Sovereignty in the 21st Century

at the Kellogg Center, International Affairs Building, 15th Floor

Columbia University, New York, 1-2 December 2005

In association with Columbia University’s Department of Political Science, the School of International and Public Affairs, the Council for European Studies, the Institute for the Study of Europe, the Center on Global Legal Problems, and the Columbia Political Science Students Association, SAID is convening a two day conference that will include panel discussions on topics such as state-building, US foreign policy, cosmopolitanism, global civil society, and the European Union. Confirmed speakers at this conference include Prof Michael Doyle (Columbia University), Prof Jean Cohen (Columbia University), Prof Jack Snyder (Columbia University), Prof James Der Derian (Brown University), Prof Andrew Arato (New School University), Prof David Kennedy (Harvard Law School), Prof Nadia Urbinati (Columbia University), Prof Simon Critchley (New School University), and Prof David Chandler (University of Wesminster).

This conference will be the ‘sister conference’ to a SAID conference at Oxford University on 29 October 2005. Many people claim that there is a divide between the British and American wings of the discipline of International Relations. These two ‘sister conferences’ are designed to help bridge this divide, by facilitating discussion and debate between the British and American scholarly communities.
