This course examines the contemporary interface of global forces that reconfigure the organisation of power within the Pacific. An exploration of transnational processes, paradigms and conceptualisations of the local, national, regional and global impacts will be explored with a critical lens of inclusion, diversity and empowerment. Students will analyse theoretical and conceptual underpinnings of global politics, education, health, wellbeing, employment, identity and power. Key research about Pacific community engagement and the economic relations between the islands, Aotearoa and the Pacific region will be supported by the perspectives of local and national Pacific community leaders. Contemporary issues related to colonialism, migration, racism, postcolonial contexts, aid in the Pacific, security and the role of the social media will also be critically analysed.
