As a transdisciplinary approach to the study of International Relations, International Political Sociology (IPS) offers alternative lenses to understand global politics and transnational relations. IPS brings insights from sociology, anthropology, geography, history, among others, in the analysis of international relations. Contemporary IPS analyses embrace ethnographic and other anthropological and sociological methodologies, and employ a range of conceptual traditions, including (but not limited to) deconstruction, Foucauldian, Bourdieusian, postcolonial and decolonial, queer and feminist, assemblage and materiality, Deleuzian, and critical race theory.

IPS Belgium is a platform for scholars to present and debate their research. It aims to create a space for discussions and to foster collaborations for anyone sharing an interest in the conceptual, ontological and methodological implications of the IPS perspective. From PhD candidates to senior scholars, all humanities and social sciences researchers are welcomed to participate in the Seminar and present their work. The IPS Belgium first seminar series started in February 2021.
