UPF Linköping

UPF Linköping Utrikespolitiska studentföreningen vid Linköpings Universitet
The Student Association of Foreign Affairs The association was founded in 2000.

UPF Linköping är en partipolitiskt och religiöst obunden ideell förening vid Linköpings Universitet vars syfte är att belysa och öka intresset för utrikespolitiska och andra internationella frågor. Föreningen grundades år 2000 och har sedan dess jobbat aktivt med att främja dessa frågor. Föreningen som sådan har ingen aktiv opinionsbildande funktion och tar således inte ställning i politiska frågo

r utan verkar istället som ett forum för utrikespolitik med avsikt att rymma en bred politisk uppfattning kring ämnet. Utrikespolitik som ämne är ett mycket omfattande område och föreningen jobbar aktivt med att lyfta så många aspekter från så många synvinklar av ämnet som möjligt. Föreningen är främst till för studenterna på Linköpings universitet men även anställda vid universitetet och personer utan anknytning till universitetet är välkomna att teckna medlemskap och delta på de evenemang och aktiviteter som föreningen anordnar. Exempel på de aktiviteter som föreningen anordnar är föreläsnigen, debatter, workshops och studie sociala evenemang med inriktning mot utrikespolitik.

UPF Linköping is a politically and religiously independent non-profit association, aiming to increase interest in foreign policy and global politics via lectures, workshops, and other events. UPF Linköping as an organization has no active advocacy function and takes no position in favor of any political party. The organization appears instead as a platform for debate on foreign political issues with the intention to accommodate a broad political understanding on the subject. Foreign policy as a topic is a very vast area and the association is working actively to broaden the discourse and dialogue between students and professionals in the field of international relations. Everyone is welcome to subscribe to membership on cardskipper and participate in the events and activities that the association organizes.

Global politics is not only shaped in parliaments and summits — it also appears in markets, institutions, value chains, and everyday social life. 🌍

UPF Linköping welcomes Jacob Hjortsberg, social anthropologist and postdoctoral researcher, for a lecture on globalization, governance, and the political-economic systems that shape how societies work. His research connects big international structures with concrete social realities — from labour markets and global value chains to Singapore’s model of state, economy, and control. 🎤

Join us for the lecture and stay for questions and discussion afterwards. 💬

A World in Disorder – More than four years have passed since Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, and we now see a world where Russia wants to change it in their own favour, a United States which strives to change its place in the world and a China biding its time to become the dominant world power. What will Europe’s place be in a new world? 🌍

We are very pleased to welcome Joakim Paasikivi to Linköping for an exclusive guest lecture. 🎤

With extensive experience as a Swedish military officer, former teacher in military strategy at the Swedish Defence University, and now Senior Geopolitical Advisor at Manheimer Swartling, Paasikivi brings deep expertise on one of the most urgent issues of our time. 🇪🇺
