Sovereignty and Nationhood: Borders, Trade, and the "Reset" – Reflections on the Revolutions in Europe five years on

Where does the UK stand five years after Brexit, and how have the themes of sovereignty, independence, and nationhood evolved in international politics?

Five years after his major speech in Brussels outlining British objectives for the final stages of the Brexit negotiations, Lord Frost will assess where Britain now stands after leaving the EU. He will examine how the themes of that speech—independence, sovereignty, and nationhood—have shaped international politics and the challenges they face in becoming lasting principles on the global stage.

Reflecting on these key ideas, Lord Frost will explore their relevance in today’s political landscape and how they have evolved over time. The discussion will also address ongoing debates surrounding sovereignty and self-governance, considering their broader implications in an increasingly interconnected world.

Featured participants:

Lord David Frost, Member of the House of Lords, former diplomat, civil servant and Tory politician
John O'Sullivan, President, Danube Institute
Stefano Arroque, Visiting Fellow, Danube Institute
