“…In a symposium in 2010, edited by Carol Johnson and Juanita Elias (Elias and Johnson 2010), the contributors set out to analyse how Australian politics responded to the changing political and social dynamics of the region. The distinctive approach taken in that special issue is to conceptualise the processes and institutions of national politics within a broader framework of transnational ideas and economic processes.…”

The fundamental research question we seek to answer is this: why has this resource boom, say in contrast with the Korean War and post Second World War booms, not produced long-term political and policy reforms to accommodate the distribution and uneven impact which are the inevitable consequences of the rise in commodity prices? In answering this question, the argument we advance is that the political and policy responses to the current boom must be located in the context of shifts in power and interests in the domestic political economy and in the broader regionalisation of the political economy that have entrenched new transnational and regional forms of capital. An important dimension of this state transformation is the transformation of subnational state institutions and the emergence of what we call the local regulatory state À and its reflection in the territorial politics between resource-rich Australian states and the Federal government. The recent boom in Australia has seen some subnational states engage in activities that have been, until recently, the preserve of the Federal government, namely a complex of diplomacy and international trade. These recent moves have gone well beyond the past symbolic state/federal tensions based on party politics and the creation of sister cities. The Australian case À a resource boom in a developed country with welldeveloped and capable institutions À provides us with an analytical framework to move beyond the resource curse arguments.

“…For instance, AJPS provided a home for Australian national election studies (see Bean 1994), among other current topics. The special issue on 'On Re-engaging Asia' (Elias and Johnson 2010), meanwhile, included two of the most widely read AJPS articles. McAllister used the increase from three to four issues per year in 2005 to promote special issues.…”
