This article builds on the introduction to this Special Forum and 鈥檚 original argument about the arrival of the multi-order world. It discusses the foundations of Putin鈥檚 claimed vision for a different kind of 鈥減olarity鈥, allegedly 鈥渘on-hierarchical鈥, 鈥渆qual鈥, and 鈥渟elf-regulatory鈥, but in reality deeply hegemonic and internally conformist. In this article, I argue that not only is Putin鈥檚 vision seriously misguided, but it also fails to recognise the increasing diversity within Central Eurasia. It is furthermore 鈥減ropagated鈥 by unsustainable means, including force, coercion, disinformation, and fear. I will first explore principles of order-making, focusing on its 鈥渟ofter aspects鈥—social memory, shared history/culture, and imaginaries of the good life—and relate them to 鈥渟ameness鈥 and 鈥渄iversity鈥 principles of the multi-order world, as more nuanced anticipatory governance. I apply this framework to Putin鈥檚 Eurasian order-building efforts to determine this order's resilience. Guess what my answer is?

Exceptionally grateful to and , and to the journal editors and reviewers for their helpful comments and support! To - for Open Access :), and to my fellow contributors for insightful discussions we all had as part of the project - Anticipating Governance in a Multi-Order World :).


Radical Imaginaries - Radical Transformations: Sustainability Spotlight workshop, 30 April 2026

The Radical Imaginaries-Radical Transformations (RIRT) thematic initiative, under the Sustainability Spotlight, organised the second network-building event, led by Dr Marit Hammond (PAIS), Prof. Graeme Macdonald (ECLS) and Prof. Elena Korosteleva (IGSD). It involved two panels - a 'politics'- and 'arts'-focused involving external speakers - Prof. Albena Azmanova (City), Dr Carl Death (Manchester), Dr Natalie Pollard (Exeter) and Dr Orion Maxted (VUB) - and internal speakers - Dr Nick Lawrence (ECLS), Dr Jonathan Skinner (ECLS) and Carla Washbourne (CIM). The workshop focused on the key questions around future climate and power imaginaries, to see if just and sustainable transitions are possible, and under what conditions. The workshop's aims included building a network of like-minded scholars - it was attended by over 60(!) participants - capture ideas/ways of thinking (Thank you NiftyFox!) and produce a position paper, based on roundtable discussions at the workshop (working on it!). Thank you to all who attended, and to Cher Zou, Jason Snow and Tanya Liguori for supporting this event!


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!
