Creating a Concept: ‘Friendship’ in International Relations
This talk will reflect on Dr Berenskötter attempts to form and advance a new (reading of a) concept in the field of International Relations, namely that of ‘friendship’. He will outline his motivations to engage on this journey and discuss the approach he developed, or came to adopt, where and how he found support for this undertaking, as well as the challenges and rewards as he experienced them.

Paradoxes of leadership in European foreign policy
Leadership is widely regarded as a critical factor for the European Union’s ability to act cohesively and effectively as global actor. The siren call for leadership is most often heard when Europe is facing one of its perennial crises, but which actor has the ability to shoulder this responsibility and how? Half a century after Henry Kissinger quipped, ‘who do I call, when I want to call Europe?’, there still seems to be no authoritative person or institution who can speak on behalf of Europe. In this talk, I discuss why European leadership is contested in EU foreign policy.
