Speaker(s): Dr Serena Ferente, Dr Carmen Pavel, Professor David Runciman | The Brexit debate saw a revival in talk of โ€˜sovereigntyโ€™. But what exactly is it, and why is it so highly prized? What are its essential features and what are its limits? In a globalized world, is sovereignty something modern states can achieve? We will explore this elusive concept, and ask whether it is still a useful concept in the twenty-first century. Serena Ferente is Senior Lecturer in Medieval European History, KCL. Carmen Pavel is Lecturer in International Politics, Kingโ€™s College London. David Runciman is Professor of Politics, University of Cambridge. Sarah Fine (@DrSJFine) is a Fellow in The Forum and a Senior Lecturer in Philosophy, Kingโ€™s College London. The Forum for European Philosophy (@ForumPhilosophy) is an educational charity that organises a full and varied programme of philosophy and interdisciplinary events in the UK.
