The Australian National Party: Re-thinking rurality in a post-agrarian society
The National Party is undertaking an internal review of its role and its position in Australian society and politics; the implications of current political, financial, demographic, and media trends; and future options for the Party, including an analysis of current and alternative strategies, roles and Party structures.
Although the Nationals and their predecessors have been part of Australian politics for nearly a century, there is limited academic scholarship on the party, its role and its future and little recent work.
Under the RSSS theme of Comparative Public Policy and Government this Workshop will address that gap. The Workshop is the first step in the preparation of an interdisciplinary book on the Party and will take the form of presentations by the contributors to the book and invited expert discussants.
Other scholars with an interest in the National Party are invited to participate in the discussion - to ensure the effectiveness of the Workshop, numbers will be limited. Morning and afternoon tea/coffee will be provided along with a sandwich lunch.
Contributors include:
Tracey Arklay, Griffith University
Professor David Arter, University of Aberdeen

Dr Nicholas Brown, RSSS
Assoc Prof Ian Gray, Charles Sturt University
