Isi Unikowski

My project explores the factors that influence the way officials at the Commonwealth and State/Territory levels of the federation carry out the functions of intergovernmental management.

I have been fortunate to have had the opportunity to interview a number of senior officials in Commonwealth and State/Territory central and line departments and agencies, and I thank them for their insights and contribution. My dissertation reporting on my findings and conclusions based on those interviews is now complete and awaiting examination.
