Traditional conceptions of democracy are being challenged by deep-structural changes in the expectations attached to government and politics, as the old co-ordinates (of right- and left-wing politics) are replaced by others, and as government is Europeanised and globalised. Europeans, as the originators of such conceptions, have a special responsibility to respond to this challenge.



Chair:

Catherine Barnard (Jean Monnet Chair of European Law, Cambridge University)

Speakers:

Philip Allott (Professor of International Public Law, Cambridge University; formerly Legal Counsellor, Foreign & Commonwealth Office)


Jack Lang  (formerly Minister of Culture, formerly Minister of National Education, France)


Lord  (Richard) Wilson (Master, Emmanuel College, Cambridge;  formerly Secretary of the Cabinet and Head of the Home Civil Service)

All welcome.
