KEY CENTRE FOR ETHICS LAW JUSTICE AND GOVERNANCE The conference is being hosted by the Key Centre for Ethics Law Justice and Governance. The Key Centre is the first nationally funded teaching and research centre in ethics and governance in Australia. Established in 1999, the Key Centre focuses its research on the institutions that embody and protect the values of liberal democracy -- liberty, rights, citizenship, welfare, community and the rule of law. In recent years, concerns have been raised about the effectiveness of our institutions and the ethics of those who run them. Institutions -- including the institutions of government, the market, and civil society -- are seen as alienating and overweening, and as failing to live up to the values that they were established to further. other concerns relate to the reduced power and condifence of institutions to address critical socio-economic issues, especially employment, crime, public safety and the environment. These growing levels of doubt may be attributed to our increasingly globalised society and to the apparent weakening of the political and social insitutions that underpin liberl democratic values and provide normative support for law. While individual disciplines such as law, ethics, criminology, public sector management and economics, are able to offer partial insights into the challenges of a globalised world, none of these disciplines alone can adequately conceive of either the problems or the solutions. the Key Centre draws these areas of research together into a coherehnt whole.
