Building an intellectual property system: The Indonesian experience. This project aims to provide an independent assessment of the development of the Indonesian intellectual property system over the past 30 years. Economic theory suggests pathways to innovation and ‘tipping points’ in intellectual property (IP) development.

This project aims to provide an independent assessment of the development of the Indonesian intellectual property system over the past 30 years. Economic theory suggests pathways to innovation and ‘tipping points’ in intellectual property (IP) development. This project plans to explore the introduction and operation of IP in Indonesia as a typical example for middle-income developing countries. It plans to analyse hundreds of court decisions that have recently become available, as well as the implementing laws and institutions supporting IP. It aims to show the bargaining processes about the future of the system between the government and foreign investors as well as citizens and between different institutions, thereby providing valuable information to Australian businesses and the government.Read moreRead less
Law And Policy Framework For Remote Sensing In Maritime Enforcement. This project aims to address a gap in national and international law relating to the use of modern technology in fisheries enforcement. It will advance the fight against illegal fishing by developing model legal frameworks to underpin the use of remotely sourced data in fisheries surveillance and enforcement. Expected outcomes include enabling Pacific Island Countries to rely on remotely sourced data to combat illegal fishing, ....Law And Policy Framework For Remote Sensing In Maritime Enforcement. This project aims to address a gap in national and international law relating to the use of modern technology in fisheries enforcement. It will advance the fight against illegal fishing by developing model legal frameworks to underpin the use of remotely sourced data in fisheries surveillance and enforcement. Expected outcomes include enabling Pacific Island Countries to rely on remotely sourced data to combat illegal fishing, conduct enforcement operations and prosecute fisheries offences. This should provide significant benefits, such as reducing the cost of fisheries enforcement, increasing the tools available to combat illegal fishing, and enhancing the capacity of Pacific Island Countries to protect their fisheries and maritime zones.Read moreRead less
Data science in humanitarianism: novel law and policy challenges. This project aims to study how agencies such as the United Nations make use of data science to support decision-making and resource allocation in humanitarian and development work and confront law and policy challenges emergent in this context. Its bridging of socio-legal inquiry and developments in information and communications technology will produce new international law and policy knowledge. Expected outcomes include better i ....Data science in humanitarianism: novel law and policy challenges. This project aims to study how agencies such as the United Nations make use of data science to support decision-making and resource allocation in humanitarian and development work and confront law and policy challenges emergent in this context. Its bridging of socio-legal inquiry and developments in information and communications technology will produce new international law and policy knowledge. Expected outcomes include better insight into the limits of automated decision-support techniques and their perceived legitimacy in different settings, and resulting reform recommendations, as well as building technology-related skills that are important for Australia's changing economy. Aid donors and recipients worldwide will benefit from changes in law and policy designed to ensure the legitimacy of decisions in humanitarian and development work.Read moreRead less
Diplomatic Knowledge, Disasters and the Future of International Legal Order. Gaps and divergences in diplomatic understanding of global social, economic, and environmental conditions make coordinated international action difficult, especially in response to natural disasters. This project aims to shed light on how diplomatic and consular personnel come to know what they know about global conditions, how the information infrastructure with which diplomats work may inform (or impede) coordinated i ....Diplomatic Knowledge, Disasters and the Future of International Legal Order. Gaps and divergences in diplomatic understanding of global social, economic, and environmental conditions make coordinated international action difficult, especially in response to natural disasters. This project aims to shed light on how diplomatic and consular personnel come to know what they know about global conditions, how the information infrastructure with which diplomats work may inform (or impede) coordinated international legal action, and what could be done to make that information infrastructure more robust and less prone to blindspots. Expected outcomes include practical suggestions for diplomats, helping to strengthen Australia’s capabilities in diplomacy, especially capacity to lead coordinated response to natural disasters.Read moreRead less

Universal Legal Identity and the Sustainable Development Goals. This project is the first comprehensive study into the risks of exclusion associated with the pursuit of the universal legal identity target enshrined in the Sustainable Development Goals.

This project is the first comprehensive study into the risks of exclusion associated with the pursuit of the universal legal identity target enshrined in the Sustainable Development Goals. Through a systematic examination of legal identification initiatives at international and country levels, in Indonesia, Thailand and Cambodia, the project will generate new knowledge on how exclusion in legal identity regimes is produced and who it affects. Outcomes include improved understanding of these risks and practical guidance to address them. Expected benefits include more inclusive state and non-state approaches to legal identity, as well as enhanced protections and development opportunities for marginalised populations in different contexts.Read moreRead less
Drugs, books and seeds: The politics of access to intellectual property. The project aims to compare three transnational campaigns to increase access to drugs (patents and data protection), books (copyright) and seeds (plant variety protection and patents). It expects to generate new knowledge in intellectual property regulation and global governance through an interdisciplinary approach combining concepts from political science, law, and sociology. Expected outcomes include the identification o ....Drugs, books and seeds: The politics of access to intellectual property. The project aims to compare three transnational campaigns to increase access to drugs (patents and data protection), books (copyright) and seeds (plant variety protection and patents). It expects to generate new knowledge in intellectual property regulation and global governance through an interdisciplinary approach combining concepts from political science, law, and sociology. Expected outcomes include the identification of strategies and policies that assist with striking an equitable balance between intellectual property and rights of access, with potential benefits benefits for health, education and nutrition.Read moreRead less
