About

Most observers – at least in the West – agree that the twenty-first century has been particularly tumultuous. But while some explain the volatility of our times by reference to historical analogies, e.g. moments of power transition in the twentieth century, others claim that we are in a moment of polycrisis for which there is no precedent. In this talk, Dr. Ayşe Zarakol, Professor of International Relations at the University of Cambridge, splits the difference: mainstream IR is wrong to assume the 21st century will resemble the 20th, but there are other historical precedents we can use to better theorise about our current predicament. This talk will be chaired by Dr Alex Prichard, Professor of International Political Theory and Director of Research for SPSPA.
