The Resurgence of Great Power Politics

Recent years have seen a revival of great power politics with states shifting from more of a cooperative stance to an increasingly competitive posture. Internally this has been accompanied by a rise in nationalism and a shift towards autocracy. This dynamic harkens back to a century ago when Great Power competition culminated in the outbreak of the First World War. This workshop will examine current relations between states in various hotspots around the globe and contextualize them in light of their historical roots and contemporary dynamics. It also will consider the implications of this revived interstate competition for universal ideals and movements like human rights.
