Globalisation is a term that is contested in academia from the perspective of semantics, theory, history and characteristics. The fact of the matter is that the world is converging in a myriad of aspects not limited to economics, politics and society. Reading the daily financial news will give guidance to the possible outcomes to the current European debt crisis, so intertwined and interdependent is the state of the global economy.

The globalised economy: This section explores how globalization has redefined economic security, shifting focus from threats of foreign government interference to vulnerabilities within international markets.

The differing impacts of the GFC on Australia and Europe are discussed, highlighting the wide-ranging effects.
