Helfried Carl in conversation with Karolina Wigura
\nPOST-TRAUMATIC SOVEREIGNTY<\/h4>\n

With Russia's attack on Ukraine, the old Central European fear is back: becoming a victim of the superpowers. Unlike in Germany, from whose soil two world wars started, there was no hesitation in Warsaw, Tallinn and elsewhere. Only those who have themselves been attacked and, like Poland, even wiped off the map understand that military self-defence is justified. In their lucid essay, Karolina Wigura, historian of ideas, and Jarolaw Kuisz, political scientist, describe how today's war reactivates historical traumas; why Warsaw is assuming a leading role in European defence policy, even though the ruling PiS party invokes the EU as a threat to its own sovereignty.<\/p>\n

The event will be held in English.<\/em><\/p>\n
