Workshop Overview
This 2-day intensive workshop offers a unique opportunity to explore the legal and political dimensions of territorial disputes and sovereignty conflicts in the 21st century. Participants will engage with real-world case studies—from the Arctic to the South China Sea—and develop a nuanced understanding of international law, dispute resolution mechanisms, and geopolitical dynamics.
The workshop will be held onsite in Athens, one of the world’s most historic and accessible cities, and will be followed by two online Q&A sessions to deepen learning and maintain global engagement.
Why This Workshop Now?
In a world where traditional institutions and legal frameworks are increasingly unable to resolve sovereignty conflicts, this workshop offers a fresh, multidimensional approach. Drawing on Dr Núñez’s recent analyses of global conflict resolution failures, participants will explore why current remedies often fall short—and how to develop more effective, context-sensitive strategies.
From the paralysis of international courts to the geopolitical deadlocks in regions like the South China Sea and Eastern Europe, the workshop will critically examine the limitations of existing systems and introduce innovative tools for navigating today’s complex territorial disputes.
