The Regional Independence Movements panel is part of the conference Feeling Left Behind, organized by  the students of the McCourt School of Public Policy and to take place from February 23-24, 2017 at Georgetown University.

By looking at regional independence movements in Scotland, Catalonia, and Hong Kong, this segment seeks to understand what policies have contributed to continued disenchantment and calls for independence and how this impacts international relations.
