grr, my school seems to be crap. but then, i knew tht already. we didnt have enough students to do international studies AND national politics or whatever so my school called it International Politics. wonderful.
and we had to do Australians foreign policy. we focusd on taiwan and china too... yay... cos its easy... cough full marks on SAC coughh....
lol
i don't understand how they could have taught you a different subject... I'm pretty sure that you have been studying International Studies.
If your exam is on the 21st it's International Studies.
If you exam is on the 15th it's National Politics.
HERE IS THE DIFFERENCE:
Int. Studies:1: Globalisation / Internationalism
2: Global Conflict / Terrorism
3: Asia / Pacific Region
4: Australian Foreign Policy
Nat. Pol.1: AUS / US Political systems
2: Continuity & Change
3: Aus Domestic Policy
4: Aus Foreign Policy
they are 2 different subjects. Although the 'foreign policy' area of study overlaps they are approached differently.
