SynopsisThis unit explores the different ways in which globalisation transforms those regions that lie outside the boundaries of Australia's capital cities. Studying the regional impact of global processes is significant since it is often non-metropolitan regions where the uneven effects of globalisation are experienced most intensely. The unit focuses on how globalisation contributes to economic, environmental and social change in regional Australia, and its implications for various groups communities and industries. We also engage with debates over how to create a more sustainable future for regional Australia, and reflect on the tensions involved in current strategies to enhance 'sustainability'. Objectives
