Talk by Professor Simon Tormey (University of Bristol)

His talk will be at the end of the first day of the Conference on “Decentralized Federalism in Anarchist Political Thought” organized by Alex Prichard and Melis Kirtilli, and funded by the James Maddison Charitable Trust, with a contribution from our Centre.
