Soevereinen: schijt aan de overheid | jurist Luuk de Boer en rechtsfilosoof Maxim van Asseldonk YouTube video by Radboud Reflects

Vorige week sprak ik samen met Luuk de Boer bij Radboud Reflects over soevereinen: wie zijn ze, wat motiveert ze, en wat zegt het over een democratische rechtsstaat en de legitimiteit van macht dat de populariteit van dit gedachtegoed toeneemt?
