Summary
"This book provides an accessible exploration of the meaning and implications of globalisation. The discussion is carefully grounded in the changing social, economic, ecological and political relationships of Australia, Global Nation? also looks at a range of existing and potential responses to the globalisation process, arguing that there may be alternatives, even though we are so often told that there are not."--BOOK JACKET
