Subject Description | In the lead up to the centenary of Federation, there has been a great deal of debate about the status of Australia's nationhood and national identity. This subject will examine these debates yet with a sensitivity to the wider issues involved, including: what it means to be an Australian citizen in the 1990s; the shifting patterns of employment and new forms of social integration; the changing role of the state; and the impact of globalisation on Australian politics and society more generally. Drawing on various approaches to political analysis, the underlying puzzle to be explored is: whither the Australian nation in the era of globalisation? |
Assessment | Written work of 4000 words. |
