The past and future of international thinking
Join us for a discussion of international thinking, and a look at how the rise in nationalist sentiment affects international collaboration and institutions.
In an increasingly globalized world, nationalism is on the rise. International law, and international institutions, are in decline. How can scholars of history, politics, and law, help us understand the relevance of international thinking in the 21st century? In this public forum, world leading researchers in the history of international thinking speak about the work they do, and what it can tell us about the world we live in.
This event was held at the University of Sydney on Monday 23 July 2018.
