This lecture series explores the relationship between security, international law, and power in the 21st century. As states increasingly perceive a wide range of developments as security challenges and geopolitical power relations continue to shift, this triangular relationship calls for its rethinking. Therefore, across different fields of international law, the lecture series examines how these changes shape the development and application of international law and how international law, in turn, affects security and power.

Bringing together scholars and practitioners, the lecture series covers topics including collective and regional peace and security, peacemaking, maritime security, international criminal accountability, international trade and investment, counter-terrorism, and environmental security.

Upon completion of the lecture series, participants will have gained an understanding of how, across selected issues and fields, changing perceptions of security and shifting power relations interact with international law – as well as a sense of international law’s possibilities and limitations in responding to perceived security concerns and power.
