英文简介 The course, using texts and other learning resources, explores key themes and issues facing Australian as it navigates its middle power position globally and in the region.

As a settler-colonial society, Australia had to respond to its colonial legacy in relation to the Indigenous population, and as an outpost of the British Empire. Post-World War Two, Australia became an immigration nation reaching out to wider Europe and then Asia.

The course will explore Australia’s adjustment to its Asia-Pacific regional context through economic restructuring, immigration, multiculturalism, international education, and shifts in international relations.

The objective of the course is to provide students with an understanding of the cultural, social and political forces that have shaped and made contemporary Australia. Despite its relatively small population, Australia is a developed country seen as a global ‘middle power’ and a significant international relations player in the Asian region and globally. Students will be made aware of the ongoing foreign policy debates in Australia, with China as its major trading partner but the US as its strategic partner.

The course also aims to develop students’ understanding of critical research and writing methodology through written and presentation assessment exercises.

The sequence of topics to be covered may change according to teaching and scheduling needs.
