Imperial Relations and Colonial Legacies in IR

Session Submission Type: Created Panel

Session Description

In recent years, scholars have increasingly called into question the assumption that international relations are best characterized by “anarchy” rather than “hierarchy.” This panel brings together authors and papers focused on imperial, hegemonic, and colonial dynamics in world politics, centering in particular around either the production or the legacy of various hierarchical arrangements across time and space from the Holy Roman Empire to early American imperialism to postcolonial legacies in Southeast Asia.
