Summary
The History and International Affairs workshop is part of the Modern History Cluster activities. It promotes dialogue between historians, IR scholars, and think tanks, to explore the value of history for international affairs.
After last year’s edition on Making sense of Global (Dis)Order, this year’s workshop will focus on global order beyond the ‘West’. Can histories of the ‘international’ from non-Western viewpoints offer insights on the crisis of the so-called liberal order and provide better analytical tools to understand international relations?
The papers will explore theories of international law, debates on self-determination and post-colonial relations, projects and practices of global governance from Latin American, African, and Asian perspectives in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.
This roundtable conversation will reflect on these historical experiences to reimagine order and governance in today’s multipolar world.
The event will be hybrid, taking place in person and online. Register using the button above where you'll be given the in person and online choice.
