See CRICOS-registered alternativesThis Level 1 subject is designed to introduce you to the main actors, concepts, institutions and debates of contemporary international relations. Specifically, it will give you the foundational tool-kit to develop your knowledge and understanding of the central security challenges we face in contemporary international relations. Our aim is to give you the theoretical understanding, skills and inclination to dig beyond superficial media representations and develop a deeper and more nuanced understanding of security issues. You will first explore the historical context of international relations and the conceptual building blocks that underpin the international system, including key ideas like sovereignty and the nation-state. We then examine both traditional security issues associated with inter-state conflict and new challenges associated with human and environmental security. You'll develop a deep appreciation of how we live in an interconnected world, being able to recognize the global context of political issues, and act across cultures and boundaries in international relations. Please note: This is a Level 1 subject that includes live sessions either on-campus or online with the expectation of student attendance and participation.
