Rethinking the World Order:
International Law and International Relations at the End of the First World War
Oxford, 31 August – 1 September 2017 (Apply by 31 March 2017)
The horrors of the Great War and the desire for peace shaped scholarship in International Law and International Relations (IR) during the late 1910s—a stimulating time for both disciplines. Scholars observed and analysed political events as they unfolded but also took an active part, as governmental advisors or diplomatic officials, in devising the new international order. The Paris Peace Conference and the subsequent birth of the League of Nations as well as the Permanent Court of International Justice served as testing grounds for new legal and political concepts. The end of the First World War was in many ways a milestone for both disciplines, prompting scholars to reflect on the consequences of the war on society, politics, and the world economy. How could another world war be avoided in the future? How could states be held accountable for violations of international law? What were the preconditions for peaceful international governance? These questions led to pioneering research on issues such as arbitration, sanctions, revision of treaties, supra-national governance, disarmament, self-determination, migration, and the protection of minorities. At the same time, the study of International Law and IR also advanced in terms of methodology and teaching, including new professorships, journals, conferences and research centres.
A century later, it is a good moment to reflect upon disciplinary histories and revisit some of the theoretical and practical debates that shaped the period from 1914 to 1945. The workshop conveners are particularly (but not exclusively) interested in the following research questions:
Was the First World War a watershed moment for the development of International Law and IR?
Which were the key debates in both disciplines? And how can they be re-interpreted today?
What were the connections and/or dividing lines between the two disciplines?
Did International Law and IR evolve similarly across different countries?
Who were the principle actors, both individuals and institutions, in the respective fields?
Which role did International Law and IR respectively play in shaping ‘real-world’ policy? And to what extent were theoretical developments shaped by political events?
How did ideas float between academia and politics?
How successful were non-governmental organisations—such as academic societies, arbitration clubs, political pressure groups, League of Nations clubs, the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), etc.—in achieving their goals?
The two-day interdisciplinary workshop will be held at the European Studies Centre (ESC) at St Antony’s College, Oxford from 31 August to 1 September 2017. We invite abstracts from early career researchers and advanced postgraduate students in history, law, IR and other related disciplines to share their research in a multi-disciplinary environment. By facilitating this exchange we hope to open new avenues of research and to encourage new approaches to the history of both disciplines. We are planning to have six panels, one keynote address, and an open plenary session that allows all participants to pitch their research projects.
Please submit your proposal (including a title, 300 words abstract, and a short bio) to jan.stoeckmann@new.ox.ac.uk by 31 March 2017. Successful applicants will be notified by 30 April 2017. We are currently working on logistical details, including reimbursements and publication plans, and will keep you updated.

The convenors are Dr Gabriela Frei, British Academy Postdoctoral Research Fellow and Junior Research Fellow in History Jesus College, Oxford, and Jan Stöckmann, DPhil Candidate in History New College, Oxford.

Mercosul aos 20 anos - simposio em Oxford
WORKSHOP ON MERCOSUR AT 20: UNIVERSITY OF OXFORD:
“Mercosur At 20: Politics and Economics in the Southern
Cone,” St Antony’s College, Oxford, 11th March 2011
**************************************
Convenors: Timothy J. Power and Diego Sánchez-Ancochea
Sponsored by the Brazilian Studies Programme
www.brazil.ox.ac.uk
Twenty years ago, on 26th March 1991, Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay and Uruguay signed the Treaty of Asunción, constituting the Common Market of the South (Mercosur or Mercosul). Despite uneven
growth and frequent setbacks, Mercosul has become the most ambitious integration attempt in the region, deepening economic interactions between the member countries and influencing the political agenda in the Southern Cone and beyond.
The twentieth anniversary of the Treaty constitutes an excellent opportunity to evaluate the evolution of Mercosur from a multidisciplinary perspective and discuss its central challenges.
Speakers will explore the political evolution of the agreement, its economic impact and the way it has contributed to shape the region’s external agenda. The changes that each of the four founding countries has experienced will constitute the background to these discussions.
Confirmed speakers include Gian Luca Gardini (University of Bath), Malamud (University of Lisbon), Jeffrey Cason (Middlebury College). Evaluating Mercosur at 20, Germán Ríos (Corporación Andina de Fomento and St Antony’s College), Carlos Quenan (IHEAL, University of Paris III, Sorbonne Nouvelle), Laura Gómez-Mera (University of Miami), Mahrukh Doctor (University of Hull), Valpy FitzGerald (University of Oxford), Peter Lambert (University of Bath), Francisco Panizza (LSE), Celia Szusterman (University of Westminster), Andrew Hurrell (University of Oxford), Anthony W. Pereira (King’s College, London), Alfredo Valladão (Chaire Mercosur, Sciences-Po Paris), and Laurence Whitehead (University of Oxford).
