Political Science Workshop: The Grand Split? How The World is Dividing
April 18, 2024 at 9:30 AM to 3:30 PM
| Location: | Room 3224 Richcraft Hall |
| Cost: | Free |
The condition of world politics has reached the point of a severe crisis. The system of global governance and the international order it was based on is shaking. Some would see this as a crisis of legitimacy, others as an institutional breakdown, and some as a crisis of the western hegemonic rule-based order established after World War Two.
The international system is reconfiguring, and it is likely that more challenges and conflicts are coming. The present moment is an ideal time to rethink and reconceptualize our approaches to the new environment of international relations. In this regard, we would like to create space for the Political Science faculty and MA/PhD students (and invited guests) in the form of a one-day informal workshop to share their respective views.
