CALL FOR PAPERS
Over the past two decades, instead of weakening, movements for ethnicity minorities
as well as for nations without a State of their own have gained in strength all over the
world. No matter the perspective we look from, this is no minor issue as it has
challenged numerous political theories and modern institutions. Some identity
conflict is covered in the media almost every day. And although these conflicts
between nations do not occur in every State, we can say they have questioned, in
some way, modern Nation States’ homogeneousness and the legitimacy of liberal
democracies’ political theories. This Conference aims precisely to look into the causes
of the current issue of nations without State, and to reflect on the possible solutions
for national diversity within the 21st century´s Worlwide system of States.
