For the past two decades, democratic backsliding and the rise of autocratic governments has continued to cast doubt on the sustainability of the international order designed to address global challenges. As these movements become potential trends in global politics, fundamental global values such as the principles of multilateralism, cooperative security, and rules-based international institutions have come under significant pressure. In such context, the field of International Relations faces an important task to reconsider its classical approaches and identify new ways to advance research in response to these emerging challenges. The International Relations track at IPSA invites panel and paper submissions that explore the impact of polarization on international orders, as well as the implications of the rise of autocracies for the international and global system. The track aims to address these critical questions and further our understanding of the evolving dynamics in international relations.
