Plan Outline

NOTE: THIS PLAN IS ONLY FOR STUDENTS COMMENCING 2009 ONWARDS.

Globalisation has emerged as a defining trend of the early twenty-first century. This program addresses the main themes and debates that relate to globalisation. It locates this process in relation to world history, international relations, international political economy, global development and large-scale social change. Questions about the rising levels of inequality world-wide, the environment, the changing role of nation-states and the nation-state system, the relationship between globalisation and transnational corporations (TNCs), the growing power of international institutions and organisations, and the significance of technological change will be examined. The relationship between globalisation and national identity will also be explored as will the wider social and cultural significance of recent international changes.

The Bachelor of International Studies in Globalisation Studies requires the completion of a sequence of courses in Globalisation Studies and a core sequence of courses in International Studies, together with an approved overseas program undertaken during the third or fourth year of study. There is scope in the degree for students to study a language in depth.
