In the past few years, the academic staff and higher degree research students of the 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 Politics and International Relations staff. 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.
