British historian Perry Anderson, Professor of History and Sociology at the University of California, Los Angeles, will give a series of 4 lectures in English as part of the Collège de France's Europe cycle, entitled The Power of Law in Europe. They will be held on October 5, 12, 19 and 26, 2022.
In 2022-2023, this cycle is devoted to the theme of Peace and Power in Europe. It is common to consider the political idea of Europe as inseparable from that of peace. This age-old project of pursuing a peaceful European (and then world) order, notably through the law, should be of interest to us at a time when the Europe-power discourse is asserting itself in a context of rebalancing of powers in the world, and security and defense issues are regularly invited into European debates, particularly in France. The cycle will host a second series of lectures on the same theme by Stella Ghervas in spring 2023.
