Abstract
Australia is in the process of transition from a client state to an emerging and exceptional rentier state because of the fundamental shift in the economy to extractive mining beginning in the 1990s. Prior to this period, transnational corporations dominated different sectors of the Australian social formation, reducing it to little more than a dependent client.
