Commonality and difference: Australia and the United States (Australian Fulbright papers)

By Glen (ed.) Wither

Australia and the US are similar in many ways, yet they diverge dramatically in many others. This inaugural volume in the Australian Fulbright series brings together a group of both Australian and American scholars to review key aspects of this commonality and difference. The focus is on how both countries have handled two of the big trade-offs in national policy: pluralism versus unity, and economic growth versus equity. As befits a project under Fulbright auspices, attention is also given to the creation and sharing of knowledge.
