Overview
This unit is designed exclusively for PPE students. The study tour will immerse students in the political, philosophical and economic issues of a major society in the Indo-Pacific region. PPE students will meet with and learn from academics and practitioners in the fields of politics, philosophy and economics, including think tanks and non-governmental organisations. In so doing, students will analyse the causes and consequences of the changing power dynamics in Australia’s geo-political region, and comprehend the political, philosophical and economic perspectives of the host country. By the end of this study abroad, PPE students will have a comprehension of the social and economic forces shaping the coming century and the diverse ideas emerging to interpret this change.
