It is often asserted that the ruling elite in Western capitalist economies now consists of liberal intellectuals and their media sympathisers. By contrast this book looks at the real elite in Australian and New Zealand society and shows that there is still a ruling class based upon economic dominance. From an analysis of corporate and public records, interviews, and other primary and secondary data, it develops a picture of networks of power that are changing but are as real as any network in the past.

This absorbing book addresses the seemingly simple question of who rules the world by linking it to debates about who owns the world and what this means for the dynamics of global power distribution. Several expert contributors focus on global issues, including the role of transnational finance, interlocking directorates, ownership and tax havens. Others examine how these issues at the global level interact with the regional or nation state level in the US, the UK, China, Australia and Mexico. The book scrutinizes globalization from a fresh, holistic perspective, examining the relationship between the national and transnational to uncover the most significant structures and agents of power. Possible policy futures are also considered. Academics and researchers across a varied spectrum of fields encompassing business and management, international studies and public policy will find this book both fascinating and important. Contributors: W.K. Carroll, B. Cronin, F.-X. Dudouet, E. Gremont, J. Harris, G. Murray, D. Peetz, A. Salas-Porras, J. Scott, C.L. Staples, A. van Fossen, A. Vion

This text provides a cutting edge analysis of the increasingly central role think tanks play in societies worldwide. Examining their control of global resources both in economic and political policy fields and their inroads into structures of power, it addresses key questions. How have think thanks reached these positions of power? Has the northern core produced neoliberal clones that have hydra-like colonised the globe? Who funds and controls these think tanks and for what purpose? How is policy making knowledge created? How are new policy ideas propagated and validated? How do think tanks become dominant sources of knowledge in public spheres including the media? Exploring the dynamics of think tank networks in specific regions and countries, this book considers the coalitions they generate to advance the social purpose they endorse and, in particular, the spaces they occupy in the structures and fields of power at the national, regional and global level.

This book examines the working lives of women scientists from different countries, backgrounds, and career stages. Despite their varied experiences, many face similar challenges: job insecurity, high stress, unequal caregiving responsibilities, gender discrimination, limited support for career development, and a culture that tolerates bullying and harassment.The research is based on qualitative responses from 30 women scientists who were selected through articles they had published. Each responded to a 10-question survey in 2021–22, offering insights into their day-to-day experiences in science. While their stories differ, a common theme emerged: many felt science remains a male-dominated field where progress can be harder for women.One of the more striking findings is the extent and nature of (sexual) harassment and bullying in these high-skill environments. In the context of ongoing conversations around gender equality and the #MeToo movement, these firsthand accounts add evidence and nuance to a highly charged public debate.This book doesn’t offer easy solutions. Instead, it gives readers a clear picture of what working in science is like for many women today, and shares their own suggestions for how conditions could improve. For readers in academia, research, or other professional environments, it raises important questions about culture, leadership, and inclusion.
