Globalisation Australian Impacts

Ranging over aspects of modern life that are changing rapidly, such as finance, transport, telecommunication, media, education, health, welfare, democracy, and industry, this volume seeks to examine the possibilities and limitations of the future. Based on economic analysis, this collection of essays examines the character of globalization, the processes, and how they operate, and the extent of globalization. The contributors assess current government policy, other local responses, they propose alternative policies, and they suggest alternative responses to market forces.
