANU to work with Professor Braithwaite on her project, which turned into her thesis, “Judging the Church: Legal Systems and Accountability for Clerical Sexual Abuse of Children”. As a newcomer to social sciences, Meredith’s PhD journey had its challenges. She had to learn new approaches to research, writing, and even new paradigms of thought. However, through all her struggles, Professor Braithwaite remained a constant source of support, advice and wisdom. “The balance between challenging a student to engage with new ideas, providing constructive feedback, and allowing the student space to grow with a project is difficult to strike, but John was really great in this respect,” Meredith reflected.

for “He pointed me to things to read, introduced me to people to speak with, and talked me through my ideas, but he never took over my project. I am grateful for the privilege of having been his student.” Professor Braithwaite said Meredith’s work informs real-world policy and practice across various institutions looking for ways to tackle sexual abuse. “Meredith’s research considers how to hold these actors and organisations to account–and in ways that reflect the needs and wishes of survivors. We at RegNet are so proud of how Meredith has tackled such a challenging issue of legal regulation to produce such important insights on how to prevent future suffering of children.” The quality of her research was recognised when she was awarded the 2021 J.G. Crawford Prize. “When I received my examiners reports, it felt like a gigantic relief, and I was so exceptionally pleased. Winning the Crawford Prize, however, was really just unexpected and wonderful.” Meredith hopes that her work contributes to better understanding how to hold institutions and organisations accountable for wrongdoing. “Words cannot express my admiration, appreciation, and gratitude for the bravery and strength of character demonstrated by so many people who, after experiencing heinous,

violent betrayals by those who they should have been able to trust, had the wherewithal to seek accountability from one of the most powerful institutions in the world. “The incredible bravery of victims of clerical child abuse all over the world who are willing to tell their stories inspires me,” she added. Meredith recalled the many people whose advice, encouragement, insights, kindness, generosity, and criticism helped her along the way. “I’ve conducted most of the thesis research on land whose traditional custodians include the Ngunnawal, Wadawurrung, Dja Dja Wurrung, Diné, Apache, and Pueblo peoples, and would like to pay my respects to the elders and other peoples who suffered, or whose children and loved ones suffered, abuse and exploitation in schools, missions, or other institutions through which religious organisations participated in projects of colonisation around the world. “There are so many other people whose advice, encouragement, insights, kindness, generosity, and criticism I am grateful to. Without the support of John, Kate, RegNet, the broader ANU community, colleagues, friends, and family, I would not have finished the PhD, much less won any awards, and I am so very grateful to all of them.”

Six Faces of Globalization: Who Wins, Who Loses, and Why It Matters by Anthea Roberts and Nicolas Lamp

Professor Anthea Roberts has published a new book on the virtues and vices of economic globalisation with Associate Professor Nicolas Lamp of Queen’s University. The book has been named one of the “Best Books of the Year” by both the Financial Times and Fortune Magazine, and was ranked 1st on Amazon’s Best Sellers list for “International and Foreign Law.”

Six Faces of Globalization: Who Wins, Who Loses, and Why It Matters (Harvard University Press, October 2021) is an essential guide to the intractable public debates about economic globalisation, cutting through the complexity to reveal the fault lines that divide us and the points of agreement that might bring us together. When it comes to the politics of free trade and open borders, the camps are dug in, producing a kaleidoscope of claims and counterclaims, unlikely alliances, and unexpected foes.

ANU COLLEGE OF ASIA AND THE PACIFIC

But what exactly are we fighting about? And how might we approach these issues more productively? Roberts and Lamp cut through the confusion, expertly guiding us through six competing narratives about the virtues and vices of globalisation. Instead of picking sides, they provide a more holistic framework for understanding current debates and, in so doing, showcase a more integrative way of thinking about complex problems.

Survival Governance: Energy and Climate in the Chinese Century by Peter Drahos

Professor Peter Drahos has published a new book that compares the governance capabilities of China, the United States, the European Union, and India on climate and technology issues.

To deal with the climate crisis we need a new paradigm of technological and social development aimed at the restoration of ecological systems–the bio-digital energy paradigm–and China is the world power best positioned to lead this change. The climate and energy crisis requires a strong state to change the direction, speed, and scale of innovation in world capitalism. There are only a few possible contenders for catalysing this governance of survival: China, the European Union, India, and the United States. While China is an improbable leader–and in fact the world’s biggest emitter of greenhouse gasses–Peter Drahos explains in Survival Governance: Energy and Climate in the Chinese Century why this authoritarian state is actually more likely to implement systemic change swiftly and effectively than any other power. As Drahos explains, America is incapable of reducing the power of its fossil fuel industry. For its part, the European Union’s approach is too incremental and slowed by complex

ANU COLLEGE OF ASIA AND THE PACIFIC

internal negotiations to address a crisis that demands a rapid response. India’s capacity to be a global leader on energy innovation is questionable. To be sure, China faces hurdles too. Its coal-based industrial system is enormous, and the US, worried about losing technological superiority, is trying to slow China’s development. Even so, China is currently urbanising innovation on a historically unprecedented scale, building eco-cities, hydrogen cities, forest cities, and sponge cities (designed to cope with flooding). This has the potential to move cities into a new relationship with their surrounding ecosystems. China–given the size of its economy and the central government’s ability to dictate thoroughgoing policy change–is, despite all of its flaws, presently our best hope for implementing the sort of policy overhaul that can begin to slow climate change.

 View Professor Peter Drahos’ profile and research interests.

“ Drawing on more than 250 interviews, carried out in 17 countries including the world’s four largest carbon emitters—Drahos shows what China is doing to make its vast urban network sustainable and why all states must work toward a “biodigital energy paradigm” based on a globalized, city-based network of innovation.” H. W. Micklitz, Journal of Consumer Policy

“ Peter Drahos’s extremely valuable book highlights two issues that are critical for the future of humanity in the face of climate change: the inescapable role of states in leading capitalism towards radical carbon emissions, and the ability of China to play the most important part in this effort.” Anatol Lieven, Professor of Government, Georgetown University, and author of Climate Change and the Nation State: The Role of Nationalism in a Warming World (Oxford)

REGNET

“ Which political organization is most likely to deal with the potentially disastrous effects of climate change? Peter Drahos argues it is the Chinese Communist Party. This book will be intensively controversial, but if Drahos is right, his book may well be regarded as one of the most important social science works of our time, perhaps even a game changer.” Daniel A. Bell, Professor of Political Science and Public Administration, Shandong University, and author of The China Model: Political Meritocracy and the Limits of Democracy

NEW POSTDOCTORAL FELLOWS

Dr Emma Nyhan Dr Emma Nyhan is an interdisciplinary scholar of law and society, whose work bridges international law, legal and social anthropology, and post-colonial studies. Before joining RegNet in September 2021, Emma was a research fellow on the Australian Research Council-funded project ‘The Potential and Limits of International Adjudication: Australia and the International Court of Justice’, led by Professor Hilary Charlesworth (now judge of the International Court of Justice) and Professor Margaret Young at Melbourne Law School. Her research spans two substantive fields. The first concerns the practice of global human rights law, focussing on how global human rights law regulates the identity of the Bedouin in Israel. Her second field concerns the operations of international dispute settlement, focusing on how states engage with international courts and tribunals. Emma’s research has been published in leading journals of law and society, international law,

global human rights law and transnational law. In December 2021, Emma’s article ‘Translating Global Indigeneity into the Bedouin Vernacular’ was published in Transnational Legal Theory. In the same month, her article ‘A Latent Encounter with the International Court of Justice: How Australia and Japan Settled a Pearl Fisheries Dispute’ was published in Melbourne Journal of International Law. Since arriving at RegNet, Emma has been working on her book, Desert-Dwellers of International Law: How the Bedouin in Israel Became Indigenous in International Law, in progress to be published in Cambridge University Press. This socio-legal study reconstructs how the global category of indigeneity came to be applied to the Bedouin in Israel.

Dr Depi Susilawati Dr Depi Susilawati is a Postdoctoral Fellow at the ANU School of Regulation and Global Governance (RegNet). Her research focuses broadly on forest and environmental policy and governance in South-East Asia, particularly Indonesia. Her study aims to improve sustainability and legality governance in the forestry sector and other land-use sectors such as palm oil by designing smarter regulations and improving actors’ compliance along the value chains. Before joining RegNet, Depi was a PhD Scholar at Fenner School of Environment and Society at the Australian National University. Her PhD thesis investigates the architecture, implementation, and actors’ compliance with mandatory and voluntary instruments in Indonesian wood value chains. Depi’s PhD research has been published in the Forest Policy and Economics, Journal of Cleaner Production, and International Forestry Review. In addition, she has teaching experience at

“I just want to draw your attention to a new paper prepared for us by Professor Veronica Taylor from the ANU School of Regulation and Global Governance, ‘How should we modernise document execution in Australia?’ The paper provides a framework for considering reforms to statutory declarations and deeds, as well as surveying current national and international practice. Reform would not only reduce compliance costs by around $500m a year, but potentially set a precedent for the wider shift away from ‘paper, parchment and velum’. We have been honoured to have Professor Taylor as part of the team for the past six months.”

Dr Virginia Marshall, an important voice for Indigenous Australians in COP26 RegNet and Fenner School’s Inaugural Indigenous Postdoctoral Fellow Virginia Marshall attended UNFCCC COP26 in Glasgow Scotland as a UN delegate for the Pacific and Knowledge Holder, nominated by the Indigenous Peoples’ Organisation–Australia. She participated in the UN Local Communities and Indigenous Peoples’ Platform and an invited presenter at COP events such as Earth Observation Day. Dr Virginia Marshall was involved in various COP26 talks where she emphasised the importance of a stronger representation of Indigenous Australians voices at the UN Talks to ensure that the world’s oldest living Indigenous Peoples are heard, particularly in relation to climate change policy and law reform, traditional knowledge protection, water and human rights. In Episode 3 of COP26 We Got This, Dr Marshall joined hosts Associate Professor Megan Bowman (RegNet alumna and King’s College London) and Dr Will J Grant (Australian National University) to talk about the role of non-state actors, Indigenous Australian knowledge and effective adaptation strategies in tackling climate change.

Dr Marshall was also a panellist on the ‘Transforming Australia: From laggard to leader’ event. She spoke about water security, Indigenous science and knowledge and the need for a change in Australia’s law and policy, amongst other climate issues. As a panellist in the COP26 Resilience Lab, Dr Marshall discussed with other panellists the concepts and remedies from their Indigenous communities and the need to holistically incorporate different systems, such as science and traditional knowledge. Dr Marshall described Indigenous Australian’s relationship with the Aboriginal environment and Indigenous Peoples desire to protect their traditional remedies from being appropriated and exploited. Panellists mentioned the need to: decommodify water and safeguard it as a basic right; include Indigenous Peoples and traditional knowledge within academia (such as the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change [IPPC]); and ensure that research is Indigenous-led on Indigenous issues among on Indigenous communities.

Survivor initiated-restorative justice as a pathway to justice for sexual assault in the Australian Capital Territory In August, the RegNet’s Centre for Restorative Justice co-convened the symposium, Survivor Initiated-Restorative Justice as a Pathway to Justice for Sexual Assault with the ANU Centre for Social Research and Methods. The aim of the symposium was to highlight the role that restorative justice can play in addressing the needs of survivors of sexual assault in the ACT. Restorative justice is an approach to harm that focuses on healing. It involves dialogue (face to face, via written communication, via intermediaries or tele or video conference) between those who have caused harm and those who experienced harm, focusing on who has been impacted and how, and what can be done to heal and move forward. In the context of sexual assault, a restorative approach may enable a survivor to have questions about their assault answered, and to address ongoing fears and concerns, such as how to navigate potential future interactions with the person who caused harm. As MLA Dr Marisa Paterson, who opened the symposium reflected, sexual violence in Australia is endemic and broad scale cultural change is urgently required. Since 2018, the ACT Restorative Justice Unit has accepted referrals for cases of sexual assault and family violence. At the symposium, we heard from a survivor who spoke about her positive experience taking part in a restorative

ANU COLLEGE OF ASIA AND THE PACIFIC

justice conference facilitated by the unit. She highlighted the way in which the response was personalised and responsive to her particular needs as well as being empowering and flexible. After her restorative justice conference, she reflected,

“ I could leave that room feeling like I had said everything I needed to say.” She also noted, “I was given options at every point, it was all catered to me, and when the options didn’t fit, a personal option was made.” The symposium also heard from speakers about a range of community-based restorative justice initiatives that work to address the needs of survivors of sexual assault and are available separately from the criminal justice system. As a result of this engagement, symposium convenor, Professor Miranda Forsyth, and coconvenor, Professor Meredith Rossner (Centre for Social Research and Methods, ANU) were invited to write an editorial on the topic for the International Journal of Restorative justice.

RegNet Research Director’s research featured at key proceedings In recent ‘proof of concept’ publications, Professor Susan Sell traced the effects of macroeconomic structural change to social outcomes focused on health.

CONVERSATIONS 2021: CONNECTION AND DISCONNECTION Webinar 1 Relationality in a complex world

Webinar 2 The regulatory state across terrains of governance RegNet is a hub where we collaborate between disciplines to understand how governance and regulation are shaped by connections and disconnections across systems and actors. COVID-19 has redefined the meaning of connection and disconnection; the global pandemic has disconnected us in ways we could not imagine but despite that, we keep finding new ways to connect. Conversations 2021 hosted a series of panels aiming to illuminate how connections and disconnections shape outcomes across domains including justice, welfare, and trade. In three separate panel events, leading experts from across the social sciences considered questions around the role relationships play in regulation and governance, how current understandings of the regulatory welfare state would benefit from stronger interdisciplinary connections, and how strategic competition is reshaping the prospects for global governance.

Webinar 3 Global connections and disconnections: markets, state, earth

This panel interrogated the role of relationality across a range of domains and theoretical jumping-off points. From restorative justice to peacebuilding to development to glyphosate regulation, RegNet scholars have sought to understand the role relationships and relationality play in the creation of meaning, identity and behaviour. Through an animated conversation, the panel developed emergent and existing theories to better analyse connection and disconnection in today’s complex world.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, many states have enacted large-scale welfare programs that have also expanded their regulatory reach. While the ‘regulatory welfare state’ literature helps to make sense of these transformations, it has yet to address key concerns, such as diminished accountability and transparency in social policymaking, experiences of welfare conditionality, growing reliance on digital surveillance, interlocking inequalities, and the securitisation of mobility. This panel attended to domains of the regulatory state often understood as disconnected: welfare, development, and migration. It shed light on how current understandings of the regulatory welfare state would benefit from building stronger connections with other interdisciplinary fields.

Growing strategic competition between some of the most powerful states in the world will have significant impacts on the relationships between actors across multiple policy domains. The effect could be to recast how we govern the globe. Some states will remain connected sharing technology, data and finance, others will not. Firms may find new state controls imposed on them, restricting their operations in some domains, and enabling them in others. The panel explored these entanglements and their corollary across actors and institutions in the domains of climate, energy, trade and intellectual property.
