Hey MIRS Members!
After months of vigorous hard work, it is finally over....our publication has a new issue! This is the third issue of Melbourne International Relations Review, in which undergraduate and postgraduate students are able to submit their essays and get them published.
This year's theme was...
A Divided World: Polarisation In The 21st Century
The theme is described below:
As we move further into the 21st Century, it seems the world is only becoming increasingly divided. With a seeming shift to a multipolar world order, and increasingly pronounced divides along political lines, this age presents unique challenges. Social, cultural and moral divides erecting in a fractured world. How will a shift in power paradigm impact international relations? How will international and domestic politics adapt to these challenges? Will international relations fundamentally change? How will we be able to confront this ageās challenges if we are not united? This theme provides room for exploration of how we have and will continue to face the unique problems which underpin the 21st century. Great power politics, justice and security, global dynamics, and divides along political lines are examples of issues that could be explored. Further, social, cultural and moral divides can be explored as well- in a multi-disciplinary approach.
