Workshop and Panel Discussion: Defining Tomorrow’s Agenda: International Organizations and Post-2022 Dynamics
On 13 November, the Chair of International Integration at the Institute of Political Science (Prof. Dr. Andrea Gawrich), in collaboration with the Giessen Graduate Centre (GGS) Section International Organizations & International Law, held a workshop and panel discussion.
The workshop featured four presentations by Andreas Kruck (LMU Munich), Janne Mende (Max Planck Institute for Comparative Public Law and International Law), Michael Giesen (University of Potsdam), and Murad Nasibov (JLU Giessen), with comments provided by Falk Ostermann (Kiel University) and Anastasiya Bayok (JLU Giessen). The second part of the event—a panel discussion open to the public—facilitated a lively exchange of ideas on the future of international organisation studies in light of global power shifts, the war in Ukraine, democratic backsliding, and the contestation, crises, and challenges facing the Liberal World Order (CLIO). The discussion also addressed the implications of the recent US elections. The panel served as a platform for fostering meaningful dialogue and contributing to the development of a forward-looking research agenda. In addition to the mentioned speakers, the event was attended by members of the Institute of Political Science and the student community. The hosts—Prof. Dr Andrea Gawrich (Chair) and the Section representatives, Maraike Vandergrift and Murad Nasibov—along with the event participants, expressed their interest in organising similar events in the future.
