SUMMARY:The Life and Death of States: Author Meets Readers
DESCRIPTION:The Life and Death of States: Author Meets Readers\nIn-person event \nNatasha Wheatley’s bold new book The Life and Death of States: Central Europe and the Transformation of Modern Sovereignty (Princeton University Press 2023) rediscovers the multinational Habsburg polity as a hothouse for ideas that still shape our understanding of the sovereign state. The radical mismatch between theories of singular sovereignty and the empire’s plural\, layered legal order pushed politicians as well as scholars like Hans Kelsen toward bold new conceptions of the state and the nature of law. The book follows a recurring set of questions about the juridical birth\, death\, and survival of states through the creative experiments of Austro-Hungarian constitutional order and into the domain of international law following the empire’s collapse in 1918. These ideas would echo around the globe in the era of global decolonization that followed the Second World War\, suggesting new ways of understanding Central Europe in the world. \nAbout the speakers\n\nNatasha Wheatley is an historian of modern European and international history\, with broad interests in intellectual and legal history\, Central Europe\, and the history of international law. She was a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Sydney before joining the Princeton faculty as an assistant professor in 2017.

She recently co-edited The Cambridge Legal History of Australia (Cambridge UP\, 2022). Her current project\, on emergency in the British Empire is funded by an Australian Research Council Future Fellowship.\nProfessor Lea Ypi is Professor in Political Theory at the London School of Economics and Political Science and an Honorary Professor in Philosophy at the Australian National University. A native of Albania\, she has degrees in Philosophy and in Literature from the University of Rome La Sapienza\, a PhD from the European University Institute and was a Post-Doctoral Prize Research Fellow at Nuffield College\, Oxford University.

SUMMARY:Julius Stone Address: What is political progress?
DESCRIPTION:Julius Stone Address: What is political progress?\nIn-person event\n  \nProgress is both a necessary and a dangerous idea. It is necessary if one is striving to improve the way things are\, and it is dangerous because the pursuit of progress has historically often given rise to episodes of paternalism\, colonial domination and narratives of civilizational superiority. In my talk\, I will present some first thoughts on how to defend a more critical account of progress. I will start by distinguishing between moral and political progress\, then explore the relation between political progress and justice. I will suggest that we make political progress not when we approximate an ideal of justice that is always already known to us\, but when the political institutions we construct reflect what we learn from the trials and failures of the past. \nAbout the speaker\nProfessor Lea Ypi \nLea Ypi is Professor in Political Theory at the London School of Economics and Political Science and an Honorary Professor in Philosophy at the Australian National University. A native of Albania\, she has degrees in Philosophy and in Literature from the University of Rome La Sapienza\, a PhD from the European University Institute and was a Post-Doctoral Prize Research Fellow at Nuffield College\, Oxford University.
