Sonderreihe USA #2: World Order(s) – Which Ones and How Many?

Will we possibly wake up to a new world order in the morning of 06 November? Can the outcome of a presidential election, can a single politician ‘make’ or significantly influence world order? The answer is simply: “it depends”. And it particularly depends on what one understands under the term “world order”, and the understandings of history and relevant periodizations that come along with this. The presentation will argue that the complexity of contemporary ‘world order’ can only adequately be grasped if one accounts for a co-existing plurality of ordering principles and the different time horizons that come along with this plurality.
