Dr Jackson's first book, The Australian Greens: From Activism to Australia's Third Party, focused on the role of party members in shaping the Australian Greens, and the potential impact of success on the party's original aims and principles. This focus has led to a continuing examination of the philosophical drivers of the Greens, and the impacts of existing state and parliamentary institutions on that growth. 2018, saw the publication of his second, co-authored, title, Australian Politics in the 21st Century, an Australian politics textbook, with a 2nd revised edition published in 2022.


Dr Jackson's current party research focuses on the physical and philosophical barriers to the development of the green parties in the Asia Pacific, requiring extended collaborations with parties across the region This research will also examine the potentials for green political movements and parties to emerge in the Asia Pacific, and has implications for the development of environmental parties across the geopolitical South.
