In this Masterclass, prof. Glenda Sluga will present her upcoming book Inventing an International Order after the Napoleonic Wars (Princeton University Press). Participants will receive two chapters that will be discussed with prof. Sluga. A selection of PhD students and other scholars will be given an opportunity to present the way their own research relates to the work of prof. Sluga in a short position paper.
