Description

The regional security environment is rapidly changing. This course examines the key elements shaping the Asia-Pacific security environment in the early 21st century. It will consider the nature and dynamics of a range of contemporary security challenges facing the region, the capacity of regional security structures to manage these challenges, and the influence of major regional powers on the evolving regional order. Particular attention is given to analyzing regional security flashpoints and to emerging non-traditional threats to security in the era of globalisation. The impact of key developments in regional security on Australia’s national interests will also be examined.
