Living in the Asia Pacific

“It has been said that arguing against globalization is like arguing against the laws of gravity.”

Kofi Annan, 7th Secretary-General of the United Nations & co-recipient of the 2001 Nobel Peace Prize.


What impact has globalisation had on Australia's modern cultural identity, social cohesion and diversity?
