In person icon Rethinking the International Political System

Abstract

This panel brings together contributions that challenge conventional understandings of the global order and propose new theoretical perspectives for its transformation. Drawing on a diverse range of approaches—from Gramscian analyses of hegemony to Daoist thought, post-colonial approaches and theories of the pluriverse—the panel critically examines the liberal paradigm that underpins the international system. What unites these contributions is a shared commitment to decentralizing dominant frameworks and interrogating their assumptions. How can alternative epistemologies and conceptual tools reshape our understanding of global politics? By fostering a pluralistic and critical engagement with international political theory, this panel seeks to open new avenues for reimagining global order.
