About

The International Orders Research Unit is an interdisciplinary research initiative aiming to examine the sources of international order and patterns of international disorder past, present, and future.

We are faced with a world of change and disorder...

President Xi Jinping Speaks with US President Joe Biden, 2022

Its research remit includes:

  • The historical sources of international order and disorder.
  • Comparatively and critically assessing international order strategies.
  • Mapping and analysing international order preferences of states and populations.

Conducting research within this remit also aims to connect academic research expertise to practitioners and publics addressing contemporary international order challenges.

This research unit further functions to foster synergies between related research projects at LSE IDEAS, provide an umbrella for relevant taught courses, produce research grant and knowledge exchange projects, host an ‘International Orders’ public events series, research workshops and seminars, and to connect a global network of scholars working on international order and disorder.

Its calendar programme of activities includes briefings on contemporary developments in policy relevant international order topics, research seminars with invited speakers presenting research, public panels engaging public interest in academic international order expertise, and an annual stock-taking and agenda-setting research workshop.
