This book offers a critical reflection on the ways in which
migration has shaped Australia's cities, especially over the past
twenty years. Australian cities are among the world's most
culturally diverse and are home to most of the nation's population.
This edited collection brings together contemporary research
carried out by scholars across a range of diverse disciplines, all
of whom are concerned with the intersections between migration and
urban change. The chapters are organised under three sections:
demographic, settlement and environmental transitions; urban form
and housing transitions; and socio-cultural transitions. Drawing on
diverse theoretical and methodological approaches, the chapters
engage with a range of factors and influences affecting migration
and urban development. This book will be of special interest to
scholars and practitioners in the disciplines of sociology, urban
planning, geography, public policy and environmental
sustainability.
This book analyses the role of local content (LC) policy in the
economic development of five resource-rich countries: Brazil,
Kazakhstan, Norway, Russia and the UK. The authors situate LC
policy within a framework of sustainability in the form of
industrial diversification and innovation-led growth, and examine
how effective LC policies are in facilitating sectoral and
economy-wide catching up. Structured in five chapters, the book
begins with an introduction and then presents an overview of LC
definitions and situates LC policies within a framework of economic
development. The third chapter compares specific examples of LC
development and highlights variations in practice as well as
learning across case countries. The fourth chapter focuses on
macro-economic, micro-economic and institutional challenges
conditioning LC development and the ability of LC policies to
assist innovation-led growth. The authors conclude by examining
what the future holds for LC policies and their role in promoting
economic growth and addressing the wider social, political and
economic challenges in resource-rich countries.
