This three-week course, produced in collaboration with the BBC, will allow participants to retrace the steps of those who took momentous decisions at the Paris Peace Conference of 1919. This conference ended the Great War and designed the post-war future, redrawing the map of the world, partitioning and creating countries, and ushering in a new era of international relations. Participants will have the opportunity to assess how, over the past century, world organisations have become a forum for international cooperation, and to debate many of the issues that have vexed international politics since then. To find out more, readers can refer to Christian J. Tams’s post for the blog: “From Islamic State to Ebola: how 1919’s Paris Peace Conference still shapes world affairs.” This course is part of a series designed in partnership with the BBC to commemorate the war.
