Ongoing challenges to international law and the role of international organizations raise pressing questions about the stability and future of the global order. Recent policy choices by the United States have contributed to a visible erosion of the international system as it has been known in recent decades, with significant implications for the concept and practice of sovereignty. These transformations affect states’ political and economic strategies at national, regional, and international levels. In this evolving context, Europe and Asia occupy a pivotal position. Actors across these regions have developed diverse strategies of resistance, adaptation, and accommodation in response to changes in global governance, power distributions, and normative frameworks. These strategies
are shaped by distinct historical experiences, institutional settings, and geopolitical constraints, yet they also reflect converging concerns regarding autonomy, security, and economic resilience. The aim of this track is to explore how European and Asian actors respond to the changing global order, examining both comparative and region-specific dynamics. Contributions may address state and non-state actors, regional organisations, and cross-regional interactions. In this context, the term “Asia” is used in its broadest sense, including the SWANA region.
