Rethinking International Relations in an Age of Uncertainty

This conference in Hong Kong invites scholars of international relations, political science, and global studies to examine how pervasive uncertainty — driven by technological disruption, geopolitical realignment, and the AI revolution — is reshaping the theory and practice of global affairs. Topics include the implications of AI for state power and strategic competition, the geopolitics of China's Belt and Road Initiative, international norms in contested technological domains, and conceptual frameworks for understanding a world in which established international order is under sustained stress. The conference seeks to stimulate innovative theoretical and empirical work on the future of international relations.
