Re-imagining International Relations - A conversation with Amitav Acharya
Taking as a starting point that today’s multilateralism is in urgent need of an upgrade, Library & Archives Director, Francesco Pisano talks with Professor Amitav Acharya about how Global International Relations could broaden the Eurocentric way concepts and ideas in international relations developed, so that the practice of international relations could transform to be better adapted to the pluralistic world in which we live.
Amitav Acharya is the UNESCO Chair in Transnational Challenges and Governance and Distinguished Professor at the School of International Service, American University, Washington, DC. Previously he was a Professor at York University, Toronto and the University of Bristol, U.K. He is currently Honorary Professor at Rhodes University, South Africa, and Guest Professor at Nankai University, China. He was the inaugural Boeing Company Chair in International Relations at the Schwarzman Scholars Program at Tsinghua University, Fellow of Harvard’s Asia Center and John F. Kennedy School of Government, and Christensen Fellow at Oxford.
Amitav Acharya is also the recipient of an International Studies Association (ISA) Distinguished Scholar Award 2023 for his “extraordinary impact” in globalizing the study of International Relations and “mentorship of emerging scholars”.
