WHYS 60: What does it take to be a country?

BBC World Service - World Have Your Say, WHYS 60: What does it take to be a country?

What does it take to be a country? We discuss this with a panel of experts.

This week we've seen Palestinian status at the UN getting upgraded, Egypt drafting a new constitution and voters in Spain giving a majority to parties who want Catalan independence. So what does it take to be a country? Is it recognition by the UN, geography, a common language, or a constitution? On the show we'll have a panel of experts who'll discuss this.
