Fragility and Security: Human Rights, State Wrongs and Democratic Solidarity

该项目将提供一个规范框架，据以判断安全和人权的民主价值，从而促进对本区域和世界的了解。在这样做时，它将为当代关于边境保护的辩论提供信息，并澄清澳大利亚公民在确定国家安全利益和捍卫人权方面应发挥的作用。此外，还将发展民主团结，这将加强不同文化的公民和非公民之间的联系，从而提高澳大利亚作为一个宽容、多文化社会的声誉。将考虑调查结果对当代关于澳大利亚寻求庇护者待遇的辩论的影响。

This project will contribute to understanding our region and the world by providing a normative framework from which to judge the democratic value of security and human rights. In doing so, it will inform contemporary debates about border protection and clarify the role that Australian citizens should play in determining the nation's security interests and defending human rights. Moreover, an account of democratic solidarity will be developed, which would strengthen the bonds between citizens and non-citizens from different cultures thereby enhancing Australia's reputation as a tolerant, multicultural society. The implications of the findings for contemporary debates about the treatment of asylum seekers in Australia will be considered.
