The business of politics and gender
Coming from a philosophical background, Professor Jim Jose is a political scientist with a an interest in political ideas and their impact on everyday politicsJim’s office, enveloped by towering piles of books squeezed into every centimetre of shelf space, exemplifies an academic with diverse and divergent research areas. But it takes an excursion into his motivation to understand how his endlessly-fascinating mind works.
Having started his working life as an apprentice electrician with the Department of Civil Aviation, Jim’s thirst for knowledge impelled him to higher education and the University of Adelaide where he enrolled in a Bachelor of Arts, majoring in Politics and Philosophy. While it was philosophy that drew Jim to study, it was politics that directed his learning arc.
“I was always interested in political philosophy and political theory, partly as a result of an interest in the history of political thought and seeking to understand why humans do things the way that they do,” Jim explains. “It just so happened that the politics department at UOA had some of the most interesting courses on offer which I found more appealing than the one single political philosophy course in a sea of mainstream analytic philosophy.”
The study of the history of political thought and contemporary political theory, including a course on Freud, Sartre and Chomsky, was buffered with the obligatory study of Marx. And here’s where Jim’s interest was piqued. “I was drawn to political philosophy more than the nuts and bolts side of politics, though you cannot really escape the latter, sooner or later you have to make connections between theory and practice.”
That philosophical background has helped Jim navigate a complex, and often surprising global political landscape, where he is often called upon by media to offer commentary on current political events. “The philosophy gives you the tools to understand the conceptual nature of political thought: how it evolves, fits together and gets used.”
Jim acknowledges that, conversely, a knowledge of the practical side of politics is necessary to understand the philosophical – which is where his focus on governance discourse comes in. Governance is a little-understood, but widely used, term which has now been appropriated through academia and the corporate world.
The term has been around for quite some time, but re-emerged in Australia in around 1992 when we saw a huge spike in its usage. “It is part of a shift in the way that politics and economics relate to each other,” says Jim. “The World Bank wrote a number of reports around governance in the late 80s and early 90s around poverty and development, and one of the major findings was that there would be better improvements in the developing world if they had better governance structures. In the view of the World Bank (and other financial institutions) you need good governance structures in place to ensure that corruption did not occur, that there were clear audit-trails in place.”
“Governance is just another fancy word for managing, but it has taken on a lustre all of its own and people use it interchangeably with government, yet government and governance have subtly different, separate but interconnected, meanings.”
It is this subtle nuance of words and their meanings that set Jim on another research area: feminist theory.
A gendered perspective on feminism
Jim’s interest in feminist political theory was sparked at an early stage in his academic career. “One of the things that fascinated me about political discourse was that there were certain terms that were deemed to be generic: the body, human nature, the individual, citizen. All these terms were considered non sex-specific. But when you explored the language of political thought there seemed to be some odd sleights of hand going on where there was a gendered influence. Man was claimed to be generic, but in many cases you cannot substitute ‘woman’ for ‘man’ and have the inference be the same.”
“This fascinated me, there are two bodies, but one concept – the ‘body’. How can we talk about and think about what people do if we have a language that continually absorbs one half of the human race, a phrase taken from a rather famous book?” Jim muses. This conversation leads Jim to his well-stacked bookshelves, where he immediately plucks one book from the pile. It’s a book published in 1825 with the unwieldy title: “An Appeal of one Half of the Human Race, Women, on behalf of the other half, Men, to Retain them in Political and thence in Civil and Domestic Slavery, in reply to a paragraph of Mr. Mill’s celebrated “Article on Government”.”
“I discovered this book by chance, as a first year student in the days when libraries were places where you browsed stacks. For some reason I couldn’t find the book I was looking for, so I started browsing along the shelf and found some really interesting stuff – including this book.”
Although coming up to 200 years old, and with the authors virtually forgotten, Jim says that this book sums up the key issue of feminist political theory: “How can we discuss political philosophy as if one half of the human race is invisible?
This became an undercurrent in both Jim’s research and teaching. “Every now and again it would re-emerge, and I would get fascinated with some aspect and nibble away at it,” Jim says. “Every couple of years there’ll be a spike of feminist outlook, and then I’ll go back into other more mundane areas.”
Writing about feminism as a man is a unique angle. Jim is conscious of this position and frames his work appropriately, exploring the threads that he has pursued throughout his research career. For example, Jim is passionate about exploring anarchist theorists such as Emma Goldman, and why her prolific role in the development of anarchist political philosophy is still under-recognised when compared to men anarchists.
Much of Jim’s research comes about through a sense of inspired curiosity, but it requires a great deal of persistence. “Tenacity is essential as a researcher, you cannot let little setbacks dictate how you do your research. A lot of interesting research outcomes arise somewhat serendipitously, often you find what you’re looking for when you’re not looking for it.”

Career Summary
Biography
In February 2021 I formally retired from the University of Newcastle, and am now Emeritus Professor of Politics. I arrived at Newcastle in May 2001 to take up a Senior Lectureship in Politics, Over the past twenty years I have been engaged in teaching, researching and promoting the study of politics. My research activities and supervision of higher degree students remains ongoing.
Research Expertise
One of my principal research areas examines the theory and practice of governance, its rise and deployment within Australian political discourse, the idea of the 'governance state' in the contemporary era (especially in transitional postcolonial societies in East Africa), and the governance of political and religious violence. Arising from this interest in governance has been the supervision of a number of PhD projects that have explored aspects of contemporary governance in Africa. A second major area of research involves the history of feminist political thought, in particular the contributions to political theory of nineteenth century feminist, Anna Doyle Wheeler. I am the author of Biopolitics of the Subject: An Introduction to the Ideas of Michel Foucault (1998), a contributor to Anarchists and Anarchist Thought: An Annotated Bibliography, ed Paul Nursey-Bray (1992), and co-editor of Not So Strange Bedfellows: The Nexus of Politics and Religion in the 21st Century. I have published numerous journal articles on political theory, feminist theory, and Australian politics and public policy.
Teaching Expertise
I taught a range of politics courses including: POLI1010: Australian Politics and Government, POLI1020: Introduction to Politics, POLI2010/POLI3010: Australian Political Culture, POLI2040/POLI3040: Democracy and the Politics of Equality, POLI2050/POLI3050: Political Theory and Social Change, POLI2120/POLI3120: Challenging Political Discourses, POLI2130/POLI3130: Principles of Public Policy, POLI3002: Power and the State, POLI4001/POLI4002: Politics Honours 1 & 2. I supervised an average of two Honours students per year. Between 2002 and 2020 I have supervised the theses of thirty-four Honours students of whom fourteen were awarded First Class Honours. I supervised twenty-four PhDs to completion between 2003-2021, with one more student in the final stages of completion.
Administrative Expertise
At the University of Newcastle I have undertaken a number of administrative roles. I was Head of the Politics Discipline from 2001-2008, Deputy Head of School from 2002 to 2007, Acting Head from 2007-2008, a member of various Faculty and School committees on an ongoing basis since 2001, a member of the University Senate from 2007 to 2009, Acting Head of the Tourism Discipline in S2 2009. From July 2009 to December 2017 and July to December 2019 I was Assistant Dean of Research for the Faculty of Business & Law. From September 2015 to June 2016 and January to March 2017 I was Deputy Head of Faculty. From January to July 2018 I was Head of the newly created Discipline of Economics, Politics and International Relations.

Disputes over electoral outcomes have been commonplace, often resulting violence and social unrest. Such disputes point to possible limitations of the capacity of formal institutions such as the electoral commissions (and its associated electoral laws) and the judiciary to ensuring their peaceful resolution even where there may be no actual large-scale electoral violence. This paper examines the 2012 presidential election in Ghana. It argues that in addition to these institutional mechanisms there is an important role played by the traditional authorities exercise of informal conflict resolution strategies and the positive values in the (political) culture. Drawing on reports of journalists, the views of politicians and judicial records the paper shows how the preventive mediation of traditional authorities helped to defuse tensions and prevented a potentially violent situation during the electoral process and its disputed outcomes.

How a Supreme Court¿s judicial reasoning is portrayed in the popular press will impact on citizens¿ understanding of and commitment to democratic processes. In the protracted litigation in the aftermath of Ghana¿s disputed 2012 election, its Supreme Court found its judgements and management of proceedings represented as partial, in terms of an unelected body determining political outcomes. This article explores two key questions: what was the nature of the coverage of the Court¿s reasoning, and to what extent did this coverage fortify or threaten the legitimacy of the Supreme Court within the political system? It concludes that the specialist politics and law journalists failed to demystify the constitutional reasoning of the Court in such a way that ordinary citizens were able to gain an understanding of the judicial reasoning being applied. There is, the authors believe, some value in examining this issue despite the passage of time since the delivery of the court¿s verdict.

Yet, democracy assistance is an important feature of Botswana¿s political regime. The rationale for democracy assistance is couched in terms of strengthening the country¿s democratic institutions, enhancing the state¿s capacity, and bolstering Botswana¿s civil society. However, contrary to these stated objectives, this article reveals that democracy assistance serves the agenda of Western donor countries and certain multilateral institutions¿an agenda concerned with keeping Botswana politically stable and its state institutions efficient so that the country is attractive to investors. This agenda is pursued at the cost of not making certain long overdue political reforms.

[more] Extractive resources politics in many resource rich countries remain contentious due to complex relations between resource owners on the one hand and the investors on the other hand. Recent policy reforms in Tanzania have been enacted to bring the development of energy resources under the control of the national government. The impact of these policy changes on the politics of participatory resource governance in terms of local community engagement in decision making and governance processes has not received much scholarly attention. This paper explores how the government's policy of national ownership shapes community engagement in decision making processes in the gas rich regions of Mtwara and Lindi. The paper draws on government documents, media reports as well as interviews with local communities, local government leaders and officials and central government officials. It argues that the policy framework for national ownership of natural gas is used by the government to thwart grassroot community initiatives for participation in decision making processes.

While extractive companies have not yet announced their investment decisions, the government has anticipated future activities by putting in place institutional, policy and legal frameworks to ensure that there is a stable basis for the development of the subsector. These measures aim to ensure a vibrant level of industrial development. However, it is not clear whether they will be sufficient to enable Tanzania to avoid the fate that has befallen some other resource rich African countries, namely the resource curse. Hence it is imperative that Tanzania finds a way to prevent potential adverse effects from becoming realities that eventually turn into a resource curse. This paper considers the role and significance of active community participation in natural gas decision making and governance processes. The paper draws on government documents for the energy sector and forty-four semi-structured interviews conducted between July 2016 and February 2017 with community members, religious leaders, local government officials, central government bureaucrats, civil society organisations and political representatives in Mtwara, Lindi and Dar es Salaam. The paper argues that active community engagement in decision-making and governance processes is as important as economic participation. This calls for a re-think of local content policy and regulations to ensure that communities not only participate in natural gas value and supply chains but also have the opportunity and capacity to influence decisions about how they participate and benefit from extractive resources.

[more] The High Court of Australia¿s decision in Monis v The Queen and Droudis v The Queen concerned whether Monis and Droudis¿s use of the postal service to send offensive letters warranted the constitutional protection of the implied freedom of political communication. The outcome was a split decision: the three men judges found for Monis and Droudis, and the three women judges against. We argue that this decision was significant because it draws attention to the law¿s key role in framing political understandings of the nature of and demarcation between public and private spheres. The Court¿s interpretations concerning how we should understand and apply the foundational relationships binding the state, the individual, and the public and private spheres in the twenty-first century highlights the gendered complexities of the politics shaping those relationships. It also highlights the gendered privileging of what sort of speech should be exempted from the law¿s immediate purview, and in so doing, further reveals the masculinism upon which Australia¿s constitutional framework rests.
