Networks and Ordering in World Politics

Abstract

Given multiple and interconnected crises in today’s world politics, scholars have recently begun to pay more attention to the fundamental questions of how international orders are made, re-made and unmade? This panel seeks to advance the debate on order in world politics in two respects. First, it seeks to broaden our understanding of how orders are horizontally and vertically interrelated. Second, it seeks to analyze the role that different types of (international, transnational, and transgovernmental) networks are playing in the (trans)formation and interrelation of fields.
