In March 2026, the Center for War Studies published the collective policy brief Geopolitics of AI Governance: Actors, Norms, and Trends, edited by Anna Nadibaidze (Center for War Studies, SDU) and Justinas Lingevicius (Vilnius University).
This brief brings together a new generation of International Relations scholars who analyse the rapidly evolving complexity of actors, norms, and trends related to AI governance, broadly defined. It features thematic, conceptual, and geographical diversity, making it a timely addition to ongoing efforts in developing a comprehensive understanding of the spectrum of actors, policies, and tensions related to AI governance.
The collective policy brief includes seven contributions that are based on research presented and discussed at the Early Career Workshop “Geopolitics of AI Governance: Actors, Norms and Trends”, which took place on 25-26 August 2025 in Bologna, Italy as part of the 18th Pan-European Conference on International Relations hosted by the European International Studies Association (EISA).
