BA in Political Science in Canberra Australia | The Australian National University

Political Science examines power dynamics, governance systems, and authority structures within human societies. It explores both existing political systems and ideal models of governance, analyzing political actions by individuals and groups across all cultures. The field investigates power distribution, studying both those who wield political influence and those without it.

As a diverse academic discipline, Political Science encompasses multiple specialized areas. The program's core curriculum familiarizes students with fundamental theories and analytical approaches while covering four primary domains:

Political philosophy and theoretical frameworks,
Australian political institutions and policy-making processes
Cross-national political analysis and policy comparisons, including regional studies, and
Global politics and international affairs.
