– Please refer to Chapter 1 of Politics (Fourth Edition) Heywood, A., (2013). Palgrave Macmillan ISBN: 9780230363380. This will provide you with the definitions referred to for the essay. 3rd definition is the chosen one for the essay
– After your introductory paragraph, your analysis should have one paragraph that discusses the definition of politics that you have adopted. provide a brief paragraph that discusses that particular approach to defining the political.
– The analysis of Politics of Refugees and Border Security in Australia should remain focused within the realm of ‘Politics as Compromise and Consesus’ definition. We can however, use another country’s policy/actions to highlight or hone in its impact, either positive or negative.
– Essay should avoid any attempt to offer an exhaustive descriptive account of your chosen problem. Rather, you should remain firmly focused on developing an analysis of the politics (as you have defined it) of your problem. For example, if you choose to define politics as government then your focus would be on the analysis of what government has done to deal with the problem. You might give some consideration to explaining why government has done what it has done, or you could focus more on the roles and activities played by various social groups and organisations that have tried to influence government policy. Alternatively, you might wish to focus on the impact that government actions have had on your chosen social problem. Similarly, if you chose to define politics as compromise and consensus, your focus would be on the analysis of how conflicts associated with your chosen social problem have or have not been resolved. You might spend some time telling us about the nature of those conflicts, the various interests involved, what different groups and organisations have tried to do to resolve the conflict, what tactics they have used, as well as provide some analysis of the results of attempts to resolve the conflict.
– Essay should demonstrate an ability to use some of the key concepts that you have been introduced to this trimester to the political analysis of your chosen problem. For example, if you choose to define politics as power, you would be expected to be clear about what you mean by power, and use your definition in a consistent and clear manner. Similarly, if you use the concepts of state, or legitimacy, or authority, you would be expected to demonstrate a clear understanding of the meaning of such terms and to also apply then consistently in your analysis.
– Essay should demonstrate a capacity to locate relevant empirical material. Markers will not look favourably upon a simple reliance on a Google search.
– The AGPS Referencing system should be used. This REQUIRES pg numbers in context referencing. Attached is the reference guide.
