The Future of the International Politics and Multilateralism post Covid-19
Virtual SJTU/Sydney Workshop
Panel discussion, 29 October 2020
Time: 17:30-19:30 (Sydney Time); 14:30-16:30 (Beijing Time);
New historical scholarship shows that ‘the international’ has always been an integral and productive part of ‘the national’. Nation-states are the products of international
architectures even as national governments have created a world of international organizations. But how exactly do nation-states strategically ‘use’, performatively align,
ignore or even ‘withdraw’ from ‘the international’ and its institutions? This panel of historians and IR scholars sets out to dissect the dynamics of the national politics of multilateralism in the past and present and in view to the world post Covid-19.
