Second Online Summer School on Comparative Regionalism: The Future of Regionalism After the COVID-19 Pandemic

30 May 2022 to 03 June 2022
Summer School

Objectives

The global Covid-19 pandemic set forth concurrent debates on the future of global and international order(s), and  amplified existing socio-economic, political and geopolitical tensions in the world. These debates, accelerated by the global pandemic, acquire even more urgency and importance in the context of the war in Ukraine. Given the nature of these challenges, regionalism takes a central position in the debates. Such pressing issues as the reinvention of the role of states and regional organizations, acceleration of geopolitical reordering of the world politics, or debates around the topic of return to new Cold War necessitate closer attention to the important role, potential and future of regionalism in the in post-COVID-19 world. This online summer school brings together an excellent group of scholars of regionalism from different countries and backgrounds to discuss the future of regionalism in post-pandemic world order.

Participants will be introduced to major cases and main theoretical and methodological frameworks used in comparative regionalism studies, in particular issue of regionalism after COVID-19.
