Globalisation and the Asia-Pacific

Contested Perspectives and Diverse Experiences

Edited by Iyanatul Islam, Professor of International Business, Griffith Business School and Griffith Asia Institute, Griffith University, Australia and Co-Editor, Journal of the Asia Pacific Economy and Moazzem Hossain, Griffith Business School and Griffith Asia Institute, Griffith University, Australia

This book illustrates contested perspectives on globalisation represented by the diverse experiences of selected economies within the Asia-Pacific region, namely Australia, China, India and Sri Lanka as case studies.

‘. . . this book is timely, given how the anti-globalisation movement draws so much attention. The book’s strength lies in how it examines diverse economies of the Asia-Pacific region. . . Islam and Hossain’s volume provides a solid and informative foundation for addressing these highly important themes.’
