Summary/Abstract |
In this essay, I offer a brief assessment of Nicholas Rengger’s engagement with arguments arising from the theological critique of modern politics and of his take on the relationship between faith and philosophy in modernity. Rengger’s scepticism, a peculiar mix of naturalism and philosophical idealism, combining insights from Oakeshott, Santayana and Augustine, did not cordon off faith but sought to work out its tensive relationship with practical forms of reasoning in modernity, a condition he described as a ‘hybrid’. Rengger’s critique of the hybridity of modernity rests on assumptions that expose some of the unresolved tensions of his anti-Pelagian scepticism.

Summary/Abstract |
Tony King had a healthy disrespect for conventional wisdom but a deep appreciation for common sense. Drawing on an eclectic mix of sources, both qualitative and quantitative, he wore his learning lightly, the better to highlight and explain to academic and non‐academic audiences how shifts in society and public opinion drove change inside parties and in the party systems in which they operated. King asked great questions and provided answers that simultaneously captured complexity and the big picture. His provocative interpretations and analysis were always stimulating—and many of them proved highly prescient.

Summary/Abstract |
The world has seen a profound shift in global governance as nation-states have sought dialogue and diplomacy in response to the 2008 Global Financial Crisis, not isolation nor condemnation. The G20 has been called upon by the international community to display collective leadership guiding countries through crises, and to refine the financial system to increase responsiveness towards the priorities of emerging economies.
John Kirton maintains that the G20 is a medium for G7ization: transmitting core G7 interests and norms to a wider set of countries crossing geographical, political, economic, and religious divides; however, what these ideals are remains in question. Indonesians feel distrustful towards globalization in part due to the legacy of the 1997 Asian Financial Crisis. This report uses Indonesia as a case study to build a G20 narrative between 2008-2011 to examine sources of scepticism. Overall, scepticism has shifted over time but enthusiasm remains high; the benefits from Indonesia's international exposure vis-à-vis the G20 far outweigh perceived G7ization threats.
Conversely, leadership and continuity are of greatest concern. Looking ahead, 2012 is not the time to push for a formalized G20 secretariat, but to again rely on the troika system for agenda continuity. To enhance the legitimacy of the G20, Indonesia must prioritize domestic connectivity and establish the basis for a green economy as promised in 2009.
