Order and Disorder in Global Intellectual History

The 2026 Annual Conference of the ISIH

For three days in İstanbul, the ISIH's annual meeting asks how political thinkers, jurists, reformers, revolutionaries, literati and religious scholars imagined and contested order in moments of rupture — across regions, languages and traditions, from early modern political thought to the contested orders of the present.
