Announcements
The Environmental Politics and Policy (EPP) Group was launched at the 2011 APSA Conference at Old Parliament House in Canberra, hosted by the Australian National University, where the inaugural Pete Hay Environmental Politics Prize was announced.
In 2012 the APSA conference was hosted by the University of Tasmania in Hobart where the EPP Group sponsored a Special Panel: Sharing Power with Minority Governments: The Australian Greens.
The 2013 APSA conference 30 September – 2 October will be hosted by Murdoch University in Perth with the conference theme closely aligned with the EPP Group’s interests: The Politics Of Natural Resources: Contemporary Patterns Of Governance And Conflict.
Membership of the EPP Group is now open to all scholars and practitioners of environmental politics and policy (academics, postgrads, public servants, activists, etc.) and costs $25 per annum. It is a requirement in the APSA Standing Research Group rules that Group members are also a member of APSA. Interested parties can join the EPP Group and pay their dues at the same time as they pay their APSA dues on the APSA website here. The website has functionality whereby new members are automatically signed up until the end of their APSA membership. Subsequent membership remains aligned with APSA membership.
