The Australian State in the 21st Century - Greg Smith
In the first event of a new Manning Clark House series – “Australia in the 21st Century” – Greg Smith will speak to his paper “The Australian State in the 21st Century”, in which he discusses the role of the Australian state as the most powerful institution within both the political and economic orders in Australia, and concludes that it is not “match fit” to meet the likely challenges of the 21st century while sustaining a viable and healthy liberal democracy.
Greg will present the case for strengthening the will and capacity of the Australian state, both in its capacity to exert countervailing force and in its support for liberal democratic institutions and values.
