About the Lecture: Security threats, environmental pollution, financial crises, civil wars and human rights violations challenge nation states like never before. Historically states approached these challenges with foreign policies based on power politics. Does this strategy still work? Which new strategies, based on considerations of citizen welfare, have been developed?
