See CRICOS-registered alternativesAntarctica and the Southern Ocean are a unique biophysical region of the planet and similarly have unique governance arrangements. This subject provides an advanced analysis of the institutions, rules and power structures which govern the Antarctic region. The subject closely examines the Antarctic Treaty System, but also other important institutions that play a governance role in the region, including the International Whaling Commission and International Association of Antarctica Tour Operators. Drawing on theories of law, governance and geopolitics, this subject explores the following thematic challenges relating to human activity in the Antarctic region: Antarctic Resources, Antarctic Science, Antarctic Infrastructure and Logistics, Strategic issues in Antarctica, Environmental Protection, and Climate Change. The subject explores the interactions between nation states, non-state actors and international organisations and the intersection of interests, rights and rules in the development of Antarctic governance institutions. Completing the subject will equip students from a wide variety of academic disciplines with the ability to view governance of Antarctica from a more holistic perspective. This will assist students to understand and critically assess the basis for international policy decisions relating to Antarctic and the Southern Ocean, a region of key national interest for Australia, and of vital importance for global ecosystems and the international political system.
