| Description: | Australian society has been shaped more by immigration and
immigrants than most countries in the world today. This paper examines
the changes to the character and composition of Australian immigration
in the post-1945 period and analyses the impact of these changes on the
public discourses and policy responses related to Australian immigration and settlement philosophies and
practices in Australia today. It first looks at the Australian immigration
experience, and how immigration policy has changed in recent decades as a
result of globalisation. It then outlines the changing composition and character of
the Australian immigration intake as a consequence of these policy changes, and
at the key discourses about Australian immigration that have accompanied these
changes. The paper then examines the way in which immigrant settlement or
integration policies and practices have changed in light of the impact of
globalisation on the political, economic and social climate in Australian society,
with a particular emphasis on the debates about Australian multiculturalism.
Finally, the paper addresses the new challenges for government policy makers
and for decision makers in the private and non-government sectors of Australian
society that are a consequence to the changing dynamics of the Australian
immigration experience in a changing global world. |
