The workshop “Communitarianism: an analysis of local self-organization in context of weak statehood” will debate local self–regulation in different countries, regimes and historical periods. The aim is to analyze the relationship between national and local state regulation and the self–regulatory capacity of local communities.

The main goal is to promote and encourage different research approaches and understanding about the concepts of weak statehood. In this sense, local self–regulation may provide a glance on new solutions to the drawbacks of individualism. Researchers and students from diverse areas of study are welcome, considering that interdisciplinarity is a strong asset to build creative, effective and new solutions.
