Catalonia declares independence from Spain. Northern Italian regions vote on increasing autonomy from Rome. And these are just the latest secessionist and independence movements making news in Europe. We’ve invited a panel of experts to learn more about nationalism and secessionism and potential implications for the European Union. Join our panel of experts to learn more. In-person or remote participation in this virtual roundtable is possible, and audience questions are encouraged.
