The Catalan case discussed at Reykjavík’s Institute of International Affairs

The Public Diplomacy Council of Catalonia (DIPLOCAT) and the Institute of International Affairs – Centre for Small State Studies of the University of Iceland, are holding the conference ‘New Emerging Small States in Europe? The case of Catalonia‘ in Reykjavík, on the coming Monday 20 October. DIPLOCAT argues that ‘the negative result of the Scottish referendum has not decreased the international interest around the ongoing process in Catalonia. Leading international media, as well as the academic and diplomatic spheres, are closely following current events in Catalonia’.

Raül Romeva, member of European Parliament from 2004 to 2014 and vice-president during the last legislature (2009-2014), Baldur Þórhallsson, Jean Monnet Chair and Professor of Political Science at the University of Iceland, Antoni Abad Ninet, Professor of Comparative Constitutional Law and European Constitutional Studies (CECS) of the Faculty of Law at the University of Copenhagen; and Guðmundur Hálfdánarson and Valur Ingimundarson, Professors of Contemporary History at the University of Iceland will be in board for the debate.
