Crafting a new global order? The United Nations and international politics in the 1990s
The 1990s are pivotal for understanding the mobilisation of the international system in the face of significant geopolitical upheaval and different types of global shock.

After the end of the Cold War, this decade marks the beginning of a quest for a new global order. New visions of global governance emerged, which were based on a redefinition of fundamental principles such as peace, security, sovereignty and the idea of responsibility. However, these developments were overshadowed by mass violence, ethnic cleansing, genocide and the failures of the international community to prevent them.

In his talk Professor Fabian Klose, Chair of International History and Historical Peace and Conflict Research at University of Cologne, will investigate the consequences these turbulent times had for the United Nations and how the world organisation reacted. He will explore the ambiguous role of the United Nations as a global actor responding to global shocks, in complex and often controversial circumstances.
