with Paul Romer, Nobel Laureate in Economic Science, 2018
and many high-level speakers: researchers, policy makers and diplomats
In many countries, voters clearly demonstrated their opposition to large waves of immigration. This situation leads to illegal immigration with its share of tragic situations.On the other hand, it is essential to guarantee the borders of nation-states. Current events show us how violating borders is a major threat to peace.What is the response to these two imperatives considered today as irreconcilable?In this lecture, Paul Romer, Nobel Laureate 2018, will present the idea of establishing new long-lived but temporary jurisdictions that could meet the need to reconcile sovereignty with a humane sense of a responsibility to protect people who are in desperate need.
