Sonderreihe USA #2: World Order(s) – Which Ones and How Many?

Will we possibly wake up to a new world order in the morning of 06
November? Can the outcome of a presidential election, can a single
politician ‘make’ or significantly influence world order? The
answer is simply: “it depends”. And it particularly depends on what
one understands under the term “world order”, and the
understandings of history and relevant periodizations that come
along with this. The presentation will argue that the complexity of
contemporary ‘world order’ can only adequately be grasped if one
accounts for a co-existing plurality of ordering principles and the
different time horizons that come along with this plurality.
