Abstract

The chapter analyzes in detail the successful reform of the Australian model. Just as in Sweden, it took Australia 25–30 years to change a largely failing model. The process can be divided into several stages: financial deregulation and a series of structural reforms; from a banana republic to a new narrative; debt reduction and continued reforms creating a new model; and, finally, the reform process coming to a halt.
Many actors, using all three reform strategies, were involved. Policy entrepreneurs introduced new ideas, beliefs, and values. Both Labor and Liberal-National governments played important roles. The process of sustained liberalization was largely incremental and pragmatic, even though Kuhnian strategies played a crucial role in setting the direction of the process.

My understanding of the process is based, apart from the references given in text, on the interviews made in Australia in the end of 2011, all listed at the end of the chapter.

This section is partly based on Goldfinch (2000), who did a series of 93 interviews with institutional elites in Australia, based on questionnaires with standardized questions, regarding their views of the most important contributors to the ideas that influenced the economic policy changes 1983–1993. My other sources include my own interviews and other literature on the topic.
