The Monroe Doctrine has been interpreted in diverse ways in multiple academic disciplines. At the Doctrine’s bicentennial, an interdisciplinary dialogue on its multiple forms and their legal, political and social entanglements is particularly necessary due to the renewed discursive topicality of the doctrine. This symposium will bring leading scholars from all relevant disciplines from the Americas, Europe and Oceania together to debate these issues.

The Everchanging Monroe Doctrine and its Entanglements

The Monroe Doctrine has been interpreted in diverse ways in multiple academic disciplines—as a legal principle, as a claim to a geopolitical sphere of influence, or as an expression of a distinct hemispheric identity, among others.

At the Doctrine’s bicentennial, an interdisciplinary dialogue on its multiple forms and their legal, political and social entanglements is particularly necessary—due to the renewed discursive topicality of the doctrine, for example, in the context of the activities of extra-hemispheric powers in Latin America, or of Russian demands for a sphere of influence in Eastern Europe.

This symposium, organized by Thomas Fischer and Jochen Kleinschmidt of the KU's Center for Latin American Studies (ZILAS) and supported by a grant from Volkswagen Foundation, will bring leading scholars from all relevant disciplines from the Americas, Europe and Oceania together to debate these and other connected issues.

These discussions will impact not only on future academic debates on the Monroe Doctrine, but on macro-spatializations in world politics in general (North-South, East-West, and others), which is crucial at a time when these are undergoing drastic and multi-contextual transformations.
