In a global economy, the decline of manufacturing industries has not just occurred in the U.S. but has also affected other high-wage labor markets, including Australia. As well as throwing light on this process in Australia, this project will show that deindustrialization is a transnational process and that many multinational firms have declined simultaneously in both countries. In a world where factory closings constantly make headlines, the project also has considerable contemporary relevance in both countries.
