DESCRIPTION:Public Administration and International Affairs Department Spri
 ng Seminar Series\, Featuring Michael Williams\, associate professor and d
 irector of master of arts in international relations.&nbsp\;Professor Will
 iams will discuss the struggle for international order is usually studied 
 within international relations dominant systemic theories as driven by con
 flict amongst the great powers. The English School follows this path to so
 me extent\, but offers an understanding of order formed through collaborat
 ion\, rather than just conflict. Applying the school’s theoretical lens of
 fers a better placement to situate the role of revolutions in internationa
 l order making. This paper argues that rather international order is not j
 ust predicated on concentrations of state power\, but also on revolutions 
 that need to be understood not simply as isolated\, domestic events but ra
 ther as transnational phenomena that have impact far beyond the borders of
  the state where they occur. The historical record is rich with examples o
 f the interplay between revolutions\, states and order making\, with the b
 est contemporary example of this being Russia’s war against Ukraine. This 
 paper argues that Russia intervention is best understood not as a push bac
 k against NATO expansion\, but as a counter-revolutionary intervention to 
 stem the demonstration effect of liberal democracy on Russia’s internal po
 lity\, as well as a repudiation of Europe’s emergent post-modern political
  order.
