November 2022 Global Governance Forum – “Re-imagining Global Security and the Role of International Institutions in the 21st Century – “The nature of conflict and cooperation are changing fundamentally, as well as the understanding of what kind of adaptations in security policy would promote the wellbeing of sovereign states and the human collectivity, inclusively conceived. Particularly important is the desirability and feasibility of enhanced roles for international institutions, especially those within the UN System as framed by its Charter and evolution since 1945.”

Interpreting International Politics (ROUTLEDGE 2014)

 

 

2021 Wrestling with God Symposium at University of Notre Dame – “Wrestling with God: Ethical Precarity in Christianity and International Relations is a historically and thematically sweeping account of the role of Christian traditions in shaping the modern field of international relations. In it, Cecelia Lynch engages with the past in ways that make the arguments of previous theologians and political theorists available for thinking with in the present. By situating each of the interlocutors with whom she engages within their social and historical context, Lynch is able to show what constraints the contingencies of their day placed on their own arguments so that we might also recognize the contingency of our own claims today, and formulate ways to address them.

In this essay, Cecelia Lynch responds to each of the contributors to the symposium focusing especially on the themes of “staying with the trouble,” essentialism, and the possibilities and limits of decolonial visions for humanitarism in the future.”
