EUI book presentation and AGMOW project discussions
Delighted to have shared my book (OUP2025) at the School of Transnational Governance at the invitation of . I am exceptionally grateful to both Trine as Chair, and as my discussant; as well as to the meticulous organisation of the event by the STG staff and of course, to the audience and their thought-provoking questions, always. The AGMOW project, focusing on is more topical than ever before: it looks at the crisis of the Liberal International Order, and the disruption of the Global Rules-Based Order, and the emergence of other alternatives. Above all, the project drills into how orders emerge and are situated, at the sameness and diversity; and this is where resilience-governance, premised on societal agency (or Community of Relations) becomes to play a decisive role, for orders to be resilient, and sustainable, in a crisis-prone world. Watch the space, for Special Forums in relation to AGMOW, and new discussions - to be continued!

The London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) Department of International Relations, in collaboration with the European Foreign Policy Unit, hosted Professor Elena Korosteleva鈥檚 latest book launch, Complexity and Community in International Relations: Nurturing Resilience in Central Eurasia.
The event centered on Professor Korosteleva鈥檚 innovative research, which challenges traditional "top-down" policy approaches to resilience. By examining communities across Belarus, Ukraine, the South Caucasus, and Central Asia, the book revealed how social memory, centuries-old traditions, and deep-rooted cultural ideas serve as vital lifelines in the face of poverty, climate emergencies, and the ravages of war. "Rather than treating resilience as a mere policy tool, this study reframes it as a complex, communal process of identity and political agency," says Korosteleva. "It offers a lesson for all social and political actors globally as we navigate the uncertainties of the Anthropocene."
The panel was chaired by Prof. Federica Bicchi (LSE) and discussants included:
- David Chandler: Professor of International Relations at the University of Westminster and Editor of the journal Anthropocenes.
- Emilian Kavalski: Professor of International Relations at Tampere University, Finland
- Teona Giuashvili: DINAM Fellow at the LSE Department of International Relations and former Georgian diplomat.
The discussion was recorded as a podcast, and the link will be available shortly for further information.
Professor Korosteleva was invited to give a keynote, and contribute to an ECR session at the Lithuanian Annual Conference on Resilience, Vilnius 3-5 December 2025
