John Ikenberry: Does the Liberal International Order have a Future?
Professor G. John Ikenberry, the Albert G. Milbank Professor of Politics and International Affairs at Princeton University, is the world’s leading scholar of liberal internationalism. Professor Ikenberry has been a Visiting Professor and Visiting Fellow at Balliol and All Souls. He is the author of eight books, mostly recently A World Safe for Democracy: Liberal Internationalism and the Crises of Global Order (Yale 2020). His book, After Victory: Institutions, Strategic Restraint, and the Rebuilding of Order after Major Wars (Princeton, 2001), is a must read for anyone interested in international politics and history, as well as an essential reading for the International Relations MPhil degree at the University of Oxford. He has also authored 130 journal articles, essays, and book chapters.

Join Professor Ikenberry and the Oxford International Relations Society for a discussion on the West, East and South and the competition to shape global order. How will the three worlds—represented by the United States and Europe, China and Russia, and the grouping of non-western developing nations—shape struggles over rules and institutions for the coming decades ahead? More importantly, will the support and cooperation of the global South tilt the balance towards the West’s or the East’s favor? The event features a Q&A from the audience, as well as discussions on ongoing conflicts and crises in Ukraine, the Middle East, and the Taiwan Strait.
