Pathways from disorder to order: where history meets theory

• Department of History

An international workshop on the place of the 19th century in the long history of international or global ordering.

In many ways, the order that we still live in emerged from the disorder of the 19th century. What conditions made that possible? We will be revisiting this period from a global perspective.

This international workshop is the second workshop of the project ‘Pathways from Disorder to Order: Where History Meets Theory’, a two-year interdisciplinary project funded by the British Academy Knowledge Frontiers funding stream and led by Dr. Ayse Zarakol (University of Cambridge), with a team that includes from the EUI, Professor Glenda Sluga. The project brings IR scholars and global historians together (along with other historical social sciences where possible) to think about how and when order re-emerges from prolonged periods of disorder. At this workshop, an illustrious list of historical and international relations scholars will discuss what they can learn from each other, and how they can move forward our contemporary conversations about the crisis in the international order.

More information on the workshop programme will be available after March 15.
