Pathways for Global IR: A Debate

As CFPPR and Bilkent IR, we hosted a thought-provoking debate on “Pathways for Global IR,” featuring Prof. Ayşe Zarakol and Prof. Ersel Aydınlı, with moderation by Asst. Prof. Seçkin Köstem.

The debate explored alternative pathways to Global International Relations (IR), examining its definition, potential directions, and the advantages and disadvantages of integration, incorporation, and revolution. Additionally, it considered the roles of various actors and venues in advancing Global IR, the impact of language on scholarship, and the challenges faced in acknowledging the Global South  perspectives within the global discourse.
