Experts’ Discussion on Global Governance: Tackling the Unresolved Question of Self-Determination in the 21st Century

The Coppieters Foundation, together with the Center for International Human Rights (CIHR) at John Jay College of Criminal Justice at City University of New York (CUNY), organises an online expert discussion on “Global Governance: Tackling the Unresolved Question of Self-Determination in the 21st Century”. It will take place online on September 17 at 17:30 CEST / 11:30 ET.

Over the past century, multilateral institutions have contributed to advancing the rights of indigenous peoples and minorities, supporting the development of international legal and normative frameworks. However, the question of self-determination remains largely unresolved. Contemporary geopolitical developments and the evolving understanding of identity, sovereignty and participation urges us to revisit this issue from both normative and policy-oriented perspectives.

This workshop will feature presentations of preliminary versions of two research papers, followed by a discussion and open exchange with participants.

• Welcoming words by Antonia Luciani, Coppieters Foundation President
• Contending Self-Determination Claims in the Human Rights Universe by George Andreopoulos, Professor of Political Science, John Jay College of Criminal Justice and at the Graduate Center (CUNY) and founding Director of the Center for International Human Rights, John Jay College
• Self-determination and the Problem of the Democratic Self by Lluís Pérez-Lozano, Adjunct professor on political theory, Universitat Pompeu Fabra

Discussant Steve Rosow, Emeritus Professor of Political Science, SUNY at Oswego
