Le Flâneur Politique

The concept of le flâneur politique becomes my "vehicle for the examination of the conditions of modernity". A blog about my political science research, teaching, and community engagement, and my philosophical, pedagogical, and literary musings.

Dr Michael de Percy

Dr Michael de Percy CMILT is a Senior Lecturer in Political Science in the School of Government and Policy and an Academic Fellow of the Institute for Governance and Policy Analysis at the University of Canberra.

His research focuses on transport, logistics and communications policy and infrastructure. He adopts an historical institutionalist approach to understand how policy decisions made in the past influence the options available in the present. This is particularly important in networked technologies such as transport and communications where legacy technologies tend to restrict optimal use of emerging technologies.

Michael teaches political economy and leadership and he is a keen adopter of flexible pedagogical approaches in his teaching. He is a graduate of the Australian National University (PhD) and the Royal Military College Duntroon, and he is a Chartered Member (CMILT) of the Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport.
