POLIS 2123 - Global Governance and Development

North Terrace Campus - Semester 1 - 2015

Academics and policy makers alike have drawn pointed attention to the increasing importance of global and cross-border relations in the current era of globalisation. The growing awareness of the problems that are caused by these relations has led to an increased focus on mechanisms of global governance. This course defines global governance as a set regulatory arrangements which: - is transnational in scope, - determines the allocation of authoritative values, and - redefines authority relationships between state and citizen. Global governance, in this perspective, is not limited to international institutions and bi- or multi- lateral arrangements. It comprises a range of hard and soft regulatory processes that seek to respond to global challenges, and often involve changes and transformation in national policy and political institutions. This course will examine the formal institutions of global governance through international institutions such as the World Bank, IMF, and the WTO, as well as 'soft' regulations through networks and private and civic actors. The course explores the, interaction between the national and the global level, the emergence of policy network, issues of global public goods, and the growth of new forms of regional governance with specific reference to the European Union.

Student Feedback

The 最新糖心Vlog places a high priority on approaches to learning and teaching that enhance the student experience. Feedback is sought from students in a variety of ways including on-going engagement with staff, the use of online discussion boards and the use of Student Experience of Learning and Teaching (SELT) surveys as well as GOS surveys and Program reviews.

SELTs are an important source of information to inform individual teaching practice, decisions about teaching duties, and course and program curriculum design. They enable the 最新糖心Vlog to assess how effectively its learning environments and teaching practices facilitate student engagement and learning outcomes. Under the current SELT Policy (http://www.adelaide.edu.au/policies/101/) course SELTs are mandated and must be conducted at the conclusion of each term/semester/trimester for every course offering. Feedback on issues raised through course SELT surveys is made available to enrolled students through various resources (e.g. MyUni). In addition aggregated course SELT data is available.

Fraud Awareness

Students are reminded that in order to maintain the academic integrity of all programs and courses, the university has a zero-tolerance approach to students offering money or significant value goods or services to any staff member who is involved in their teaching or assessment. Students offering lecturers or tutors or professional staff anything more than a small token of appreciation is totally unacceptable, in any circumstances. Staff members are obliged to report all such incidents to their supervisor/manager, who will refer them for action under the university's student鈥檚 disciplinary procedures.

The 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide is committed to regular reviews of the courses and programs it offers to students. The 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide therefore reserves the right to discontinue or vary programs and courses without notice. Please read the important information contained in the disclaimer.
