- Summary:
-
"This new edition continues the fine traditions established in previous editions. Key aspects of Australia's demographic, socioeconomic and political organisation are brought into focus. Each chapter begins with a review of issues drawn from Australian and international literature, then presents the findings of our own investigations using large-scale data sources such as the population census and national sample surveys. The scope of this new edition is comprehensive. Family, gender, ethnicity and religion provide the early focus, together with an expanded analysis of Indigenous Australia. Next come chapters on education and work, complemented by a detailed investigation of health and ageing. The focus then turns to Australia's political landscape: attitudes, leadership, partisanship and voting behaviour. A feature of this edition is a new chapter on globalisation, with emphasis on global governance, environment, terrorism and the nation state."--Publisher's website.
