'How to Study Global IR?' Roundtable: Can the Study of IR be De-centred?

Much work has been done to pluralize and relativize the study of IR, but where does this agenda go next?

IR scholars now question a mainstream that is often unaware of the deeply western-centric character of its assumed historical narratives, its allegedly universal theoretical categories, and its political preoccupations. Convened by Professor Andrew Hurrell, this wo...

Power and Order, Peace and War: lessons for Asia from 1914-1918

How might a new regional order in Asia look, and how could it be built? War was not inevitable in Europe in 1914, and it is not inevitable in Asia today. But war happened in Europe because the Europeans failed to conceive a new international order to reflect radical shifts in the distribution of wealth and power. And war will become more likely in Asia if regional powers fail in the same way to imagine a new regional order which fits the fast-changing realities of power there. How might such a n...
