Our mission is to inspire and equip governments, businesses, social partners and individuals to meet the challenges of contemporary governance. Through interdisciplinary, innovative teaching and research, we seek shared and sustainable solutions to these challenges. The School's activities centre around our thematic areas; governance and regulation; politics and democracy; and a small number of key policy domains. In these areas we aim to harness the University's diverse resources in our graduate and executive teaching to equip the current and next generation of leaders; facilitate research that meets the needs of governments, industry and social partners; and be the platform for exploration, debate and innovation nationally and in our region.
