| Summary |
Globalisation is the worldwide movement of goods, capital, people, and ideas due to increasing economic growth, propelled by the ongoing expansion of global trade and investment. In recent times, new technologies and reductions in trade barriers have hastened the speed of this global exchange, resulting in more opportunities for some and greater challenges for others. Is globalisation shared equally, or is its inexorable advancement creating nations of haves and have-nots? What are the key economic, environmental, cultural and equity factors in the debate over the fairness of globalisation? Can free trade also be fair trade? This volume contains an overview of globalisation, and presents Australian-sourced arguments for its benefits and against its negative impacts |
