This project will provide the first book-length history of foreign-owned car manufacturing in the US. The first foreign-owned car factory was established by Volkswagen in 1976, and by 2009 these transplant factories employed 78,000 people, turning out 25 percent of all cars made in the U.S. Taking an historical approach, the project will explore the central question of why these factories have thrived at a time when Ford, General Motors, and Chrysler have steadily laid off workers. An original examination of a topic that has received little academic attention, this project will provide insights into capital mobility in this key industry, offering lessons for Australia and other high-wage labour markets.

该项目将提供第一本书长度的外国汽车制造业在美国的历史。1976年，大众汽车建立了第一家外资汽车工厂，到2009年，这些移植工厂雇用了78，000人，生产了美国所有汽车的25%。该项目将从历史的角度探讨为什么这些工厂在福特、通用汽车和克莱斯勒稳步裁员的时候蓬勃发展的核心问题。该项目对一个几乎没有受到学术关注的主题进行了原创性研究，将深入了解这一关键行业的资本流动性，为澳大利亚和其他高薪劳动力市场提供经验教训。
