How my works connects with public policy
Associate Prefessor Levy convenes the International Advisory Panel on Referendums, a global network of scholars providing advice to governments and non-governmental organisations on referendum design and innovation.
He also co-convenes the ICON•S Australia/New Zealand Constitutional Theory Group. And he is the Director of the ANU Law School's LLB and JD Programs.
Levy also co-directs the Project on Deliberative Governance and Law (DGAL), within the Centre for International and Public Law.
