The liberal international order under pressure (Seminar)

Dozent/in: Tobias Lenz

 wöchentlich | Montag | 10:15 - 11:45 | 14.10.2024 - 31.01.2025 | C 14.202 Seminarraum

Inhalt: Pundits and scholars alike agree that the liberal international order (LIO) is in crisis, maybe even in decline. Two reasons are argued to be at the root of this crisis: power shifts towards states with less liberal visions of liberal order and the rise of populist parties that contest core tenets of liberalism within core liberal states. This English-speaking seminar will examine the "decline thesis" through an in-depth reading and discussion of seminal texts. Topics of discussion include: the nature of the LIO and its historical genesis; the current state of the LIO and the causes of its alleged decline; alternative visions of world order; contemporary struggles over world order in selected issue areas.
