This subject was previously known as POL237 Terrorism and Political Violence in South Asia.
This subject aims to develop a critical understanding of the nature of political and security challenges confronting the South Asian region and how these challenges impact upon global security; the relationship between politics, security and terrorism in South Asia; the appropriate counter-terrorism measures that have been taken by affected states; and the &#39;out-of-the-box&#39; solutions to security problems confronting South Asia.  While a regional perspective will be adopted, the unit will place particular emphasis on India, Pakistan, and Afghanistan.

Terrorism and Political Violence in South Asia

This subject was previously known as Asia-Pacific in the Global System.
Aims to produce a critical understanding of global affairs. This subject&#39;s major assumption is that what we see as comprising &#39;international politics&#39; is not determined exclusively by what is out there, but also by something in our own heads. It is the theories and concepts constructed by International Relations scholars that enable us to make sense of global affairs. Examines various theoretical approaches, including realism, idealism, constructivism, feminism and Marxism. Explores such issues as globalisation, development, environmentalism, and the global economy.

Chip away at the issues and relationships that define contemporary global affairs. Examine the global role of capitalism and democracy. Apply idealistic, constructivist, Marxist and feminist thinking to your research about international relations.
