Sovereignty or Nationalism
During this international conference the phenomenon of sovereignty and the differences between this concept and the term “nationalism” will be analyzed by philosophers, political scientists and academics from various European countries.
Special attention will be given to the preservation of local cultural heritage, minority languages and identities.
The conference will consider which of these two concepts contributes more to the promotion of peaceful and inclusive societies for sustainable development, providing access to justice for all and building effective, accountable and inclusive institutions at all levels.
