Collaborative Research – impacts of the TEC research project choices context challenges culture
Context - three core agencies: • Environmental Regulatory Agencies (ERAs) • Customs/Port Authorities (CPAs) • Police Agencies (PAs) • Key Points - the 3 core agencies: • Operate within and across very different areas of a ‘regulatory and enforcement spectrum’ • Have developed enforcement culture/practices which reflect their sphere of operations • Have key (lead and support) roles in combating Transnational Environmental Crime
Choices - three main responses: • Administrative • Civil • Criminal • Key Points - the 3 main types of responses: • Have clear utility singularly and in combination • No one solution (or combination) suits all circumstances • The application of LER is highly nuanced
Challenges – definitions and roles • Key Points – in terms of challenges: • Definitional issues influencing involvement in and priority afforded Transnational Environmental Crime (including identification and acceptance of role and responsibilities) • Interoperability between lead, partner and supporting agencies (and others NGOs/CSOs) • Acceptance and accommodation of cultural differences in combating Transnational Environmental Crime • Who & What • Where & When • Why & How
Culture – operational and policy • Key Points – Cultural aspects are heavily informed by those issues raised in Context: • Do agencies have the capacity to respond with the full suite of law enforcement responses • Do agencies have the requisite capability (skills, knowledge, experience, resources and mandate) to respond effectively • Is there cultural alignment between policy (intent) and operational (activity) • Capacity • Capability • Culture
Collaborative Research • Key observations and experiences – Collaborative Research: • Genuinely creates a level of interest and support • Surprised at the level of sharing of research (at various stages) by academics • For an issue like Transnational Environmental Crime it has significant advantages • You learn that academics and public servants don't live on different planets and they don’t speak different languages (well maybe just different dialects). • Along the way it has informed and shaped various departmental activities and Australian Government inputs at regional and international events • It broadens the perspective – and its all about perspective!
