Power in International Relations: Matching Empirical Uses to Theoretical Advances
Wednesday, 22 October 2025; 6.00 p.m. Feldkirchenstraße 21, Room FG1/00.06 (hybrid session)
Speaker: Professor Dr Karolina Milewicz // University of Bayreuth
Gabriele Spilker is a Chair of Global Political Economy at the University of Bayreuth and an Associate Member of the Department of Politics & International Relations, University of Oxford. Her research focuses on the role of international institutions and law in promoting international cooperation. She is also interested in issues of multilateralism, treaty making and preferential trade.
Her lecture explores the relation among different concepts and measures of power in contemporary IR. Drawing on both traditional and computational text analysis, she presents findings on how power has been used in leading IR journals over the past seventy years. The results show that while power is conceptualized in a variety of ways, its measurement remains relatively rare and limited.
