Coming at a time when the Australian mining industry has attained international importance, this book is a carefully researched and clearly written study of the complex negotiations between Australian executives and their foreign partners, their struggles to secure markets for minerals, and their often stormy relations with Commonwealth and State politicians and bureaucrats. Also focusing on the mineworkers and their unions, the author confronts the issues of mechanization and new technologies as they affect the organization of work. (Google books)… (altro)
