The TIPG 2020 will address the main issues of contemporary political geography and international relations. The Conference provides a platform for discussion and collaboration of experts in the fields of Political Geography, Geopolitics, International Relations, International Law and other related areas of inquiry. 

The Conference is a continuation of the International Conference “Topical issues of international relations in the current geopolitical context”, which has been taken place in St. Petersburg annually since 2016. 

The conference will include four panels:

Panel 1: Migration and socio-demographic processes;

Panel 2: Ideologies of regionalism and globalization in historical context. Philosophy of politics;

Panel 3: National Policies & International Politics;

Panel 4: Cultural Dimension of International Relations.

Announcements of the results of comparative studies are especially welcome.

We will keep monitoring the evolution of COVID-19. We hope that the conference will take place in St. Petersburg on time and everyone can safely make it through this global issue.
