15.11. Glenda Sluga (European University Institut, Florence):

The Invention of International Order.

The modern world takes for granted the idea of an international order, but even the possibility of international politics had to be invented. In this talk I argue that by asking, what kind of ordering was embedded in the invention of the politics between states two hundred years ago?, we stand to learn more about the practices and assumptions that still temper the international order today, for better and for worse.
