Sacred land, mineral wealth, and biodiversity at Coronation Hill, Northern Australia
This paper is concerned with the role of social impact assessment (SIA) in the resolution of an environmental conflict involving demands for the conservation of an ecologically significant area, a proposal to exploit mineral wealth, and the concerns of indigenous custodians who feared damage to sacred lands. This is a case in which the knowledge claims of key protagonists were deeply politicized and contested, and in which the process of decision…
Quality Assurance, Deregulation and Participation in Policy Making
Resource management decision making at the local farm enterprise level is located within a global context. These layered structures of globalization and the uneven effects of agricultural restructuring and deregulation constrain and challenge both short and long term planning strategies. This paper analyses interviews with women in dairy and vegetable production in Tasmania and Queensland and delineates their perception of globalisation, its inst…
Agri-Food Restructuring and Third World Transnationals
Introduction. The Global Restructuring of Food and Agriculture
This special edition of Rural Sociology focuses on processes of agri-food restructuring in Australia and New Zealand. The authors in the collection are all members of the Agri-food Research Network,a loose grouping of researchers who came together in 1993 in order to analyze the roles and relationships of agri-food industries in the Australasia region during a period of major change. The researchers were drawn from a wide range of disciplines, bu…
Farm Work Satisfaction and Acceptance of Sustainability Goals by Australian Organic and Conventional Farmers1
Farmer dependence on large-scale organizations for inputs to production is an attribute of Australian agriculture and has changed the character of farm work and how farmers see the future of agriculture. We discuss how these changes are related to farmer satisfaction with their work and their commitment to an alternative or conventional agricultural paradigm. Organic and conventional farmers are compared and findings show that organic farmers exp…
Global Shrimp Activism
Resource development and resource dependency of indigenous communities
Indigenous people and their communities are often critical actors in resource development networks dominated by large-scale private and public sector organizations. Development policies and projects have often been contentious in Australia because lands on which development has occurred or been proposed are frequently areas of spiritual and traditional significance to Aboriginal people. Conflicts over development are therefore intense, occur in t…
Structural differentiation and size in organizations
Relationships between size and structural differentiation are basic points of analysis by organizational sociologists. Building upon Blau's 1970 theory of size and structure in organizations, we present a thermodynamic model of these relationships that offers a new theoretical perspective on processes central to understanding organizations: structural stability, equilibrium and change. Our method is to adapt Blau's theory to thermodynamic princip…

Economic miracles and environmental dilemmas
Mortality levels and family fertility goals
In our last paper (Parlange et al., 1983), we dealt with problem of estimating group fertility rates from expected probability of a child surviving to a given age of a parent. We showed that by incorporating birth order in a comprehensive model, we were able to predict group fertility rates more accurately than a competing model found in demographic literature (Krishnamoorthy, 1979). Our principal criticism of Krishnamoorthy model was that it was…
Mortality levels and family fertility goals
The relationship between mortality levels and family fertility goals is a fundamental problem in the theory of the demographic transition. This paper deals with the logical problems of estimating family fertility rates from the expected probability of a child surviving to a given age of a parent. The possibility of committing the ecological fallacy makes precise prediction difficult. We critically analyze an existing mathematical model of family …
Industrial Change and Classical Theory
Knowledge Management in Industrial Society and Environmental Quality
Aside from their economic power, the great industrial corporations have a significant role in the creation and application of technical knowledge. Because of their power and the fact that most scientists and engineers work in private industry, these organizations have had substantial influence over problem definition and policy-formation related to a variety of critical issues. Few would disagree with the statement that knowledge shapes policy. A…
