Globalisation and rapid social and environmental change in recent
decades have brought into sharper focus not only the benefits but
also the costs of economic development. The once assumed link
between economic development and societal well-being is being
increasingly questioned in the face of growing social and
environmental problems and unfulfilled expectations concerning
political and commercial decision-makers. The orthodox development
dogma is being tested in particular in resource-based economies
such as Western Australia, where globalisation pressures and the
concomitant rise in the demand for natural resources highlight the
difficulties of effectively balancing broader societal interests
with those of industry and the state. This book provides a critical
review of the socio-political, environmental and cultural state of
play in Western Australia, offering an analysis of how
resource-based developments are shaping the state and its people.
