Panel Abstract:
The panel explores diverse ways of exploring the role of power and rules in the International System. Our panel of distinguished scholars represents a wide range of theoretical and conceptual perspectives sometimes conflictual but often complimentary. The panel will discuss what constitutes power in international relations, how implicit and explicit areas of normative and institutional processes impact international interactions; what is the relationship between power, legitimacy and authority in the lights of recent political events; whose interests are not represented and how and under what conditions can rules change.
 
Panel Participants:
