that drive politics at both the national and international level.
Emphasis is placed on assisting students understand the nature
of contemporary political challenges and the role of political
leadership, the media, corporate interests, public opinion and
grassroots political movements in framing and addressing
these challenges. While the focus is global, thematic and
interdisciplinary, specialist units are offered in Australian,
American and Chinese politics. This major offers students the
opportunity to build links between politics and history through
units on the rise to power of Hitler and Stalin, and America
during the Cold War. A major in politics is useful for a wide range
of careers including the public service, journalism, teaching,
