Teaching Commitment

MGX5300 Governance (a core unit in the Master of Public Policy and Management)

Synopsis (2011): This unit challenges students to think through the issues that shape how communities are governed in Australia and elsewhere. Students of Australian and foreign backgrounds share their experiences in all spheres of government, the non-profit sector and the private sectors. It examines the basis of democratic society, how political systems work, and the relationships between politicians and public servants. It covers ethics and accountability, including the role of the media, and the importance of civil society -- non-government networks and activity -- in the operation of a community's governance.
