    Reducing Tensions in Australian Intergovernmental Relations through Institutional Innovation
    in Australian Journal of Public Administration , volume 72 n.3 ,  2013 ,  382-89
    Australia remains under-institutionalised in structures to manage intergovernmental relations. Negotiation and agreement remain dependent on the ad hoc summitry of COAG with deliberations dominated by the ‘soft’ factors of partisanship, personality and the political cycle. This articles outlines the ‘soft’ factors which dominate intergovernmental relations and argues institutional innovation is needed to formalise the management of multi-level governance in Australia
