Globalization and offshoring of software (original) (raw)

The paper explores the dynamics of globalization and the offshoring of software development, focusing on India and Australia as case studies. It discusses historical regulatory frameworks that have influenced offshoring practices, particularly in India, where liberalization in the 1990s facilitated a growth in the software export sector. The paper also contrasts these policies with Australian approaches to offshoring, highlighting debates around labor protections and the economic implications of free trade.
