Australians and Globalisation: The Experience of Two Centuries

Is globalization 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 ＂globalized＂ nation. They reveal how governance and citizenship developed in response to global forces, starting with colonial societies that moved through the federation period and the twentieth century into the present day’s era of accelerated globalization.
