The congress is co-organised by the Centre for International Studies and Development (CISAD) and the the Faculty of International and Political Studies of the Jagiellonian University, along with the Polish International Studies Association (PISA), EADI, and the Global International Relations Section, ISA. The event will take place in Kraków (Poland), the home-city of our Jagiellonian University.   

The theme of this year’s congress is “Global International Relations: Challenges and Developments”. The debate on this issue is becoming an important part of international relations, and the Congress is an opportunity to discuss the origins, as well as the contemporary dimension, development and criticism of the Global IR concept. International relations theories and ideas remain strongly influenced by the Western approach. As a result, they tend to overlook experiences and relations in other parts of the world. The main aim of Global IR is to 'bring the rest' into the world of international relations, i.e. the non-Western world or the Global South. The Congress is a platform to discuss about the concept of Global IR as well as the place of the non-Western world in global politics. 

We strongly encourage all of you to propose potential panels for the Congress – panel proposals will be open until the end of March and later in April there will be a paper application call so stay tuned.
