“…Yet, as have argued, parliament is now a 'theatre of action', where its role has become more diffuse and is, arguably, far broader than originally conceptualised by Bagehot (1963), Dicey (1982) or Jennings (1966). Further, recent work on policy agendas (Dowding and Martin 2017) demonstrates that there remains a close link between what executives say they want to do, and what they attempt to legislate in parliament for policy domains such as economics, defence, immigration and workplace relations. They also found differences between the executives' policy focus compared with the opposition and the media.…”

This festschrift celebrates the extensive contribution John Wanna has made to the research and practice of politics, policy and public administration.John has had a close association with the Australia and New Zealand School of Government (ANZSOG) since its creation in 2003. In 2004, he was appointed the inaugural Sir John Bunting Professor of Public Administration at The Australian National University (ANU) and ANZSOG's director of research. In this role he has ensured ANZSOG continues to bridge research and practice, guiding our conferences and workshops to address contemporary issues and challenges, drawing on known theoretical frameworks and academic research, while also promoting new research and organising publication of a broad range of material from both academics and practitioners, offering lessons from past and current public administration and policy issues for the future. After 15 years in this role, the ANZSOG series, which John edited for ANU Press, has produced over 50 books that have been downloaded well over 2 million times globally.John's contribution goes well beyond his work for ANZSOG. He edited the Australian Journal of Public Administration (AJPA) for nearly 20 years, ensuring the journal was relevant to practitioners while also meeting exacting academic standards. I first met John in Queensland in the early 90s. He played a central role in Griffith University's impressive team of public administration scholars in the 1990s and 2000s under Pat Weller's leadership. And he has built a well-deserved international reputation comparing Australian practice and developments to those in a wide range of other countries.

“…One helpful way to think about what we have coded is in terms of agendas developed within formal institutions (governor-general speeches, legislation, and opposition questions) and those that are constituted outside these institutions (media and public opinion) (see Dowding and Martin, 2017).…”

“…Almost four thousand front-page stories in the Australian newspaper (the only truly national popular newspaper) were coded from 1996 (when electronic copies of the front page first became available) and these are analyzed in Dowding and Martin (2017). In addition, the Sydney Morning Herald (SMH) dataset contains information on each article published on the newspaper's front page for each day in the years 1990, 1995, 2000, 2005, 2010, and 2015. Work is underway to create a complete dataset for every year between 1950 and 2016.…”

The Comparative Agendas Project (CAP) brings together data on government activities in over twenty countries, and provides a consistent categorizing system to understand when a given institution of government in a particular country took action on any issue of public policy. All topics are covered, comprehensively, over several decades, in some countries going back to World War II. Because of the open-data philosophy that animates the international network of scholars involved in the project and their meticulous attention to comparability and common data coding conventions, the databases of the CAP represent an unprecedented resource for the study of public policy across national borders. In this major new book, leaders of each national team provide the background and information needed for anyone to understand how best to make use of these newly available historical databases. Interested users will range from novice students of public policy to accomplished scholars, from interested citizens to professional journalists, political or partisan activists, and professional staff of legislative assemblies or national administrative agencies. The book’s sections include chapters introducing the CAP to a new audience, describing each national project, illustrating various cross-national uses and analyses that the CAP data allow, and concluding with ideas for further practical and research uses.
