Description
If we are to understand global capital, neoliberalism and the state in meaningful ways, we must understand them as they operate in, and on, particular places and people. - Amanda Walsh
Globalisation, the State and Regional Australia is a pivotal exploration of a complex 21st-century phenomenon—globalisation. This book provides fresh insights into the political and economic implications of globalisation by delving into the lived experiences of the Shoalhaven area in New South Wales, where two iconic Australian industries—dairying and manufacturing—have faced the harsh realities of global competition.
Through an in-depth examination of layers comprising theory, policy, and politics, Amanda Walsh surveys the impact of globalisation in regional Australia. The text utilises industry case studies to illustrate how national decisions resonate within regional communities, particularly highlighting the role of the state in promoting and mediating the forces of globalisation.

International Student Policy in Australia
Australia’s higher education sector was hit hard by the COVID-19 pandemic.
