<p></p>
<p>On Tuesday, March 12th 2024, the University of St Andrews hosts a launch event for the second edition of the Handbook on Global Constitutionalism, edited by Professor Antony F. Lang and Professor Antje Wiener PhD. The event will start at 5:15 PM at School I, St Salvador’s Quad, North Street, St Andrews, and features Dr Adam Bower, Professor Jo Shaw, Dr Ruth Houghton and Dr Jan Wilkens as speakers, as well as Professor Antony F. Lang as moderator. </p>
<p>The revised Handbook presents an up-to-date political and philosophical history of global constitutionalism. By exploring the constitutional-like qualities of international affairs, it provides key insights into the evolving world order.</p>
<p>Through a sustained examination of current events, as well as an acknowledgement of the significance of early constitutional history, this erudite Handbook brings together contributions from world-leading academics. New chapters offer timely commentaries on important developments in methodology such as postcolonial and feminist approaches. By providing additional scope for analysis, this updated edition further emphasises the central message of the first: that the global order cannot be understood without a clear comprehension of constitutional theory.</p>
<p>The Handbook on Global Constitutionalism will act as an essential resource for scholars and academics of law, politics and human rights. Due to its comprehensive examination of vital concepts such as legal theory, it will additionally be beneficial for practitioners and policy makers. More information on event can be found on the website of the University of St Andrews, more information on the Handbook can be found on the publishers website. </p>

<p>The CLICCS case study reports on the experience of managing the multidisciplinary Climate, Climatic Change and Society Excellence Cluster, which was launched in 2019 with German Research Council (DFG) funding for an initial period of seven years. CLICCS is hosted at the Universität Hamburg and led by three principal investigators from different disciplines. It brings together researchers from universities and affiliated science institutions within a German city-state. About 230 researchers are grouped in three thematic research units, each composed of various subsections: A Sensitivity and variability in the climate system; B Climate-related dynamics of social systems; C Sustainable adaption scenarios. The author of the case study co-chairs section B2 and co-leads chapters of the cross-cutting Hamburg climate futures outlook project. The case study describes the research aims, objectives and organisation of the CLICCS programme, focussing on the research accomplished during the first two years of funding; and reporting on key insights and lessons learnt.</p>

The place beside Israel. That’s what we mean by saying: Israel’s security is German Staatsräson”1), Chancellor Olaf Scholz emphasised in the German Bundestag, confirming “full solidarity with the people of Israel” and emphasising “that Germany stands unwaveringly on Israel’s side.“ As this public claim leads beyond solidarity, which other states have also expressed in light of the Hamas atrocities, many wonder what – if anything – the Chancellor’s reference to the norm actually means beyond uttering moral support?</p>
<p>In her blog post for Verfassungsblog (‘constitution blog’), an academic blog on constitutional law, Prof. Antje Wiener PhD explores what the norm of ‘Staatsräson’ might mean, and invites to a dialogue on the meanings-in-use of it.

<p>"On Global Learning: Pragmatic Constructivism, International Practice and the Challenge of Global Governance"</p>
<p>Abstract:</p>
<p>Global security, climate and health challenges have all created a deep-seated unease about international society's capacity to cope with change. International Relations should help practitioners develop appropriate responses, but Jason Ralph argues that IR would be better positioned to do so if it drew more explicitly on the insights of classical Pragmatism. By bringing this tradition in from the margins, Ralph comprehensively engages norm, practice, realist and global IR theory to extend the 'new constructivist' research agenda in a normative direction. He develops a 'Pragmatic Constructivist' approach to assess how well communities of practice facilitate the learning that mitigates emergent social problems and improves lived experiences. This normative assessment focuses on the extent to which communities of practice are characterized by inclusive reflexivity and deliberative practical judgment. These two tests are then applied to critique existing communities of practice, including the UN Security Council, the UNFCCC and the WHO.</p>

On the 20th and 21st September 2023, Prof. Antje Wiener PhD visited the University of Southern Denmark in Odense and presented the paper ‘Norm Contestation as a Social Theory’. A workshop on norms and normativity with members of the International Politics section at SDU and a joint dinner rounded up the visit.</p>
<p>In her presentation, Antje Wiener highlighted key insights of norm contestation: If a norm lies in the practice, and practice is always norm-generative, the repertoire of practices that count towards norm change seems vast in global society. When studying normative change, therefore, the question of Whose Practices Count is key. To include the agency of the many in the constitution and contestation of international order I propose following the quod omnes tangit principle (i.e., what touches all must be approved by all). Read against this principle, the legitimacy of order depends on the conditions for engagement of those touched by this order’s norms. While these conditions are rarely equal, in a global context the imbalance of equal access to contestation of the rules and norms that govern a society increases with scale. Therefore, in an effort to identify and address causes of global inequality, we need to take better account of culturally diverse agents that act under plural conditions of engagement at different local sites in global society.</p>

On Thursday, 27th of April, 5:30 PM- 7:30 PM (CET), five academics discuss at Hertie School. The discussion’s central question is inspired by Sir Paul Tuckers 2022 book ‘Global Discord: Values and Power in a Fractured World Order’. </p>
<p>Democracies are facing a drawn-out contest with authoritarian states that is entangling much of public policy with global security issues. In Global Discord, Paul Tucker lays out principles for a sustainable system of international cooperation, showing how democracies can deal with China and other illiberal states without sacrificing their deepest political values. Drawing on three decades as a central banker and regulator, Tucker applies these principles to the international monetary order, including the role of the US dollar, trade and investment regimes, and the financial system.</p>
<p>Combining history, economics, and political and legal philosophy, Tucker offers a new account of international relations. Rejecting intellectual traditions that go back to Hobbes, Kant and Grotius, and instead deploying ideas from Hume, Williams and modern mechanism-design economists, Tucker describes a new kind of political realism that emphasises power and interests without sidelining morality. The connecting tissue for a system of international cooperation, he writes, should be legitimacy, creating a world of concentric circles in which we cooperate more with those with whom we share the most and whom we fear the least.

After initial comments by book contributors Gunther Hellmann and Jens Steffek (editors), Christian Bueger (chapter author) and Antje Wiener (chapter author), Harry Gould and Jason Ralph will offer their reflections on the book. Q&A will follow.</p>
<p>From the book’s description: “This collection brings together leading figures in the study of International Relations to explore praxis as a perspective on international politics and law. With its focus on competent judgements, the praxis approach holds the promise to overcome the divide between knowing and acting that marks positivist International Relations theory. Building on the transdisciplinary work of Friedrich Kratochwil – and with a concluding chapter from him – this book reveals the scope, limits and blind spots of praxis theorizing. For anyone involved in international politics, this is an important contribution to the reconciliation of theory and practice and an inspiration for future research.”</p>

<p>Wieners remarks are based on a new study on climate futures (presented to the public at a first press conference on 1st February 2023). In this study an interdisciplinary group of 63 researchers systematically assessed to what extent social changes are already underway – while also analyzing certain physical processes frequently discussed as tipping points. The finding is that limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius is currently not plausible. It thus cautions against both optimism and dramatic conclusions. Thus, the study includes progress of climate policy as including external disruptive events such as COVID and the Ukraine crisis. The participating team of interdisciplinary researchers systematically assessed to what extent social changes are already underway – while also analyzing certain physical processes frequently discussed as tipping points. The key conclusion is that social change is essential to meeting the temperature targets set in Paris. But what has been achieved to date is insufficient. Accordingly, climate adaptation will also have to be approached from a new angle.

Prof. Wiener on Societal Agency and Climate Change<p>Chaired by Professor Ole Petersen, Cardiff Hub Director, the webinar in November 2022 was co-organised between the Academia Europae Cardiff Knowledge Hub and Academia Europaea’s Environmental Taskforce. A panel of four members of Academia Europaea (MAEs) considered whether pathways to avert dangerous climate change should focus on changing systems or influencing mindsets. Antje Wiener spoke about Societal Agency and Climate Change, and how there are ‘no quick fixes’. The talk is based on Wiener’s work at the Cluster of Excellence “Climate, Climatic Change, and Society” (CLICCS) at Universität Hamburg and Norm Contestation, also applied in the Contestation of the Liberal Scrip (SCRIPTS) Cluster of Freie Universität Berlin. </p>
<p>The panel of experts was comprised of:</p>
Professor Karen O’Brien, Professor of Human Geography. University of Oslo; Co-Chair of UNESCO’s Intergovernmental Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystems Services (IPBES) Transformative Change Assessment
Professor Nebojsa Nakicenovic, Emeritus Scholar at the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA) and Professor at TU Wien; Deputy-Chair of the Group of Chief Scientific Advisors to the European Commission
Professor Antje Wiener, Professor of Political Science & Global Governance, University of Hamburg
Professor Matthias Karmasin, Director of the Institute for Comparative Media and Communication Studies (CMC) of the Austrian Academy of Sciences and the University of Klagenfurt
<p>The consensus within the expert panel is that it is both. Climate change is a global and complex problem, requiring multidisciplinary and multi-societal solutions. The panel considered a range of issues, such as beliefs and values, media and communications, trust in science, and technological innovation.

The Hamburg Climate Futures Outlook adresses the question: Is it plausible that the world will reach deep decarbonization by 2050? The authors of the study examine plausibility for climate futures from a technical-economic perspective, but also with regard to the societal changes necessary for such a future. They conclude that deep decarbonization by 2050 is currently not plausible – the current efforts to bring about societal transformation need to be far more ambitious.</p>
