This project applies a widely respected approach to analysing governance systems to global problems of carbon emissions and sustainable development generally. Its significance lies in the centrality of the problems addressed and the adaptation of the widely praised NISA (National Integrity Systems Assessments) approach from domestic to international spheres. It aims to: adapt NISA to apply to a global sectoral problem of major significance; map and assess the Global Carbon Integrity system; identify gaps, weaknesses and areas on non-collaboration; provide suggestions for improvement; provide a fresh and useful perspective on global problems applicable to other issues.

This project seeks to address the fundamental problem of how to reconceive engagement by states with the international legal order, in the face of a sustained populist backlash. It proposes to develop a new analytical framework to evaluate the origins and impact of populist concerns about international law. Expected outcomes include detailed empirical studies of the extent to which countries with populist leaders have disengaged from the international legal order, and evidence-based recommendations to increase committed engagement by states with that order. Anticipated benefits include expanding national research and policy capacity in reinforcing the rules and institutions that support Australia’s security and prosperity.Read moreRead less

Expected outcomes include empirical studies evaluating how, why and to what extent Australians managed to shape international law during these periods. These outcomes should provide benefits in the form of evidence-based proposals to enhance Australia's capacity to influence the development of international law in times of global transformation.
