It does so by surveying similarities with and differences from the North American democratic model and by examining Australia's substantial and abiding interests in the Asia-Pacific region. By the end of the course, students will be aware of the importance of geographical distance and location in the Australian story. Students will also be aware of the continuing importance of cultural and political inheritance in the development of Australian public and foreign policy. Students will be encouraged to make comparisons with the US system of government and politics.
