Invitation to "What does Britain owe Europe?" - London, The Royal Institution, 10 March 2016, 7.30 pm
Dear Marilyn,
The United Kingdom’s planned referendum on whether to remain in Europe raises fundamental questions about allegiances—especially in a world in which we’re expected to be good local and global citizens at the same time. What, if anything, do the British owe Europe—and what does it mean to belong in Europe today?
As regions from Scotland to Catalonia have sought both local sovereignty and greater connection to Europe, what sort of special deals or concessions should one political entity be able to negotiate as a condition of joining or remaining in larger unions? And how can today’s citizens best balance different loyalties—to hometowns, to countries, to neighbors, and to the world at large—when so many problems and issues cross different borders in different ways? University of Edinburgh political scientist Laura Cram, longtime German and European Parliament member Gerald Häfner, and London School of Economics legal scholar Damian Chalmers visit Zócalo to untangle conflicting allegiances and discuss the meaning of Europe in a confusing time.Democracy International and Zócalo Public Square cordially invite to this discussion on Britain's relationship with the EU ahead of UK's In/ Out membership referendum and its implications for EU democracy.
The event will take place in London on 10 March 2016 (7.30 pm), and will be moderated by Sewell Chan, International News Editor, The New York Times.
