 aker series hosts Dr. Elham Gharji (Carleton University) for a lecture titl
 ed\, "Regionalizing International Society: the English School Theory and In
 ternational Politics in Eurasia."</h3><p><strong>Abstract </strong></p><p>A
 fter being neglected for years\, the English School Theory (EST) of IR is m
 aking a comeback to re-claim its central position in the IR theory spectrum
 . From emerging new literature to dedicated panels on the EST in major IR c
 onferences lately\, scholarly interest in the EST is just growing. A key an
 alytical development in the EST in recent years is the concept of ‘regional
  international societies’ as opposed to the singular concept of ‘internatio
 nal society’. The concept allows us to think of international societies in 
 plural form\, paying attention to regional peculiarities and variations in 
 constituting norms of international order(s) across different regions of th
 e world. As such\, it offers new ways of thinking about order in the age of
  multi-polarity\, regionalization and competing visions for global governan
 ce amid declining liberal international order. Looking at Central Asia/post
 -Soviet space as a case\, this lecture interrogates the concept of regional
  international societies and its analytical and empirical promise.</p><p><s
 trong>Bio</strong></p><p>Dr. Elham Gharji received his PhD with distinction
  (Magna Cum Laude) in International Politics and Conflict Resolution from t
 he University of Coimbra in Portugal in 2021. Elham has taught subjects in 
 IR and Central Asian politics in Afghanistan and has guest-lectured at vari
 ous universities in Europe and North America. He has been a Davis Center fe
 llow at the Davis Center for Russian and Eurasian Studies at Harvard Univer
 sity\, and a Visiting Fellow at the Center on Governance at the University 
 of Ottawa\, among others. He is currently based at Carleton University\, re
 searching and coordinating the research component of an IDRC-funded collabo
 rative project involving Carleton U and UBC\, and supporting at-risk schola
 rs\, activists and students from Afghanistan.</p><p>Please RSVP below to at
