 7PM

AFKL, 15 Lorong Gurney, 54100 KL

 Free entry upon RSVP

Join us for an illuminating evening with Alexandra Novosseloff, doctor of political science and specialist in geopolitics, multilateralism, and the workings of the United Nations. Drawing on her acclaimed publications and her long-standing research into bridges, enclaves, and the political meaning of borders, Alexandra will present key insights on how territories shape international relations and the practice of diplomacy today.

The presentation will focus on her books and explore:

• The role of territorial and institutional “bridges” in global cooperation
• How enclaves and contested spaces influence multilateral decision-making
• The evolving functions of the United Nations in an era of shifting sovereignties, with a special reflection on the UN’s 80th anniversary

A conversation and audience Q&A will follow the talk — an opportunity to discuss ideas and ask questions. Suitable for anyone interested in geopolitics, international law, urban and border studies, or contemporary diplomacy.
