Cultural Sovereignty in Civilizational Dialogue between East and West
This panel discussion is devoted to the question of cultural sovereignty, which has repeatedly been a stumbling block in relations between West and East. Participants will discuss what role the concept of cultural sovereignty has played at different stages of human history, and what is meant by it today, in a multipolar world. Is a compromise between universalist ideas and traditional cultures attainable? What does the loss of cultural sovereignty entail, and what lessons can be drawn from the relevant examples?
