Description
This subject introduces you to contemporary formulations of international relations, the global system, and related institutions. Beginning with an overview of existing approaches to globalisation and International Relations, you will examine the role of multilateral institutions in providing frameworks for global and regional governance.
Various United Nations agencies, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE), the African Union (AU), the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), and other groups have been increasingly involved in addressing non-traditional security challenges, including climate change, transnational crime, and weapons proliferation. In this subject, you will explore alternative approaches to power, globalisation, environmental diplomacy, the role of strategic and political cultures, and new ‘world order’ transitions.
