During the 1980s and 1990s, Australia's migration intake turned
rapidly towards recruiting business professionals, managers and
entrepreneurs to support the country's entry into an economic
system marked by global value chains. This book analyses the policy
idea termed Productive Diversity, introduced by the Australian
government as a way of conceptualising the belief that migrants
would bring business acumen and a global outlook to help Australia
compete as a trading nation. The book examines this germinal period
of Australia's economic reorientation through a close inspection of
policy documents, parliamentary hearings, economic and migration
statistics, and interviews with the architects of the policy. It
provides a comprehensive account of how the policy framework
emerged, how it was implemented, and studies the rationale in
recruiting self-starters and managers to connect with global trade
flows. This work will be of interest to students and researchers of
migration studies, especially Australian migration, diversity
policies, sociology, multiculturalism, economics, development
studies, and Asia-Pacific studies. The methods and data will also
be of value to political economists and policy makers.
