Exiled Democracies and Europe's Responsibility
In this talk, Dr. Lobsang Sangay, former head of the Tibetan administration in exile and a prominent scholar of international law and democracy, explores the challenges faced by exiled democratic movements in a rapidly changing geopolitical landscape. Drawing on his own experience, Dr. Sangay will reflect on how Europe can engage with and support democratic governance beyond its borders, balancing values, diplomacy, and strategic interests. The discussion will touch upon questions of legitimacy, resilience, and Europe’s moral and political responsibility in defending democratic ideals worldwide.
