Transitional Justice Systems in Uganda
REFNo: SS28ES
To map out international and local transitional justice (TJ) initiatives from the perspective of locally based Ugandans. More concretely the researcher aims to contribute to the field substantively and methodologically. Substantively this study’s objectives are to: (1) explain how sub-regional TJ systems are understood in contextual terms, (2) explain how mainstream TJ is perceived by local actors within their respective system, (3) explain why local actors believe the mainstream is compatible with contextual approaches, if at all, and (4) explain why contextual actors interpret their respective sub-regional TJ system as they do. To help accomplish the substantive aims listed above this study includes the following methodological objectives: (1) to map sub-regional systems; (2) to gather oral and visual descriptions from participants to generate “system stories†that explain system behaviours; (3) to ask participants why they describe sub-regional systems as they do; and, (4) to develop conceptual models using visual mapping software and written text. Using this methodology, this study could also make substantive contributions to: explain how contextual systems are described in “post-liberal†terms, document preferred forms of interconnectivity between various approaches, as well as, similarities and differences among participants’ views.

Insects in the Tropics-Test Research (UNCST Team)
REFNo: A8ES
Learning about insects means entering a world of numbers! This is the most abundant animal type on earth, boasting almost 90 percent of all living things. Scientific estimates put the total number of species of insects worldwide up around the 30 million mark. In Australia we have already described over 86,000 species divided into 661 families, but there are likely to be thousands more insects waiting to be found and classified. If the abundance of insects in the Wet Tropics compared to the rest of Australia is similar to that of other animal types, then there are probably around 40,000 insect species hiding in the forests here.

Battles over boundaries. Contested devolution in Kenya and Uganda
REFNo: SS20ES
This project analyses how the politics of contested devolution influences inclusion and exclusion at the sub-national political level in two divided societies, Kenya and Uganda. In societies characterised by deep-running political divisions, inequalities and exclusion, the issue of how to organise and distribute political power impacts hugely on stability. Devolution of power and resources to sub-national entities is often promoted as a remedy for problems of exclusion. However, changes in territorial demarcation and relocation of authority set off struggles over who should exercise what power, how and where. At the same time, fluid political identities frequently conflict with the scope of territorial and authority structures. The projects aims to 1) analyse how the contestation over devolved power in Kenya and Uganda influences political inclusion and exclusion and 2) contribute to theoretical development with regard to how the above is shaped by the interplay between formal and informal institutions and boundaries
