2. Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences Life Impact | The University of Adelaide What is International Studies? The aim is to make sense of the world –of political division, economic and cultural globalisation, environmental change, war and peace. The approach is inter-disciplinary –in our teaching and research we use methods, techniques and insights from politics, history, law, economics, philosophy, sociology, psychology, geography, etc. Our objectives are to equip students with both a broad understanding of the workings of international politics and economics, but with transferable skills in analysing and explaining complex social phenomena. Slide 1 Jackson Pollock: Blue Poles (1952)

3. Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences Life Impact | The University of Adelaide Analysing and Explaining International Studies asks questions about past and future trends: How will the rise of China affect our region and the world? What response can we expect from the United States? How ought Australia to conduct its own foreign policy? We dont offer answers to these questions, but give our students the methods, skills and insights to find their own answers … to engage in critical thinking. Slide 2
