Research Doctorate - Doctor of Philosophy / This thesis explores the barriers that are preventing large numbers of permanent resident overseas-trained doctors (PROTDs) from working as general practitioners (GPs) in rural New South Wales (NSW). It focuses specifically on doctors from non-English speaking backgrounds who are permanent residents of Australia or Australian citizens, and who migrated to Australia for reasons other than employment. This thesis explores the views and perceptions of PROTDs and does not specifically consider the views of other stakeholders. Archival, qualitative and quantitative research techniques have been used to determine the suitability of the policies and practices governing the appointment and registration of PROTDs in NSW, and to identify any policy changes required. This research demonstrates that the policies governing medical registration in NSW have frequently been driven by political factors, and have, at times, been used to control the size of the medical workforce. As a consequence of these policies, many PROTDs have been prevented from working as a doctor in NSW. Of particular concern is the lack of training or clinical experience available to PROTDs and their difficulties preparing for, and passing, the Australian Medical Council (AMC) examinations. The lack of accurate information regarding the requirements and opportunities for medical practice in NSW is also a major problem. PROTDs in NSW are unable to get the training and support they need to meet the requirements for medical registration in NSW and are rapidly losing their confidence, and their clinical skills. Not all PROTDs are going to have, or be able to acquire, the skills and knowledge required for general practice in rural NSW. However the need for additional doctors is sufficiently great to warrant a proactive approach from governments and relevant agencies. In the seven years it has taken to complete this research, most of the discriminatory aspects of the assessment and registration of PROTDs in NSW have been removed. However the legacy of previous policies and practices remains and a large number of PROTDs remain out of the medical workforce.

Partie intégrante de la République Française, les collectivités d’outre-mer oscillent entre identité institutionnelle avec la métropole et quête d'une certaine forme d'autonomie identitaire. Cette particularité trouve sa traduction dans les différentes réformes constitutionnelles depuis leur inscription dans les constitutions de 1946 et 1958. Avec la révision constitutionnelle de 28 mars 2003 sur l'organisation décentralisée de la République, une nouvelle donne institutionnelle s'ouvre pour ces collectivités d'Outre-Mer. Les consultations référendaires sur le statut de la Martinique organisées le 7 décembre 2003, puis les 10 et 24 janvier 2010 s'inscrivaient dans cette logique là.C’est dans ce contexte de mise en place d’une collectivité unique dotée d’une assemblée unique qu’il convient d'aborder les problématiques d’aménagement du territoire. Une telle approche passe par l’analyse des principaux textes relatifs à l’aménagement du territoire ainsi que des évolutions législatives dans ce domaine. Il est important de souligner la volonté sans cesse exprimée par les élus locaux pour l’exercice de plus de responsabilité notamment au regard des politiques d’aménagement du territoire. Pourtant, à ce niveau, le rôle de l’État demeure toujours aussi prépondérant et ce, en dépit des lois de décentralisation. D’où la nécessité d'approfondir l'étude des rapports entre collectivités territoriales et l’État. L’approche comparative des statuts juridiques de Martinique, Guadeloupe, Guyane, Saint-Martin, Polynésie française, s’impose dès lors comme une étape incontournable dans une telle analyse. / Integral part of the French Republic, communities overseas range from corporate identity with the city and looking for some form of self-identity . This feature is its translation into the various constitutional reforms since their inscription in the constitutions of 1946 and 1958. With the constitutional revision of 28 March 2003 on the decentralized organization of the Republic, a new institutional opens for these overseas communities. The referendums on the status of Martinique held December 7, 2003 , then on 10 and 24 January 2010 were part of this logic is in this context of establishing a unique community with a meeting only appropriate to address land issues. Such an approach requires an analysis of key texts relating to planning and legislative developments in this area. It is important to note the willingness constantly expressed by local elected officials to exercise more responsibility especially with regard to land use policies. However, at this level, the role of the state remains as dominant and , despite the decentralization laws. Hence the need for further study of the relationship between local authorities and the state. The comparative approach to legal status of Martinique , Guadeloupe , Guyana, Saint- Martin, French Polynesia , is therefore needed as an essential step in such an analysis.

China’s state-led finance to overseas projects becomes increasingly important, represents a growing financial trend among emerging market economies, and leads to the puzzle: to what extent are state-owned (policy) bank driven by state or by its own interest. The project compares China’s practice of overseas energy finance with Japan – a well-studied case of state-supported development – to highlight the characteristics of Chinese public financiers and integrate their practice into development theories. The project speaks to three major development theories: the market model, in which banks pursue profit; the state model, in which banks are commanded by state; and the interest group model, in which conflicting goals clash in the repeating game between stakeholders. The project argues that banks balance their self-interest and state assignments depending on the regulator-bank and bank-client bargains. In the project, the first research article compiles publicly available data on policy bank loan and calculates the influence of various determinants on loans granted by policy banks. The findings are that Chinese and Japanese banks are driven by both profit and non-market goals and tend to invest in recipients with high risks. Going beyond large-N statistical modeling, the second article uses archives and interviews to investigate to what extent do investment in risky projects are driven by state goals. The article develops an interest-group bargaining model, in which the analysis focuses on four sets of actors in the process of project formation, crisis emergence, and resolution/or lack of resolution. While projects with innate high risk are often considered as economic diplomacy, evidences suggest the projects are mostly driven by recipient governments and for-profit banks. The third, and final, research article relies on elite interviews and archival analysis to investigate the domestic politics of policy bank regulation and the formation of loan policies. Between China and Japan, the article formulates two different institutional structures that govern the effectiveness of policy bank regulation. In Japan, the structure is vertical, with paired ministry-bank regulations. In China, the institutional structure is more like umbrella-shaped joint regulation. This leads to more interactions between the leading regulator and banks and occasionally more efficient policy implementation.
