Download or read book The Australian Idea of a University written by Glyn Davis and published by Melbourne Univ. Publishing. This book was released on 2017-11-10 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Universities, like other industries, are challenged by disruptive market forces. Today there are nearly forty public universities in Australia. Some predict that by 2070 there may be only ten institutions left globally to deliver higher education. Relentless inventiveness and entrepreneurial agendas promise students a world of unbounded study options. In this powerful meditation on the need for institutional diversity, Glyn Davis argues that experimentation, innovation and resilience are the only way the public university will endure.

Book Synopsis Why Australia Prospered by : Ian W. McLean
Download or read book Why Australia Prospered written by Ian W. McLean and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2016-05-24 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the first comprehensive account of how Australia attained the world's highest living standards within a few decades of European settlement, and how the nation has sustained an enviable level of income to the present. Why Australia Prospered is a fascinating historical examination of how Australia cultivated and sustained economic growth and success. Beginning with the Aboriginal economy at the end of the eighteenth century, Ian McLean argues that Australia's remarkable prosperity across nearly two centuries was reached and maintained by several shifting factors. These included imperial policies, favorable demographic characteristics, natural resource abundance, institutional adaptability and innovation, and growth-enhancing policy responses to major economic shocks, such as war, depression, and resource discoveries. Natural resource abundance in Australia played a prominent role in some periods and faded during others, but overall, and contrary to the conventional view of economists, it was a blessing rather than a curse. McLean shows that Australia's location was not a hindrance when the international economy was centered in the North Atlantic, and became a positive influence following Asia's modernization. Participation in the world trading system, when it flourished, brought significant benefits, and during the interwar period when it did not, Australia's protection of domestic manufacturing did not significantly stall growth. McLean also considers how the country's notorious origins as a convict settlement positively influenced early productivity levels, and how British imperial policies enhanced prosperity during the colonial period. He looks at Australia's recent resource-based prosperity in historical perspective, and reveals striking elements of continuity that have underpinned the evolution of the country's economy since the nineteenth century.

Book excerpt: Australia is currently experiencing a downturn in applications. A number of commentators in the media have suggested that one of the main reasons behind the current downturn in interest in studying in Australia is differences between Australia's student visa program and visa programs of Australia's main English speaking competitors, in particular differences around visa costs, processing times and financial requirements. As part of the Department's input to the Knight review of Australia's student visa program in 2011, Australian Education International conducted a survey of more than 1,800 respondents encompassing prospective students, in some cases their parents and a number of alumni who had previously studied in Australia. More than 500 major education agents involved in recruiting students for Australian and other countries also responded to the same survey questions. The survey sought to examine perceptions of studying in Australia, including aspects of education quality, cost of studying and living and the student visa application process. Respondents were asked to compare their perceptions of Australia with its major competitor countries, including the United States of America (US) and the United Kingdom (UK). The survey was conducted in collaboration with AEI education counsellors at post in China, India, Indonesia, Korea, Thailand and Vietnam with the survey made available in Chinese, English, Indonesian, Korean and Vietnamese languages as appropriate. The main findings of the survey were that quality of education, tuition and living costs were the most important factors influencing where potential students choose to study. For most groups of students and agents across the six countries, the cost of a student visa was among the least important factors influencing decision making. A majority of students in most countries thought that Australia's student visa costs, tuition costs, living expenses and demonstrated minimum level of funds needed to apply for a visa were the same or lower than comparable costs in Canada, New Zealand, the UK or the US. Education agents were more likely to perceive costs in Australia as being greater than relevant costs in competitor countries. Students ranked Australia as taking the shortest time to process student visas, and ranked the UK and the US as taking the longest. Students also ranked Australia as having the fastest application and processing times (looking at the time from applying to an education institution through to receiving a final response from the relevant immigration office), and ranked the UK and the US as having the slowest application and processing times. For education agents, the results varied by country, with some groups of agents ranking Australia as the fastest, while others ranked Australia as slowest (in terms of time taken to process a student visa) or second slowest (in terms of total time taken). The total time taken to apply for an enrolment and receive a visa to study in Australia was seen as a positive for more than half of Chinese and Indonesian education agents, and more than half of Chinese, Indian and Vietnamese students thought this made prospective students more likely to choose to study in Australia. Less than half of students or agents from any country thought that the total time taken to apply for an enrolment and receive a visa to study in Australia made students less likely to choose Australia as an education destination. Australia's visa process was seen as most likely to positively influence student choice, with more than half of education agents in China, India and Indonesia and more than half of students in China, India, Thailand and Vietnam thinking that Australia's clarity and transparency made students more likely to choose Australia. The results of the survey suggest that the cost of Australia's student visa may not have a major impact on students' choice of study destination. The survey also shows that when the total length of time taken from starting to apply to an education institution through to having a visa application approved is taken into account, Australia is considered by the sample surveyed to have one of the fastest systems in place. The three most important factors in deciding where to study are the quality of education, the cost of tuition and the cost of living. Australia is perceived to be a provider of quality education, but the current high value of the Australian dollar impacts on both the cost of tuition and the cost of living in Australia relative to competitor countries.

Book Synopsis The Cambridge Legal History of Australia by : Peter Cane
Download or read book The Cambridge Legal History of Australia written by Peter Cane and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2022-08-18 with total page 927 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Featuring contributions from leading lawyers, historians and social scientists, this path-breaking volume explores encounters of laws, people, and places in Australia since 1788. Its chapters address three major themes: the development of Australian settler law in the shadow of the British Empire; the interaction between settler law and First Nations people; and the possibility of meaningful encounter between First laws and settler legal regimes in Australia. Several chapters explore the limited space provided by Australian settler law for respectful encounters, particularly in light of the High Court's particular concerns about the fragility of Australian sovereignty. Tracing the development of a uniquely Australian law and the various contexts that shaped it, this volume is concerned with the complexity, plurality, and ambiguity of Australia's legal history.

Book excerpt: Searching for even more wild places and new experiences, Dan became determined to explore 'off the map' in Africa. From the mighty Sahara Desert in the north to the dense equatorial jungles of the Congo and the open grasslands of Southern Africa, Dan turned his biggest dream into reality. Over the course of three years Dan's second major expedition spanned fifty-four thousand miles through thirty-five unique African countries. THE ADVENTURE WAS A THOUSAND TIMES BIGGER THAN HE DREAMED POSSIBLE. After exploring the Pan-American Highway from Alaska to Argentina Dan became hooked on the freedom of global overland travel, and he only wanted more. New languages, exotic foods, stunning landscapes and local people with an entirely different outlook became Dan's everyday life. As the months turned into years, through highlights and despair Dan gained a new appreciation for what it truly means to be alive. Viewing our modern world through African eyes gave Dan a new perspective, and he was pulled in by the endless joy, laughter and kindness at every turn. While the landscapes and wildlife are undeniably breathtaking, it is the natural warmth of the African people that is truly unforgettable. All across the continent Dan was welcomed with love and generosity, and now he will never be the same.

Download or read book The Future of the United States-Australia Alliance written by Scott McDonald and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-12-15 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The United States-Australia alliance has been an important component of the US-led system of alliances that has underpinned regional security in the Indo-Pacific since 1945. However, recent geostrategic developments, in particular the rise of the People’s Republic of China, have posed significant challenges to this US-led regional order. In turn, the growing strategic competition between these two great powers has generated challenges to the longstanding US-Australia alliance. Both the US and Australia are confronting a changing strategic environment, and, as a result, the alliance needs to respond to the challenges that they face. The US needs to understand the challenges and risks to this vital relationship, which is growing in importance, and take steps to manage it. On its part, Australia must clearly identify its core common interests with the US and start exploring what more it needs to do to attain its stated policy preferences. This book consists of chapters exploring US and Australian perspectives of the Indo-Pacific, the evolution of Australia-US strategic and defence cooperation, and the future of the relationship. Written by a joint US-Australia team, the volume is aimed at academics, analysts, students, and the security and business communities.
