“…It is noteworthy that “rhetoric is in and of itself an institutional power that leaders can use to influence policy outcomes… [to] frame and reframe policy debates in ways that can actually change the content of those debates” (Grube and van Acker, 2017, 195). Despite its recent Damascene conversion on anti-discrimination protections, ACR discourse continues to undermine human rights protections for normative minorities, including religious and LGBTQ+ communities.…”

“…We note “normative reflection must begin from historically specific circumstances because there is nothing but what is, the given, the situated interest in justice, from which to start” (Young, 1990, 5). Thus, we sought to find historical (e.g., Maddox, 2005; Furse-Roberts, 2010; Piggin and Lindner, 2020; Jones, 2021), contextual (Hilliard, 1995; Melleuish, 2002; Bouma, 2011, 2012; Maddox, 2014, 2015; Grube and van Acker, 2017; Brennan, 2019; Wilson and Djupe, 2020), socio-political (Young, 1990; Thornton and Luker, 2010; Nelson et al ., 2012; Lewis, 2017; Ngo, 2017; Richardson-Self, 2018; Lopes, 2019; Ezzy et al ., 2021 a , 2021 b ), legal (Sharp, 2011; Ball, 2013; Evans and Read, 2020), and comparative (Gin, 2012; Kettell, 2017; Malloy, 2017; Brown, 2019) scholarship to situate the contemporary claim to injustice. Second, we sought to understand the explicit and tacit meanings of ACR actors' statements.…”

Political debates over religious freedom in Australia became prominent in the context of marriage equality, achieved in 2017. The Australian Christian Right (ACR) has driven these debates, but there is little research focusing on its discourse of religious freedom. This article examines a range of texts from ACR actors. Using discourse and theoretical analyses, we identify three key turns in the religious freedom rhetoric of the ACR: “ontological security,” “existential stress,” and “meaning vertigo.” We also explore how mimetic ACR discourse is compared to the United States' Christian Right (USCR). As with the USCR, this research demonstrates how the ACR—suffering meaning vertigo and aiming to re-secure its previously taken-for-granted worldview—has successfully reframed the discourse of religious freedom by positioning itself as a besieged minority.

“…In response, discursive institutionalism focuses explicitly on how policy settlements emerge from new ideational and discursive formations (cf. Ross, 2013;Carstensen and Schmidt, 2016;Koning, 2016;Widmaier, 2016;Grube and van Acker, 2017;Leipold and Winkel ,2017).…”

Variations in the character, performance and impact of policies and practices to capture land value for the community are usually examined by analysing experience in different countries. Such international comparative research is cross-sectional and does not cover the evolving relations between systems of land value capture and the economies, polities and societies within which they are set. The paper examines the relations in England between the extant political economy and supporting ideologies, and the distinctive forms of land value capture that they produced. It traces the shift from a top-down, strategic approach in an era of corporatist government before 1979 to the subsequent extension and consolidation of bottom-up practice set within the context of neoliberalism. The analysis highlights the evolution of the idea of land value capture and the policies and practices associated with it, especially the contestation that informed such changes.
