FISA2022: The preliminary programme is published

The Seventh FISA Conference, 6–7 May 2022, Hotel Scandic Rosendahl, Tampere

The theme of the conference is Multilateralism and its Ruptures.

The final programme will be published in early 2022.

The first keynote speaker is Professor Anu Bradford who is Henry L. Moses Professor of Law and International Organization at Columbia University. Bradford coined the term the Brussels Effect to describe the European Union’s major influence on global markets. She is the author of The Brussels Effect: How the European Union Rules the World  (Oxford University Press 2020). Before joining Columbia University, Bradford was an assistant professor at the University of Chicago Law School.

The second keynote speaker is Professor Ole Wæver who is Professor of International Relations at the Department of Political Science, University of Copenhagen. Wæver is one of the main figures in the ’Copenhagen School’ in security studies. Internationally he is mostly known for coining the concept of ’securitization’ within security theory. His most recent research in relation to securitization theory has applied the theory to religion and to climate change.

Plenary: Investigating blind spots in international studies
Chair: Mikko Poutanen, Postdoctoral Researcher, Tampere University: Editor-in-chief, Politiikasta

This plenary investigates what could be considered relative blind spots in the field of international studies. Many may flash in and out of academic and political discussion, and this periodic exposure makes it difficult to grasp the modalities and intricacies of various contexts. The “blindness” can also affect imbalances of power between communities and localities: tensions of colonizer–colonized persist in public imaginaries and sometimes even in the field of IR. New approaches, such as feminist perspectives to IR, can also encounter fierce ’gatekeeping’ within the discipline. These dimensions may not attract the most intensive gaze of IR researchers, forming malleable and moving blind spots, which this plenary tries to look at more intensely. The plenary discusses global health and social policy, security studies, international organizations, and global climate policy. As a solution the plenary discusses a deeper understanding of ’the human element’, multilateralism, and interdisciplinarity.
