International issues
Globalisation means every part of the public sector is affected by international issues. International development, trade, foreign affairs, and security and border issues have clear global focuses. Tourism, defence, cyber crime, laws and regulations, economic growth, education and many large projects have international aspects, and frequently involve working with international partners.
