Globalization and Its Discontents

An international conference, including presentation and comparison of
Australian and Canadian perspectives on globalization, hosted by the

the concept of globalization; the consequences of globalization for society
(labour, business, social movements, non-governmental organizations,
indigenous peoples) and the state at all levels - international, national,
and sub-national; and the challenges posed to institutions (including
governments and the third sector) and social groups as they respond to
globalization.
Proposals for papers, which should include a one page abstract, should be

A refereed publication of selected papers is expected to result from the
