MGLBLSTD05 Global studies

Global studies is an interdisciplinary area of study that brings to life the issues and events that have shaped, and continue to shape, our world. As the world globalises and states and economies become more integrated, it is important to understand how political, economic, social and cultural developments in different countries affect the world around us, whether states and communities can cooperate to address national, regional and global problems and the possibilities for a more peaceful and just global order. In global studies, you will begin by placing today's world in context; you will examine the history of the 20th century, and then move on to study the issues facing the world in the 21st century, many of which have roots in past political, economic and socio-cultural developments.
