The Future of National Identity and the Nation State
The modern nation-state is just two centuries old, yet today, it defines who we are. But should it? This Doha Debates Town Hall invites us to question whether national identity should be tied to territory, culture, values—or something broader and deeper. Could it be reimagined entirely outside the structures of the state?
Town hall guests:
- Dr. David Engels: historian and philosopher
- Dr. Shashi Tharoor: author, politician and former international civil servant
- Dr. Wael Hallaq: author and humanities professor
This town hall was recorded at the Bradford Literature Festival in the United Kingdom and moderated by Malika Bilal.
