摘要澳大利亚汽车制造业于2017年第三季度关闭，通用汽车霍尔顿、福特和丰田停止了大规模生产，结束了70年的汽车组装。这导致了汽车生产商之间非常明显的冗余，以及供应链中更深刻但不太明显的就业损失。对受影响社区可能产生的影响将是深远的，北方阿德莱德、墨尔本的外围地区和地区城市基隆可能在未来几十年内见证长期失业。然而，这一结果并不是市场力量的必然结果;相反，这是30多年来历届政府决策的产物，也是面对经济冲击的全球产业结构调整的结果。本文首先将研究置于一个新的国家空间框架内，然后勾勒出澳大利亚汽车工业在20世纪世纪的动态，并继续考虑在国家层面上促成变化的制度和政策因素。
ABSTRACT The Australian car manufacturing industry closed in the third quarter of 2017, bringing to an end 70 years of vehicle assembly as General Motors Holden, Ford and Toyota ceased large-scale production. This resulted in highly visible redundancies amongst the vehicle producers, and a more profound, but less noticeable, loss of employment within the supply chain. The likely impact on the affected communities will be profound, with northern Adelaide, the outer parts of Melbourne and the regional city of Geelong likely to bear witness to long-term worklessness for decades to come. This outcome, however, was not an inevitable consequence of market forces; instead, it was a product of the decisions of successive governments over more than 30 years, as well as the consequences of a global industry restructuring in the face of economic shock. This paper begins by situating the research within a new state spaces framework before sketching out the dynamics of the Australian car industry in the twentieth century, and moving on to consider the institutional and policy factors that contributed at the national level to change.
