Graduate programs in international relations at Monash are designed to
enable students in politics or related disciplines to explore, at an advanced
level, the many issues raised by the rapidly changing nature of contemporary
world politics. What kind of world order, or disorder, is emerging in the
aftermath of the declaration of a 'war on terror'? How are
security issues to be understood in a fluid and international system? How is
economic globalisation affecting the sovereignty of states and the economic
policies which governments pursue at home and abroad? What is the significance
of issues such as human rights and the environment in contemporary
international politics? How far can the consideration of ethical, normative and
cultural issues contribute to the understanding of politics across state
boundaries?
The graduate coursework programs at Monash analyse these and related questions
with particular attention to relationships among major powers ,developments in
Australia's region and the principal theoretical approaches in
international relations. The programs are particularly suitable for students
interested in pursuing careers in such areas as government, diplomacy,
business, NGOs, teaching and journalism.
