Conflict and cooperation in a changing world

Recent years have seen profound political, social, and economic upheaval. These shifts present serious challenges as well as new opportunities. Existing institutions are transforming or failing by the wayside. At the same time, new areas of both competition and cooperation are emerging. This conference seeks new ways to understand and transcend current political realities across a wide range of perspectives and approaches.

Our first virtual conference in 2025 brought together around 200 attendees from 31 countries. We hope this virtual conference will continue to enable a broader international participation in BISA conferences, and will bring together scholars from the UK and across the globe in a more accessible format.
