Lis pathbreaking new book, Animal Welfare in China, is timely and valuable. ANTHROZOĆSThe issue of animal welfare has attracted attention in Australia in recent decades. Activists and welfare organisations have become increasingly vigorous in promoting a new ethical relationship between humans and animals, and in challenging practices they identify as inhumane. In 2011 this agitation culminated in the temporary suspension of cattle live exports, with significant economic and political implications for Australia. Similar campaigns have focused on domestic food production systems and the use of animals in entertainment.Despite this increased interest, the policy process remains poorly understood. Animal Welfare in Australia is the first Australian book to examine the topic in a systematic manner. Without taking a specific ethical position, Peter John Chen draws on a wide range of sources including activists, industry representatives and policy makers to explain how policy is made and implemented. He explores the history of animal welfare in Australia, examines public opinion and media coverage of key issues, and comprehensively maps the policy domain. He shows how diverse social, ethical and economic interests interact to produce a complex and unpredictable climate.Animal Welfare in Australia will be of interest to scholars and practitioners of public policy, those interested in issues of animal welfare, and anyone wishing to understand how competing interests interact in the contemporary Australian policy landscape.Some supplementary graphs and images can be found at https://ses.library.usyd.edu.au/handle/2123/15349Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: AUItem Height: 210mmItem Length: 148mmContributor: Fiona Probyn-Rapsey (Edited by)Genre: Society & CultureTopic: Social SciencesBook Series: Animal PublicsAuthor: Dr Peter John ChenRelease Year: 2016 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
