INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY RESEARCH CLUSTER
Welcome to the International Society Research Cluster, a Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences funded collaborative research group. ‘International Society’ is a concept coined in the twentieth century in the context of the rise of international organizations, networks, and ideologies. While international society supposed a world of states, it has come to suggest a more transformative conception of the international, as a sphere in which transnational networks, practices, and institutions are fundamentally altering the ways in which global politics might work. As a group of social scientists and historians we are working with the idea of international society to engage a range of intellectual and scholarly research questions pertinent to the contemporary world. These include the past, present and future of global civil society, the international public sphere, international institutions, globalism, and internationalism.
