This afternoon at 6.30 p.m., the Fundación Juan March is holding the debate Federalism in Europe, with the participation of Araceli Mangas (pictured), Professor of International Public Law and International Relations, and Francisco Aldecoa, Professor of International Relations, both from the Complutense University of Madrid.
The two participants will be interviewed by Antonio San José and Íñigo Alfonso and will place the question of federalism in the context of the European Union and discuss the different models of its member states. Modern federalism is understood as a political organisation in which the associated states have equal powers vis-à-vis a central power or federal state. Prior to the federal republic configurations of our immediate surroundings, such as Germany, Brazil or Argentina, this model was adopted by the United States of America, after the Civil War, and by the Swiss Confederation. With regard to Europe, the configuration of a European federalism has been considered since the 19th century. The presenters will pose questions proposed by the audience at lacuestionpalpitante@march.es. Live broadcast on Canal March and YouTube.
