Abstract
This paper traces the internal and external pressures on Australian manufacturing which have developed during the 1960s and 1970s and considers the problems these pose for a nation whose industrial structure has been based on high levels of protection. The spatial changes in the distribution of manufacturing employment are examined with special emphasis on the period since mid-1974. Finally an attempt is made to consider future spatial changes and their implications if the level of protection is lowered and technological change continues.Keywords
