Funded Activity Summary

Responding to Globalization: Firms, the State and Upgrading in the Automotive Industry on the Western Pacific Rim. The automotive industry is arguably still the most important manufacturing sector in the world economy. It is one of the most 'globalized' of industrial sectors, whether considered in terms of geographical dispersion of production or of trade. In Australia, the turnover of the auto industry is around $17 billions per year. It employs more than 50,000 people. Like other auto industries around the region, that in Australia must adjust to several rapidly changing contexts driven by technological developments, industry consolidation, and new trade regimes. This project will provide a better understanding of the forces driving change, and of the range of possible policy responses available to firms and governments.
