On 20 May, WUB Hub research fellow Dr Paul Hansbury will give a talk at the S. Rajaratnam School of International Studies, part of Nanyang Technical University in Singapore. The talk, titled 'Global Order and Multilateralism: Adaptation Beyond the State', will consider how decentred conceptualisations of global order can help to understand how we can contend with, and adapt to, the ecological and technological transformations that look set to define the 21st century. Registration details here. During his trip, Paul will also meet other Singapore-based scholars and analysts to discuss research collaboration and knowledge exchange.
