WiSe 21/22: Worldmaking from the margins: how peripheral actors shape and contest global order
Tobias Berger
Comments
Analyses on the emergence and transformation of international orders have predominantly focussed on the role of powerful actors, whether in terms of “The Expansion of International Society”, superpower rivalry during the Cold War, neoliberal globalization, or the more recent focus on so-called “rising powers”. These accounts have neglected the ways in which marginal actors both contest and shape international orders. This research seminar (Projektkurs) critically engages with a growing literature on worldmaking from the margins. Theoretically, it draws on recent scholarship on worldmaking and world ordering in International Relations (e.g. Getachew, Edmunds and Bueger, Adler). Empirically, it focusses on the historical emergence and transformation of international orders from the nineteenth century until today. Methodologically, it focusses on interpretative approaches in Political Science and International Relations. The course consists of two Sections, the first of which also consists of two parts. In part 1, we focus on selected analyses of processes of worldmaking from the margins and the ways in which these processes are theorized. Part 2 introduces students to basic issues of research design and qualitative methodologies. In Section II of the seminar, students will present and discuss outlines of their research papers (Projektkursarbeiten). Research papers have to focus on the core themes of the Seminar. close
