Join the second webinar of our Shifting Paradigms Series!

The webinar will delve into the roots and global rise of right-wing and far-right movements, examining their diverse manifestations across regions and their impact on democratic institutions, international cooperation, and the evolving world order. Experts will examine the weakening of the rules-based international order and the potential impact of a U.S. retreat from the Atlantic alliance, alongside the growing personalization of foreign policy that sidesteps international norms and institutions.

The “Shifting Paradigms” series addresses the complex and evolving landscape of international relations, focusing on how global power structures are changing and what that means for stability, security, and cooperation worldwide. The discussions bring together experts in political science, economics, international relations, history, and security studies to present a multidisciplinary perspective on the topic.
