About

The Princeton project on Reimagining World Order is a three-year PIIRS-funded international research community that seeks to foster debate and collaboration among a diverse range of scholars over the character and future of global order. Our goal is to enliven scholarly and public thinking about possible “future world orders” by exploring the history, politics, and theory of international order.
