CDI Links with Oxford University

CDI Director Ben Reilly undertook a visiting fellowship at Nuffield College, Oxford during the 2007 Michelmas Term.

Dr Reilly was in residence at Nuffield in October to work on his ARC-sponsored research project on democratization and political reform in the Asia-Pacific region. While there, he also completed editing of the forthcoming CDI-IDEA-UNU publication on 'Political Parties in Conflict-Prone Societies: Regulation, Engineering and Democratic Development', which will be published by the United Nations University Press in 2008.

Dr Reilly's fellowship was sponsored by Prof Laurence Whitehead, series editor of the Oxford University Press 'Oxford Studies in Democratization' series in which Dr Reilly's recent book, Democracy and Diversity, was published.

	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.
