Advanced Topics in Liberty: City-States as Alternatives to Nation-States

Discussion Leader

Professor Sanford Ikeda, Purchase College, SUNY

Overview

The modern world largely consists of massive nation-states and the attendant problems that accompany them. But history is cluttered with an unending array of small states dependent upon innovation, trade, and liberal policy. What’s more, modernity itself offers us the ability to renew and rejuvenate the search for alternatives to the nation-state. As part of our upcoming “Advanced Topics” series co-sponsored with Liberty Fund, IHS will host a Discussion Colloquium on “City-States as Alternatives to Nation-States.” The discussion will be led by Sanford Ikeda, professor of economics at Purchase College, SUNY, and will be held in the Washington, D.C. area.

The IHS will pay for all lodging and meals at the event as well as a travel stipend and $500 honoraria for your time and efforts.
