Despite administrative reforms,  Australia has not fully confronted crucial questions regarding the role of states and territories when international issues overlap areas of subnational government authority.  This challenge emerged with controversies over environmental regulations, import quarantines and aboriginal policies. Initial reforms focused mainly on treaty approval processes, leaving broader policy questions largely unexamined.  Subnational governments sometimes react protectively when facing dislocation threats from global forces; conversely, they can carry out constituency representation and education functions in ways that p romote Australia's competitiveness and counter public distrust of globalisation.  Federalism's new challenge is to devise political processes that foster positive state and territorial participation in Australia's response to globalisation. - Reproduced.  aFederalism - Australia  aGlobalization - Australia  aGlobalization  aAustralian Journal of Public Administration
