See CRICOS-registered alternativesThis first year subject investigates the dynamics of Australia’s longstanding and complex relationship with the Asian region. We adopt a thematic approach while drawing on timely and relevant examples from across the region, including Japan, China, Indonesia, India, and more. The subject begins with a brief survey of Australia’s historical ties with Asia, then moves on to Australia’s contemporary regional setting. We explore Australia’s dense web of connections to Asia through personal, trade, security and cultural ties. We also consider the sources of tension that complicate the relationship, such as the threat of terrorism, rise of China, democratic rollback, and political instability, while unravelling the differences in history, culture and values that spur, at times, mutual suspicions and ambivalence about Australia’s place in Asia. We also explore efforts to improve Asia literacy and the role of migration and diasporic communities in Australian multiculturalism. The subject is delivered in StudyFlex mode and can be completed fully online .
