Networking and Collaboration: The ANZSOG Approach
ANZSOG’s research program is a collaborative initiative of governments and universities that focuses on innovative, cutting-edge research into public administration, policy and management. The program was established to expand our understanding of government policy and public sector management issues and to ensure that this knowledge is disseminated to the broader community.
Our Aim
The ANZSOG research agenda aims to:
- Contribute to continuing reform of the public sector
- Support the development of best practice in government
- Inform debate on key public administration issues
- Maintain the quality of our education programs
- Deepen public understanding of government
Our Approach
ANZSOG’s distinct approach favours networked, collaborative research that delivers practical solutions and outcomes for government. A key aim of the research program is to encourage projects that involve ‘buy-in’ from both governments and academics. Using this framework, ANZSOG’s research combines theory with practice – and academic with practitioner.
Research teams are actively collaborating across Australian and New Zealand jurisdictions, as well as in the Asia-Pacific, the Americas and Europe. Several examples of this collaboration include:
- A New Synthesis of Public Administration
- Common Cause: Strengthening Australia’s Cooperative Federalism – Final Report to the Council for the Australian Federation (click for report)
