Globalization

Series: Public and Social Policy Series

'If we are to understand global capital,neoliberalism and the state in meaningful ways, we must understand them as theyoperate in, and on, particular places and people.' Amanda Walsh

Globalisation is an inescapable term in the21st century, but its real meaning is often difficult to pin down. This book shedsnew light on the political and economic implications of globalisation byexamining the lived experience of a particular region: the Shoalhaven area ofNew South Wales, where two iconic Australian industries

dairying andmanufacturing

struggled to survive in the face of global competition.

Drilling down through layers of theory,policy and politics, Amanda Walsh surveys how globalisation has played out in regionalAustralia. Using industry case studies, she explores how decisions made at anational level have affected regional communities, and considers the role ofthe state in promoting and mediating globalising forces.
