ABSTRACT This article discusses whether and how globalization has had a significant effect on Australia, by referencing normative concepts of good or bad, of presence or absence and whether normative truth questions can be asked. These questions are answered by employing Bhaskar’s most recent iteration of the RRREI(C) schema for explanatory analysis. Viewed generally, the essential or necessary component of globalization is the ideology of neo-liberalism from which has emerged the more radical neo-conservatism. Overall these ideologies, which underpin globalization, are having a detrimental effect economically and socially: economically because of widening wealth inequalities both in Australia and globally; and socially because of growing push for protectionism in wealthier countries like Australia. These emerging social and economic ontologically real phenomena are causing consternation and fuelling divisiveness worldwide. Nevertheless, by conducting this explanatory analysis, we were able to identify feasible interventions that would, if implemented, possibly absent the negative aspects of globalization.

全球化如何对澳大利亚产生重大影响？批判现实主义的解释性分析

摘要本文通过参考规范的好坏，存在与否以及是否可以提出规范性真相的问题，讨论全球化是否以及如何对澳大利亚产生了重大影响。这些问题可以通过使用Bhaskar的最近使用的RERREI（C）模式迭代进行解释性分析来回答。从总体上看，全球化的基本或必要组成部分是新自由主义的意识形态，新自由主义由此产生了。总体而言，这些支撑全球化的意识形态在经济和社会上均产生不利影响：在经济上，由于澳大利亚和全球财富不平等现象的扩大；在社会和社会上，由于澳大利亚等较富裕国家对保护主义的日益推动。这些新兴的社会和经济本体论上的现实现象正在引起全世界的震惊和分裂。但是，通过进行这种解释性分析，我们能够确定可行的干预措施，如果实施这些干预措施，可能会缺少全球化的负面影响。
