Clinically, it resembles depression, but its aetiology is tied explicitly to political events and structural disenfranchisement. It manifests as hopelessness, a loss of faith in personal agency, and a pervasive sense that hard work and creativity no longer matter.... Read now Fragile Prosperity Fragile Prosperity presents a new perspective on the past five decades of economic policy in Australia. This book shows that in important respects the basic pillars of this policy are misconceived, resting on fundamental misunderstandings of money, taxation and fiscal accounting. ... Read now Experiencing Indonesia This book examines the many and varied dimensions of the Australian Consortium for ‘In-Country’ Indonesian Studies (ACICIS) and celebrates its 30th anniversary. Charting the institutional history of ACICIS alongside the development, innovation and impact of its programs, this volume captures personal insights from ACICIS alumni as well as staff members and partners from Australia and Indonesia. Contributors bring diverse perspectives and... Read now International Review of Environmental History: Volume 12, Issue 1, 2026 This issue of the International Review of Environmental History is planted firmly in Asia and the Pacific, tracing the rise and politics of local environmental knowledge and place-making from the seventeenth century. Shifting cultures of disaster management along the Yangtze River and the sponsorship of post-colonial botany in Indonesia meet conservation tourism and arboreal remembrance in twentieth-century Aotearoa. Threaded through the... Read now Terra in Our Mist Terra in Our Mist examines the persistence of state violence against Ngāi Tūhoe – the illustrious People of the Mist – whose ancestral homeland of Te Urewera stands as one of Aotearoa New Zealand’s most storied and contested landscapes. It focuses on a pattern of police violence: the 2007 anti-terror raids, codenamed Operation Eight, which centred on Ruatoki – one of the principal valleys of Te Urewera – and subsequent operations in 2012, 2014... Read now Indigenous Songs of Victoria Indigenous Songs of Victoria seeks to do justice to the songsters, the clever men and women of traditional Indigenous societies who made these artistic treasures, as well as to the many people who have valued, written down or otherwise recorded these songs, so that they can be heard, read and delighted in today. ... Read now Aboriginal History Journal: Volume 49 In this volume, Nicholas Pitt and Heidi Norman trace Wiradjuri, Gomeroi and Wailwan histories of smallpox in the 1830s, emphasising Aboriginal understandings, responses to and treatments for the disease they called either Boulol or Thunna Thunna. This work reveals the networks of knowledge and experience that secured the survival of people in Country. Gary Foley, Clare Land and Shannon Woodcock then document a Community Organisation Course... Read now Growing Restorative Regulation Regulation that prioritises punishment over learning often fails to repair harm or build lasting compliance. It can alienate communities, deepen mistrust and do little to prevent future breaches. ... Read now East Asia Forum Quarterly: Volume 18, Number 2, 2026 There is renewed focus on cooperation among middle powers following Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney’s address at the March 2026 World Economic Forum in Davos. But the shift towards more active middle power diplomacy predates Carney’s remarks. This issue of the East Asia Forum Quarterly brings together analyses of how key middle powers across the Asia Pacific are seeking to work in concert—despite the significant constraints to strengthen... Read now Uneven Rewards Uneven Rewards brings together major studies of workplace relations and behaviour from the distinguished labour economist Alison L Booth. Over more than three decades, Booth has forged a distinctive intellectual path combining a strong interest in the role of gender and culture on labour markets with acute expertise in data collection, and cognate social science fields and methods. ... Read now Believing on Upside Down Country The city of Bendigo and surrounds, in central Victoria, Australia, is described today by its Traditional Owners, the Djaara people, as ‘upside down country’, because since 1851 the sacred earth has been rotated and removed by mining, changing its spiritual ‘faith-scape’. Since the arrival of settlers and sojourners of European and Chinese descent, relations between peoples in this region have been powerfully shaped not only by the quest for... Read now Australian Journal of Biography and History: No. 11, 2026 This special issue of the Australian Journal of Biography and History explores what it means to write lives connected to Lutruwita/Tasmania, an island shaped by both isolation and connection. For most of its more than 40 thousand years of human history, Tasmania was a peninsula. Later, it became a node in global networks of Indigenous voyaging, colonial expansion, commerce and incarceration. Writing Tasmanian lives, therefore, requires us to...
