Michael Cox: "E.H. Carr and the British Origins of International Relations" (Princeton RWO)

This is a recording of the RWO's fourth World Order Colloquium at Princeton University. On March 11, 2021, we welcomed Professor Michael Cox (LSE). In his presentation, entitled "E.H. Carr, the Crisis of the Liberal Order and the British Origins of International Relations", Professor Cox presented a brief biography of Carr and articulated his vision of world politics as well as his engagement with the discipline of International Relations. This recording features the presentation and a brief Q&A with our virtual audience.

The colloquium was hosted by Professor G. John Ikenberry, Director of the RWO initiative (https://scholar.princeton.edu/gji3/home), and his research associates, Tolya Levshin (https://anatolylevshin.com) and Chika Tonooka (https://rwo.princeton.edu/people/chik....
