Global Restructuring - The Australian Experience
Robert Fagan and Michael Webber
'Global Restructuring: The Australian Experience provides a lucid introduction to such issues as the future role of transnational corporations, foreign investment, and the competitiveness of Australian production on world markets. It also discusses other related issues, including the marginalising effect of economic restructuring on particular groups and localities, and the appropriate role of governments, both in responding to global change and in trying to exert some control over its local impacts.
This book demonstrates the importance of a geographical perspective in understanding special links between processes of global change and economic transformations in Australia. Recent explanations of global restructuring are used to understand current patterns of production, trade and investment.
This fully revised edition of Global Restructuring reflects on the Australian experience of global restructuring during the 1990s. The uneven social and geographical impacts of economic change in Australia are summarised. Case studies of food manufacturing and banking have been fully updated.'
