About the TalkHow did Germans imagine global order after the Second World War -- in the event that they won? This is an alternate future that has been widely discussed in counterfactual fiction and film. But it was also an outcome that many German intellectuals actually envisaged between 1939 and 1945.In this talk, Prof. Derman will share insights from his current book (in progress) about German theorists who challenged the liberal international order. Between the 1890s and 1940s, they argued that global capitalism and governance were doomed to fail. The only sustainable form of international order, they claimed, was a world divided into blocs or “great spaces,” as they called them, each led by a great power. Their visions of a "de-globalized" world order underlay many aspects of Nazi propaganda and diplomacy. They have persisted, in many surprising ways, up to today. Registration: https://lbcube.hkust.edu.hk/ce/event/10635 About the SpeakerProf. Joshua Derman is an Associate Professor in the Division of Humanities at HKUST. He received his Ph.D. in modern European history from Princeton University, and his A.B. in philosophy from Harvard University. Prior to joining HKUST, he was a Max Weber Postdoctoral Fellow at the European University Institute in Florence, Italy.Professor Dermans research focuses on modern German history, and, in particular, the international dimensions of German political and social thought. His current research projects investigate the intellectual history of Nazi Germany.He has recently taught courses on European and world history, fascism and totalitarianism, geopolitics, the theory and practice of prediction, and the social theory of capitalism.
