Devolution and Secession in the Modern World

International & National Security Law Practice Group Teleforum

On the eve of the British referendum to remain in the European Union, Phillip Booth of the Institute of Economic Affairs and Ilya Somin of George Mason University Law School will discuss broader issues of devolution and secession, such as the extent to which secession should be allowed from various political systems and whether or not a right to it should be institutionalized. He will also take a closer look at the possibility of a British exit, and what that would mean for the European Union and Britain as a whole.

Featuring:

• Prof. Philip Booth, Editorial and Programme Director at the Institute of Economic Affairs and Professor of Insurance and Risk Management at Cass Business School
• Prof. Ilya Somin, Professor of Law, George Mason University School of Law
