Key Event

One of the key events in this series is “The Institut de hautes études internationales and Neoliberalism: Historical Perspectives” taking place on 21 May at 16:00. This event will explore how Geneva’s Institut universitaire de hautes études internationales (now the Geneva Graduate Institute) contributed to the development of neoliberalism, from the 1930s and the emergence of the “Geneva School” to the post–World War II road to Mont-Pélerin. It will also examine how this history fits into the broader trajectories of neoliberalism, helping us understand the connection between the globalism of the League of Nations and the birth of neoliberalism.

Other recent events that underscore the Institute's impact over the past decades include “Penser avec Marcel Mauss: Le religieux et le politique - En hommage à Gilbert Rist (1938-2023)”, “La Suisse et l’Union européenne,” and “Launch of the Fondation Abi-Saab pour le droit international et la justice sociale”.
