Paradigm Shift or a Drop in the Ocean? The America's Cup Impact on Fremantle
Hallmark events are deemed to be exceptional and to have dramatic impacts for the communities involved with them. Whereas studies abound that examine their more immediate effects, there are few that re-visit a community to evaluate the long-term or enduring effects. This paper presents a discussion of the impact of the America's Cup defence that hit Fremantle in Western Australia like a tsunami when Alan Bond's Australia II wrested the Cup from t…
Social networks and the transnational reach of the corporate class in the early-twentieth century
Power geometries
Interlocking directorships and trans‐national linkages within the British Empire, 1900–1930
Recent research has highlighted the value of employing the idea of networks to describe the interrelatedness of today's globalizing economy. Networks facilitate flows of knowledge, ideas, managerial techniques and capital between firms both within and across political borders. This paper argues that the reconstruction of social connections through which information is created, given value and exchanged is fundamental to an understanding of not on…
Niche Markets, Regional Diversification and the Reinvention of Western Australia's Sandalwood Industry
Diversification and niche marketing have become very important economic strategies for many rural small businesses, farmers and communities. As part of these strategies, new opportunities often emerge for traditional products and industries. In the case of Western Australia, this has contributed to the revitalisation of the sandalwood industry. While sandalwood has been exported from Western Australia for more than 150 years, for much of the seco…
Dreams, Propaganda and Harsh Realities
After the First World War, opportunities for settlement in Britain's imperial territories were pursued vigorously. It is explored how early 1920s ideas about the role of colonization as a means to create ideal 'British' settlements overseas rekindled the thinking of the post-Napoleonic period. In particular, these ideas are examined in the context of the promotion in South West England of 'group settlement' schemes in Western Australia. Sophistic…
Cashing Out, Cashing In
Over the past century the cultural and physical landscape of the Shire of Denmark on the south coast of Western Australia has been transformed by successive waves of in-migrants. The paper examines the period since the early 1970s when alternative lifestylers and early retirees, attracted by the district's natural beauty and low land prices, began moving in and acquiring former Group Settlement holdings. The activities of these and subsequent 'al…
