“Re-thinking Multilateralism“

Challenges and Opportunities for New Multilateralism(s)

Widespread uncertainties in world politics have led to multilateralism once again assuming a central role in the communication of German foreign policy as well as increasingly also in academic discourse in International Relations. 


The research project "Multilateralismus weiter denken" at Goethe University Frankfurt seeks a fundamental re-construction of multilateralism as a core concept of international cooperation. At the same time it also samples out concrete instances of of multilateral coalitions, conventions and cooperation in case studies and analyses them with a view towards success factors and incentives for successful multilateral action.

The second – and first on-site – expert dialogue, titled "New Multilateralisms", of the research project "Rethinking Multilateralism" and the associated study group, took place on Thursday, September 30, 2021, and Friday, October 01, 2021, on the premises of the Schader Foundation in Darmstadt. Within the framework of the project funded by the Friede Springer Foundation, the two-day conference aimed to consider multilateralism as plural and thus reconstruct different global understandings of multilateralisms.

“Multilateralism from A - Z”

One part of the research project is a comprehensive collection of definitions, understandings and variations of the concept of multilateralism as used in academic and political practice. For this purpose, the "Glossary of Multilateralism" systematically bundles all relevant information in order to provide an overview of the state of academic research and political discussion alike.
