Fourth-year honours graduates from the University of Sydney's Department of Government and International Relations last night stepped into the hothouse of political debate, if only for one night, when they presented their honours theses at NSW Parliament House to an audience of researchers, academics, students and members of the business community. Supported by The Sydney Morning Herald and the external advisory committee of the Department of Government and International Relations, the event is now in its second year. It aims to demonstrate the broad range of research being undertaken in the department. The panellists and their thesis topics were: - Kate Epstein - Risk and the Airport: A Political Geography of Sydney International Terminal This thesis takes as its starting point the tension that exists between the different roles of the airport, especially with rising concern about terrorism. Using the case study of Sydney International Airport it looks at the airport from the perspective of three distinct but overlapping stakeholders: the airport owner operator, the airline carriers, and the state. Epstein commented on the increasing difficulties airlines face at Sydney airport, as they are squeezed between the needs of the owner operator and the state authority. Brigit Verey - Battle of the Book: Public Policy and Parallel Importation in Australia In 2008 the Australian Government reopened a divisive policy debate concerning restrictions on the importation of foreign editions of books into Australia.
