The world in which Australia finds itself
This episode explores the origins of the world system and the key concepts which policy-makers and scholars use to explain its nature, and the forces which shape it, control change and produce conflict. Australia as a nation state belongs to this system and its policymakers and scholars use these historically derived terms and ideas to make sense of the world and to explain the government’s actions.
