Friends! We would like to invite all of you to join our Global South Webinar Series featuring important scholars in the International Relations (IR) world.
This session will feature Dr. Pascal Lottaz, leading researcher in Neutrality studies as the speaker, and Dr. S Munirah Alatas, another important thinker in Global IR and Higher Education, as the discussant.
๐๐ฏ๐๐ซ๐ฏ๐ข๐๐ฐ: Neutrality in international relations is often assumed to be a passive Western concept. However, the underlying logic of third-parties distancing themselves from the conflicts of others is neither Western in origin nor passive statecraft. From Kautilya's political treatises in ancient India to the nonalignment movement's deliberate rejection of Cold War bloc politics, non-Western traditions have long grappled with the same fundamental predicaments: how to remain outside the conflicts of others without surrendering political agency.
This talk disentangles the historically Western layers of neutralityโits legal codification and European institutional formโfrom the universal social dynamic that underpins all neutral-belligerent relationships, arguing that nonalignment represents not a deviation but its most consequential global expression with very important implications for the multipolar future.
Date : Monday, 25th May 2026
Time : 2.00 PM KL/Singapore | 3.00 PM Kyoto | 7.00 AM Istanbul | 11.30 AM Delhi
