Ontological (In)Security in International Relations: Examples from Europe: invited speaker at the University of Florida Center for European Studies webinar

Beskrivelse

Join the Center for European Studies for an engaging and though-provoking webinar featuring Dr. Maria Mälksoo and Dr. Jennifer Mitzen, two leading voices in the field of international relations, as they delve into their pioneering research on ontological insecurity. This session will explore how states navigate threats not only to their physical survival but to their sense of self. Dr. Mitzen will discuss the foundational concept of ontological security and its implications for understanding persistent conflicts and identity-driven foreign policy. Dr. Mälksoo will buld on this framework by examining how historical narratives, memory politics, and post-colonial legacies shape the insecurities of states, particularly in the post-Soviet and Eastern European regions. Expect a rich conversation that bridges theory and real-world application, offering new insights into how identity and existential concerns influence global politics.
