THE PROSPECTS FOR COOPERATION IN A DISENTANGLING WORLD
24. Nov
The Leuphana Center for Cooperative Security invites to a discussion.
In an increasingly disentangling international society marked by growing geopolitical rivalry, competing visions of order, weakening consensus around established norms and tensions within its institutional framework, what future awaits cooperation? What forms of international cooperation remain possible under such conditions?
Leuphana Center for Cooperative Security invites you to discuss these questions on November 24 2026 from 16:15 to 17:45 at Leuphana University, at the main building in Room C40.606. Everybody is welcome, there is no registration required.
Recent developments have raised concerns about the disentanglement of international society through the emergence of increasingly differentiated, overlapping and sometimes rival legal, political and security arrangements. These circumstances raise questions about how order and cooperation can be sustained amid contestation over the institutions and normative foundations of international society.
Drawing on insights from areas such as armament dynamics, global justice and international security, English School scholars Dennis R. Schmidt (Durham University) and Laust Schouenborg (Roskilde University) will discuss the causes and consequences of this transformation in a conversation with Dr. Başak Naz Şimşek (Leuphana University) explore how international cooperation is being reshaped.
