Chapters in Books


Below is a fairly comprehensive list of chapters I have published in various edited collections over the course of my career. A few have been co-authored and I have provided a some links to google books and the odd final draft .pdf. In some cases my work can be accessed via SSRN, academia.edu, google scholar and on my pages at ANU.
