Australia's Relations with the Asia Pacific

Are you curious about international relations in the Asia Pacific region? This subject enables you to study the region in a wide variety of contexts. In Module 1, you will examine the region in a historic context and explore various theoretical approaches. Module 2 leads you through the key players in the region, including China, Japan, Taiwan, North Korea, South Korea, Southeast Asian states, US, Australia and New Zealand. You will also examine traditional security concerns, such as North Korea nuclear issues and the territorial disputes about the East and South China Sea.

International Relations of the Asia Pacific

This subject introduces students to fundamental principles in international environmental law and examines certain important issues in this area at the global level. More specifically, the subject will critically analyse the significant principles involved in the operation of the international legal system and how the international community, through law and policy, responds to global and regional environmental issues. A sectoral approach will then be taken by examining the application of international environmental law in certain specific areas. The main focus will be on examining the law and policy which has been applied to deal with environmental problems in an international and transboundary context. Special reference to domestic laws and initiatives will be made in evaluating the impact of international environmental obligations on natural resource management.
