The Fate of the State in the 20th Century

Come join us at 5pm this Thursday February 9th in
STIT B6 to
hear history professor Vanessa Ogle consider questions such
as, "Is
the world evolving toward a global civil society, and perhaps
toward global
government? Is the state becoming irrelevant in an evermore
interconnected
world of global flows of capital, goods, labor, and ideas?" This
pertinent
talk explores the strange fate of the state in the history of
20th century international
relations by looking at examples like the United Nations,
transnational Human
Rights norms, the European Union on the one hand, and
religious/ethnic
nationalism, migration control, and border fortification on the
other. SIR
looks forward to seeing you then!
