Session 2: Fractured Foundations: Rebuilding Nationhood Amid Corruption, Confusion, and Moral Chaos
This conference session aims to examine the complex dynamics shaping nationhood in an era marked by corruption, widespread confusion, and profound moral ambiguity. As institutions weaken and public trust erodes, it becomes increasingly important to understand how these fractured foundations influence national identity, governance, and social stability. This session will bring together scholars, policymakers, and civic leaders to discuss the impact of systemic corruption and moral fragmentation on nation-building, explore strategies for restoring public confidence, and highlight pathways toward reconstructing a more resilient and unified national community.
