September 11 2021: 20th anniversary reflections on freedom, democracy and Australia’s place in the world.

Description

A commissioned article drawing on my research on democracy to add to public reflection on the 20th anniversary of the terror attack in the United States and its significance for Australia's place in the world.

This activity is complex because it involves the collection, explanation, interpretation, and presentation of diverse and contested theoretical ideas. It is complex because it translates theoretically difficult concepts into easily understandable terms for a non-specialist audience and applies them to questions of contemporary public policy. It is complex because it draws on ideas developed through my research published over several years. This means that time and effort cannot be quantified with precision but that it is, nevertheless, substantial. The diversity of end-users may be assumed from this being a national publication with international reach. Engagement plans and briefings occurred with the commissioning editor.
