About The Globalisation Guide

The Globalisation Guide is designed as a resource for students. It presents the arguments of both those who believe globalisation is a force for good and those who believe it is a force for evil.

The Australian Apec Study Centre, which has put the Globalisation Guide together, is avowedly in the camp of the former. The experience of the countries in the Asia-Pacific has been that freeing of trade and the integration of economies has brought improvement in prosperity.

However globalisation is a product of capitalism, which undeniably produces losers as well as winners. The development of capitalism will inevitably generate controversy.

The path of progress can only come through an understanding of the diverse arguments that are made.

The Australian APEC Study Centre http://www.apec.org.au is a unit of Monash University in Melbourne. Its role is to research, to inform and to promote discussion on issues related to Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation.

The web-sites highlighted in The Globalisation Guide are only a minute fraction of the 660,000 or so places you can visit on the internet that mention globalisation. We hope you find it an interesting selection. We invite you to submit any suggestions you may have for the site, which is updated regularly.

If you would like to send us your email address, we will let you know when updates are posted.
