Syllabus

The unit will provide students with a critical understanding of the conceptual foundations of strategic studies, as well as national security. It examines the role of force in international relations, with a focus on the various domains of warfare (i.e. land, sea, air, space and cyber) and their corresponding strategic approaches. This unit also examines the various state and non-state threats to national security, including non-traditional threats and challenges such as climate change, energy security, emerging technologies and autonomous weapons systems; the Indo-Pacific’s current and evolving security landscape; and, the threats and challenges facing Australia’s national security.

Introduction

This is a capstone unit for the Graduate Program’s National Security major. It offers students a

comprehensive overview of the main conceptual issues concerning modern strategic and defence planning as well as major challenges to a state’s national security. As a core unit it feeds into specialised options, such as INTR5003 Strategic Geography.

This unit has three main themes. They are:

  • The foundations of national security and strategy will provide students with an understanding of

the fundamentals of modern national security and military strategy as well as introduce students to the main schools of strategic thought. It will also demonstrate how those aspects shape national strategic policies, defence planning and decision-making processes.

  • Fundamentals of military and security strategies will introduce students to the foundations of main traditional warfighting concepts by exploring the nature of armed struggle across all domains (i.e. land, sea, air, space and cyber) and its relevance in contemporary and future operating environments.
  • We will also explore contemporary security challenges, emerging threats and future wars, by critically examining the changing character of war, new forms of conflict, the growing strategic significance of new forms of confrontation, and how Australia and other states are positioned vis a vis their strategic outlook.

Unit Learning Outcomes

All graduates of Curtin University achieve a set of six Graduate Capabilities during their course of study. These inform an employer that, through your studies, you have acquired discipline knowledge and a range of other skills and capabilities which employers would value in a professional setting. Each unit in your course addresses the Graduate Capabilities through a clearly identified set of learning outcomes. They form a vital part in the process referred to as assurance of learning. The learning outcomes notify you of what you are expected to know, understand or be able to do in order to be successful in this unit. Each assessment for this unit is carefully designed to test your knowledge of one or more of the unit learning outcomes. On successfully completing all of the assessments you will have achieved all of these learning outcomes.

Your course has been designed so that on graduating you will have achieved all of Curtin’s Graduate Capabilities through the assurance of learning processes in each unit.

  On successful completion of this unit students can:Graduate Capabilities addressed
