The New Global Order: International Relations in a Multipolar World
The international system is undergoing a significant transformation as power becomes increasingly distributed among multiple global and regional actors. The shift from a predominantly unipolar order to a more multipolar world is reshaping many facets of global governance.
The New Global Order: International Relations in a Multipolar World examines these developments through the lens of international relations, strategy studies, sociology, economics, development, history, and other relevant fields. This lecture series aims to explore themes such as great-power competition, regional conflicts, international institutions, and emerging global challenges. It furthermore seeks to provide participants with the knowledge and analytical tools needed to better understand the changing dynamics of world politics in the twenty-first century.
Join us on Wednesdays at 6 PM for thought-provoking presentations, workshops, and excursions in person at the Hörsaal XV of the Main Building of the University of Bonn.

What is the Lecture Series?
The BIMUN/SINUB e.V. Lecture Series is organised by members of the executive committee of our association. We invite lecturers from different academic and professional backgrounds to share their knowledge and experiences relating to the semester's theme. We want to make current happenings in politics, international affairs, and public policy come alive for students and friends of the University of Bonn.
Time & Location:
Our weekly lecture series takes place on Wednesdays from 18:00 to 19:00 (6 to 7 p.m.) Berlin Time.
For in-person lectures, join us in Hörsaal XV at the University's Main Building (find a map of the main building here: https://t.ly/Hhmt6)
University Partnership & History:
The BIMUN Lecture Series is part of Studium Universale and a core component of the Certificate of Intercultural Competence program at the University of Bonn. Our program has been going strong since 2005 and has welcomed speakers from across Germany and around the world.
Language of Lectures:
Most of our lectures are held in English, but you will also find some German lectures based on the preference of the speakers.
We are looking forward to welcoming you at our lectures!
