This track explores the pluralization of global politics in security, diplomatic and economic affairs considering both systemic pressures (great power competition, resource scarcity, security crises) and regionally embedded dynamics. It understands “pluralization” in terms of a) agency across multiple scales; b) the contestation and transformation of normative orders; as well as c) the analysis of these phenomena across various theoretical strands.
The track welcomes both theoretical and applied contributions that foreground multiple regional perspectives and proceed from the recognition that understanding contemporary global politics requires a plurality of conceptual, empirical and methodological lenses. In doing so, it complements region-specific tracks by offering a cross-regional perspective on how global transformations are evolving across diverse political, economic, security and diplomatic settings.
