The panel consisted of Dr. Kristine Mitchell, associate professor of Political Science and International Studies at Dickinson College; Prof. Laura Cram, professor at the School of Social and Political Science at the University of Edinburgh; Prof. Maia K. David Cross, professor at the College of Social Sciences and Humanities at Northeastern University; and Dr. John Erick Fossum, professor at the Arena Centre for European Studies at the University of Oslo.
In turn, Mr. Isern presented the article "Brexit: a Return to the Idea of Europe," co-authored with Ms. Cristina Edbrooke, professor of Contemporary Latin American History at the School of Management and Social Sciences.
The article explains that Brexit is systematically viewed as a problem because it is inconceivable to recognize that the exit represents an opportunity for future agreements.
This is because, from philosophers such as Thomas Hobbes to John Rawls, the social contract has been conceived as a mechanism for building the polis; therefore, the article adds, it is difficult to view dissent as a driving force behind human agreements.
