The paper�s main focus is on the children of immigrants born in authoritarian regimes. While previous research has shown that pre-migration socialization in authoritarian regimes influence immigrants� democratic transition, less is known whether authoritarian values are passed onto children born and educated in established democracies. Given that findings show that immigrants from authoritarian regimes lag behind the rest of the population in terms of support for democracy, this paper seeks to find out whether the influence of education in an established democracy and perceptions of government performance may take precedence over the political values learnt at home as determinants of democratic support. Using the Australian Election Study, these findings highlight the extent of adult migration experiences and evaluations of government performance on democratic support.Item Metadata only Leadership Change, Policy Issues and Voting in the 2010 Australian Federal Election(Conference Organising Committee, 2011) Pietsch, Juliet; Bean, Clive; McAllister, IanItem Metadata only Privatizing policing on a global scale?

This paper explores how the Chinese goernment has approached the development and diffusion of such technologies within China since 2005, focusing on the role of "techno-nationalism" in Chinese policy making in particular. It begins by reviewing the literature on techno-nationalism and developing a typology that differentiates between more or less techno-nationalist views. It then examines the Chinese policy discourse with respect to renewable energy technoliges to identify the extent to which the elements of techno-nationalism are present. Lastly, it evaluates the congruence between Chinese techno-nationalism and Chinese policy in the renewable energy sphere.
