Item Metadata only Australia: 'the lucky country' on a knife edge(ANU ePress, 2009) Laing, Matthew; Tindall, Karen; 't Hart; Paul; Tindall; KarenItem Embargo Celebrity Politics: The Politics of the Late Modernity?(Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2010) Marsh, David; 't Hart, Paul; Tindall, KarenThe academic literature on celebrity politics is rarely systematic; more often it is superficial and anecdotal. In addition, most of the literature focuses either upon classifying different types/categories of celebrity politicians and their roles in politics, or upon the question of whether the growth of celebrity politics undermines or enhances democracy. In this article we consider both of these issues more systematically and, in doing so, work towards a more coherent understanding of the mechanisms that influence modern governance and the operation of contemporary democracy.Item Embargo Coping with consular emergencies: four key governmental coordination relationships(Inderscience Publishers, 2010) Tindall, KarenWhen a large number of foreign nationals are affected by a disaster while abroad, their respective governments face public and media pressure to assist their citizens. For governments to evacuate citizens, locate missing, assist injured, support relatives or identify and repatriate the deceased, the foreign ministry must coordinate its personnel, establish a whole-of-government response and cooperate with foreign governments. To better understand how governments coordinate and cooperate internally and externally to assist citizens, this paper utilised a 'structured and focused' comparative approach. The 'structure' was provided by three (Australia, Sweden and the UK) foreign ministries' consular responses to three large-scale events: the 2002 Bali bombings, 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami and 2006 evacuations from Lebanon. For the focus, the study employed an organising perspective. Government actions were considered through the lens of four key coordination relationships, within and between governments, in order to establish what role government plays and to identify limits and opportunities present in the response.Item Embargo Crisis Leadership of the Bush Presidency: Advisory Capacity and Presidential Performance in the Acute Stages of the 9/11 and Katrina Crisis(Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2009) 't Hart, Paul; Tindall, Karen; Brown, ChristerItem Embargo Distance and Displacement in Consular Emergencies: Assisting National Citizens in Distress Abroad(Common Ground Publishing, 2010) Tindall, KarenItem Embargo Evaluating government performance during consular emergencies: Toward an analytical framework(University of Sydney, 2011) Tindall, Karen; Hart, PaulWhen consular emergencies happen - in which a considerable number of nationals are affected by a disaster while abroad - it is not clear what affected citizens and their relatives can and cannot expect from their government. Meanwhile, governments have to contend with issues of distance and the inability to exercise their authority on-the-ground. In such complex, multi-actor and often multi-national settings, one cannot measure governmental emergency management by the same yardsticks used to assess domestic emergency management performance. This article develops an evaluation framework that is tailored to large-scale consular emergencies. We operationalise six key response functions into indicators, which provide a more nuanced perspective on governments' performance in an emergency. The relevance of the framework is illustrated with reference to case study vignettes from British, Swedish and Australian responses to three major consular emergencies: the 2002 Bali bombings, 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, and 2006 evacuations from war-stricken Lebanon.Item Metadata only From 'market correction' to 'global catastrophe': framing the economic downturn(ANU ePress, 2009) 't Hart, Paul; Tindall, Karen; 't Hart; Paul; Tindall; KarenItem Embargo Governments' Ability to Assist Nationals in Disasters Abroad: What Do We Know about Consular Emergency Management?(Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2012) Tindall, KarenThis review draws attention to the need for consolidated inquiry into large-scale consular emergency management. Occurring outside national borders, these low-probability but high-impact events affect a large number of national citizens. They challenge governments' crisis management systems, and direct public and government attention to a sector that has been largely overlooked in public administration literature - consular affairs. This review brings together the relevant literature on consular assistance and looks further afield to find analysis of emergency responses in case studies of three major consular emergencies. Three underlying themes emerge, central to a more nuanced understanding of the government response to large-scale emergencies affecting citizens abroad.Item Metadata only Leadership by the Famous: Celebrity as Political Capital(Oxford University Press, 2009) 't Hart, Paul; Tindall, Karen; John Kane; Haig Patapan; Paul 't HartItem Metadata only The problem of behaviour change: from social norms to an ingroup focus(Wiley, 2015-01) Reynolds, Katherine J.; Subašić, Emina; Tindall, KarenSocial norms are of increasing interest to public policy experts and those conducting behaviour change interven-tions (e.g. safe driving, recycling). While there is agreement that social norms play a central role in explaining behaviour, such consensus is lacking when it comes to explaining the process through which this occurs. Economics, social marketing and political science focus on individual self-interest and goal satisfaction and social (dis)approval. In contrast social psychology also incorporates collective interests through its analysis of social identity and ingroup processes. To fully understand behaviour change, it is argued that greater engagement is needed with the links between shifts in social identity, and ingroup norms. As definitions of who “we” are shift, so too does what “we” do. Implications for behaviour change interventions are discussed.Item Metadata only Public leadership and the social construction of economic catastrophe(ANU ePress, 2009) 't Hart, Paul; Tindall, Karen; 't Hart; Paul; Tindall; KarenItem Embargo The problem of behaviour change: From social norms to an ingroup focus(John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2015) Reynolds, Katherine J; Subasic, Emina; Tindall, KarenSocial norms are of increasing interest to public policy experts and those conducting behaviour change interventions (e.g. safe driving, recycling).
