2333 This program aims to introduce students to International Relations, initially via the broad historical and intellectual framework which has framed the modern world of states since the 17th century. It will then concentrate on International Relations in the 20th century, the age of World Wars and the Cold War, before finally addressing issues of the present age, the age of global political economy, global culture and communication, global environmental concerns and post-Cold war political conflict, including the 'War on Terror'. The BA (International Relations) program has been established to cater for the interests of students seeking both a broad scholarly understanding of the way the world works, and/or for those preparing for a variety of employment options related to international careers in government, business, non-government organisations, media and international agencies. It is intended that you will be required to complete a compulsory major in International Relations plus either a language major or International Communication major. The language or International Communication major can be either an Asian or a European language. Additional courses can also be selected to cover a variety of issues related to international economics and business, the society and politics of important regions (eg the Asia/Pacific, the European Union, the Americas) and the history and cultures of many of the world's peoples. The Australian National University is recognised for its leadership in the field of International Relations and has a number of staff that have undertaken extensive research in this area. The degree is available at pass level (3 years) with an intended Honours degree (4 years).
