CDI Policy Paper Series on Political Governance

CDI's Policy Paper Series focusses on pressing issues of political governance in the Asia-Pacific. The series publishes original papers specially commissioned by CDI which investigate important challenges for political governance in the Asia-Pacific.

The papers are aimed specifically at policymakers, and seek to forge research-to-policy links and provide new insights on subjects of particular concern to CDI. Policy Papers are published both in hard-copy and electronically on this web page, and usually launched at a special seminar with a presentation by the author.

	Crawford School of Economics and Government	The Centre for Democratic Institutions (CDI) is a government-funded body that supports the efforts of new democracies in the Asia-Pacific region to strengthen their political systems. It provides training, technical assistance and peer support for parliamentarians and emerging leaders in Southeast Asia and the South Pacific, with a particular focus on Indonesia, Timor-Leste, Papua New Guinea, Solomon Islands, Vanuatu and Fiji. The Australian Government established CDI in 1998. It is funded primarily by the Australian Agency for International Development (AusAID). One of the primary ways in which CDI works to promote democracy is through strengthening parliamentary governance and political parties. The Centre focusses on parliamentary and political party development, and conducts flagship training courses and policy-relevant research on these subjects.
