Australians and Globalisation: The Experience of Two Centuries
Cambridge University Press, 2001
Страниц: 224
Is globalisation new? Are its effects inevitable? Are the concepts of national sovereignty and global markets incompatible? In this provocative book, the authors argue that Australia has always been a 'globalised' country. In terms of its economy, political sovereignty and sense of national identity, Australians have had to create for themselves a complex position between dependence and irrelevance. "Australians and Globalisation" tells how governance and citizenship developed in response to global forces, starting with colonial societies and moving through the federation period and the twentieth century to the present day with the accelerated impact of globalisation.
