To celebrate the  research and scholarship produced by Macquarie University's Politics and International Relations staff, a multiple book launch was hosted by the Faculty of Arts Dean, Professor Martina Möllering, this evening at the  University Co-op Bookshop.

In the past few years, the academic staff  and Higher Degree Research students of Politics and International Relations  discipline have published nine monographs and edited volumes. Their topics  include:

  • the politics of African and South American countries

  • Middle Eastern literature

  • European intellectual history

  • theories of international relations

  • international relations of the EU, Russia and USA

  • comparative studies of secession

  • recent politics of education in Australia.


This varied  list of topics highlights the wide range of research interests of the staff  from the Department of Modern History, Politics and International Relations.  The books' international publishers, such as Cambridge University Press,  Routledge and Polity, testify to the recognition that their authors gained in  the international community of scholars.
