On Thursday 5 February ACELG and our fellow UTS organisation, the Australia China Relations Institute (ACRI) headed by Professor Bob Carr, will host a visit by Professor Chen Kang from National University of Singapore (NUS).

Senior Lecturer Bligh Grant reviews ACELG's recent international engagement with the Chinese public administration sector.

Bligh Grant and Roberta Ryan look at the implications of the new NSW local government reforms beyond the conspicuous cash incentives.

This month members of the ACELG team attended the 5th International Conference on Local Government (ICLG) held in Palembang, the capital city of the Province of South Sumatra, Indonesia. The conference was attended by approximately 150 academics, practitioners and students of local government from across the globe.
