Subject Description
Major theoretical traditions examined include realism,
liberalism, neo-realism and neo-liberalism, rationalism,
Marxist and neo-Marxist variants, critical theory, post-
modernism, constructivism, and feminism. The subject
then examines the end of the Cold War, the demise of
bipolarity, the emergence of unipolarism, and assesses

Assessment Information
Assessment
The Faculty of Law, Humanities and the Arts reserves the right
to scale marks in accordance with the
University’s Assessment Guidelines - Scaling. Marks are not
final until declared by the Faculty Assessment
Committee.
Referencing
Referencing is an essential component of academic writing or
presentation since it enables the reader to follow
up the source of ideas and information presented in your work,
and to examine the interpretation you place on
the material discovered in your research. Reliable referencing
clearly indicates where you have drawn your own
conclusions from the evidence presented. Importantly, much of
the material you will use is covered by copyright

which means that you must acknowledge any source of
information, including books, journals, newsprint,
images and the internet.
It is obligatory for students to reference all sources used in their
written work including electronic material.
Students should consult the University library website for a
detailed explanation and examples of how to
reference electronic material correctly:
http://www.library.uow.edu.au/resourcesbytopic/UOW026621.ht
ml
Different programs use different referencing styles to reflect the
needs of their discipline. It is the student’s
responsibility to check which referencing style is used.
Clear examples of how to reference correctly, across a wide
variety of source materials, can be found on the
UOW Library website:
• Library Resources - Referencing and Citing

Academic Integrity and Plagiarism Policy

The University’s Academic Integrity and Plagiarism Policy,
Faculty Handbooks and subject guides clearly set out
the University’s expectation that students submit only their own
original work for assessment and avoid
plagiarising the work of others or cheating. Re-using any of
your own work (either in part or in full) which you
have submitted previously for assessment is not permitted
without appropriate acknowledgement. Plagiarism
can be detected and has led to students being expelled from the
University.
The use by students of any website that provides access to
essays or other assessment items (sometimes
marketed as ‘resources’), is extremely unwise. Students who
provide an assessment item (or provide access to
an assessment item) to others, either directly or indirectly (for
example by uploading an assessment item to a
website) are considered by the university to be intentionally or
recklessly helping other students to cheat. This is
considered academic misconduct and students place themselves
at risk of being expelled from the University
Students should refer to:
• Student Conduct Rules
http://www.uow.edu.au/about/policy/UOW058723.html
• Academic Integrity and Plagiarism Policy
Submission, Receipt & Collection of Assessment Tasks
Assessments are to be submitted on the due dates and via the
submission method specified in each assessment
task listed in this Subject Outline. Penalties apply for late

submission.
Submission of Assessment Tasks
Unless otherwise indicated in this Subject Outline, written
assessments must be submitted through LHA
Central in building 19, room 1050, by 4pm on the due date.
All assessments submitted must have attached an individualised
cover sheet with a bar code. Instructions on
how to create and submit the cover sheet can be found at the
Faculty’s webpage:
http://lha.uow.edu.au/current-students/UOW154553.html
If an extension is not granted, any assessment lodged after 4pm
on the due date will be considered late and will
incur late penalties (see ‘late submission’ section below).
Receipt of Assessment Tasks
At LHA Central 19, assessments submitted with an
individualised cover sheet and barcode will automatically
receive an electronic receipt as evidence of submission; this
receipt will be issued to your University email
account.
Please note that you will need to print the cover sheet on a laser
printer (use the library or computer lab printers
if necessary) because ink jet printers may not print to the
quality needed to make the barcode readable by the
scanners.
It is the responsibility of the student to keep a copy of all work
submitted for assessment to the Faculty.
In the case where a student submits an assessment that does not
incorporate an automated electronic receipt
as evidence of submission, the student may request a paper

receipt as proof.
Assessment task submission via post, fax or e-mail
Assessments submitted via post, fax or e-mail will only be
accepted with the written prior approval from the
subject’s coordinator.
As a general rule, assessments will not be accepted or marked if
submitted by fax except in special cases where
the Subject Coordinator has given prior approval. Students that
are given prior approval to submit an
http://lha.uow.edu.au/current-students/UOW154553.html
assessment via fax must have the relevant coversheet attached
and clearly address the fax to the Subject
Coordinator via fax number 02 4221 5341.
Students that are given prior approval to submit an assessment
via email must have the relevant coversheet
attached with the assessment and email the Subject Coordinator
directly and copy the LHA Central email lha-
[email protected]
Students that are given prior approval to submit an assessment,
with the relevant coversheet attached, via
Australia Post must use registered mail – this will ensure that
there is an official receipt of mailing the
assessment on the due date. Students must retain the evidence
of posting the assessment.

The envelope should be addressed to:
The subject coordinator or tutor’s name,
Faculty of Law, Humanities and the Arts
University of Wollongong,
Northfields Avenue, NSW 2522
Collection of Assessment
The University’s Code of Practice Teaching and Assessment
requires that at least one assessment be assessed
and returned before Week 9 of session.
Assessments submitted during session will be returned to you
by your lecturer or tutor. LHA Central does not
hold any assessments during session.
Assessments submitted at the end of session will be held at
LHA Central 19 up until the end of Week 3 of the
following session. After this time, assessments will be returned
to the respective Subject Coordinator.
Late Submission of Assessments
In the absence of an approved request for Academic
Consideration (see the General Advice Guide for
information about, and links to, the Academic Consideration
Policy) in the form of an extension, assessment
tasks must be submitted by 4pm (unless otherwise specified in
the Assessment Task information) on the due
date. Late work (i.e. any work required for assessment that has
not been given an extension) will be subject to a
10% penalty per calendar day. The penalty is applied to the
mark awarded. Work submitted after seven
calendar days will not be marked and will be given a mark of 0.

An assessment task that is submitted after 4pm on any day will
be deemed to have been submitted on the next
working day. Penalties accrue on each day that the assessment
task is late, including Saturdays, Sundays and
public holidays.
For assessments that are required to be submitted in hard copy
via LHA Central in building 19, submission must
be made by 4pm on weekdays to be recorded as submitted on
that day.
Only with the written prior approval from the subject’s
coordinator, students may submit their assessment
on a Saturday, Sunday or public holiday in electronic format via
email to the Subject Coordinator’s email
address. This is on the condition that they submit the hard copy
of this assessment task by 4pm on the next
working day with a completed statutory declaration (in the form
available at
http://www.uow.edu.au/content/groups/public/@web/@gov/docu
ments/doc/uow060608.pdf)
to the effect that they confirm that the electronic and hard
copies of the assessment are identical in all material
respects. Where this is done, the submission date will be
deemed to be that of the electronic submission for
purposes of calculation of the late penalty.
In the absence of an extension having been granted pursuant to
the Academic Consideration Policy, work
submitted beyond seven (7) days of the due date will be
accepted only if submission of that assessment is
necessary to pass the subject but a mark of ‘zero’ will be
recorded.

http://www.uow.edu.au/content/groups/public/@web/@gov/docu
ments/doc/uow060608.pdf
Electronic Submission of Assessments
Where assessments must be submitted electronically (i.e.
through an eLearning site) the procedures for doing
so will be in accordance with the Code of Practice — Teaching
and Assessment, and specified in each
assessment task listed in this Subject Outline. It is important
that students retain receipts of materials
submitted electronically.
Retention of Assessments
Assessment work (with the exception of theses) will be retained
at least until the end of the academic appeal
period. The appeal period is 21 days after distribution of marks
or release of final grades. For further information
please refer to Academic Grievance Policy - Coursework &
Honours Students on the UOW website.
• Academic Grievance Policy - Coursework and Honours
Students
Theses submitted or completed by students for the purposes of
assessment or evaluation will be retained for a
minimum of 3 years after date of submission. For further

Tutorial Guide
The questions listed below are intended to suggest possible
lines of enquiry and argument in oral presentations,
not to define or exhaust the issues relevant to the topics under
consideration.
The tutorial on each topic will be held in the next scheduled
teaching week after the lecture.
All students will be expected to have completed, at least, the
Basic Reading in preparing for each tutorial. You
are also strongly advised to consult at least some of the
Recommended Reading and to conduct further
research of your own. The lists of Recommended Readings are
rather long in order to help students find titles of
particular relevance to their interests and needs, and facilitate

Library access by dispersing demand for
individual titles. If in doubt, you are invited to consult your
tutor in deciding what to choose from the lists below
or in identifying other reading.

Tutorial Week 8: Social Constructivism, Feminism, Critical
Theory, Post-Structuralism,
and Postcolonialism

Tutorial Questions:
What role does feminism play in International Relations and
how influential has it been?
Social Constructivism is the “newcomer” in International
Relations theory. What is its contribution(s) to our
understanding of International Relations today?
Should analysts simply describe or analyse the assumptions and
behaviour of key actors in international
relations? What role do ideas and / or imagination play? How
relevant are moral judgments in explaining
international relations?
Do all theories of international relations embody values or
political purpose(s)? What role does / should critical
judgment play in analysing and explaining international
relations? Do sex or gender really matter? and, if so,
how?
Why have the theories discussed in this tutorial arisen? How do
they resemble / differ from other theories?
What do they add to other approaches towards the study and
understanding of international relations?
