Who are we?

The Post-Liberalism platform, hosted at the Institute for European, Russian, and Eurasian Studies (IERES) at the George Washington University, provides a space for renewed political and cultural dialogue about today’s changing world. Its goal is to transcend ideological boundaries and hear from a diverse variety of epistemic and political viewpoints.

We use post-liberalism as a placeholder for a multifaceted exploration into the crisis of liberal thought and practice and the new political imaginaries that have opened to replace liberalism or compete with its cultural hegemony. While the prefix “post-” presupposes a chronological positioning of what would come after liberalism, we include in our definition a plurality of right-wing and left-wing proposals to reframe our political and social order, as well as proposals of how to reimagine liberalism itself.
