| Summary |
"Although applicable beyond Australia, the subject of international transactions has particular significance for this country and its future. Dependence on international trade and investment has been a fundamental aspect of the development of the economy and the standard of living of the population since earliest colonial times. More recent advances in communications technology, together with the emergence of new forms of market and financial arrangements have introduced fresh challenges. Further issues arise from political strategies involving GATT, formation of regional trading blocs and related negotiations. In twenty-one chapters by specialist contributors, this work provides comprehensive coverage of a field of great and growing practical and academic significance." -- from the Foreword by Emeritus Professor A. S. Carrington |
