Timothy Snyder: The Nation-State and Europe, 1918 and 2018

A century ago, the end of the First World War ushered in an era of national self-determination, as the land empires of Europe collapsed and new nation-states took their place. Today the notion of the nation-state is resurgent in the region’s political discourse: we witness a renaissance of the rhetoric of national sovereignty in a populist backlash against the project of European integration. What lessons can we draw from the arc of the past century? What role will the idea of the nation-state play in determining Europe’s future? In this talk, Dr. Timothy Snyder joins us to give his thoughts on the above, and much more. Dr. Snyder is the Levin Professor of History at Yale University and IWM Permanent Fellow. He is the author, most recently, of, "The Road to Unfreedom," "On Tyranny: Twenty Lessons from the Twentieth Century," the critically acclaimed, "Bloodlands: Europe Between Hitler and Stalin," and, "Black Earth: The Holocaust as History and Warning." The Institute of International Relations was excited to have him speak with us, and we are just as excited to bring you video of the event in case you missed it in person.
