Politics
Politics is a field of study that focuses upon the way in which people live in association, addressing in particular the institutions, practices and cultural meanings of public and private expressions of power. It examines basic questions about the nature of politics and communities, and how they are organised. The politics discipline takes an analytical-critical rather than simply descriptive approach to the area attempting to explain why and how things happen politically. Areas of specialisation include global politics, social and political theory, and contemporary political cultures. Research strengths include: international relations theory; globalism and nationalism; foreign policy studies, strategic studies, development studies; social, political and cultural theory; gender studies; democracy and the state; Australian politics, governance and public policy; and politics of South-East Asia, East Asia, Russia and Europe.
