Gordon Peake is an Affiliate at the Center for Australia, New Zealand and Pacific Studies (CANZAPS).
Gordon has crossed back and forth between research and practice throughout his career. Initial scholarship on conflict resolution and peacebuilding informed his work as an adviser to governments in Timor-Leste and Bougainville; practical experience working at the coalface helped provide the substance for a body of work that has focused on the human complexities of implementation.
His first book 'Beloved Land: Stories Struggles and Secrets from Timor-Leste' won the 2014 ACT Book of the Year and the People's Choice Award. His second book entitled 'Unsung Land, Aspriring Nation' is about Bougainville and published in 2022
Gordon hosts the 'Statecraftiness' podcast.
