Multipolarity, Civilizations and Universality in International Law

Date: Monday, April 28, 2025

Time: 2-3:30 pm ET

Location: Furman Hall Room 212 and via Zoom

About the event:

The international legal order is fragmenting into multiple “geo-legal orders,” in which the interpretation and operation of international law will increasingly depend on the spheres of influence of leading states and political groupings. This raises a basic question: how will a multipolar international order work? What normative constructions will emerge to bind the new geo-legal orders together? Dr. Malcolm Jorgensen, a senior research fellow at the Max Planck Institute for Comparative Public Law and International Law, will share his current research in progress.

*This is a Hyrbid event and in-person attendance is open to the public.
