Episode 1 – Borderlands and the Making of Global (Dis)Order

This opening session introduces the intellectual framework of the webinar series by examining why borderlands have become central—rather than peripheral—to contemporary global security and political order. Drawing on comparative research from conflict-affected regions, the discussion explores how fragmented sovereignty, hybrid authority, and transnational connections shape patterns of violence, cooperation, and governance. By treating borderlands as spaces where order is actively negotiated and contested, the session challenges state-centric approaches and highlights why dynamics at the margins are essential for understanding regional stability and global (dis)order. Panelists: Dr. Daniel Agbiboa, Harvard University Dr. Brian Wong, University of Hong Kong Dr. Annette Idler, University of Oxford Moderator: Dr. John Helferich, University of Oxford
