International Security Studies co-sponsors a conversation with Christopher Clary on the rivalry between India and Pakistan from 1947 to today. Clary’s book, “The Difficult Politics of Peace: Rivalry in Modern South Asia,” provides a systematic examination of war-making and peace-building in South Asia, ultimately explaining the two countries’ enduring rivalry through domestic politics that overshadow strategic interests.

Life in a refugee camp is often seen as an impermanent thing, where in reality it actually becomes a big part of a refugee’s life. Inclusive and healthy environment in a camp is thus very important for the well-being of both the displaced and host communities. From 2018 to 2022, working with the Rohingya refugees as well as the surrounding Bangladeshi hosting communities in Ukhiya-Teknaf area, has never been about one particular space, but about collaborating together in a crisis situation to overcome the unexpected challenges over time.

Professor Yang-Yang Zhou will be presenting the research of her new book project ‘Rejecting Coethnicity: the Politics of Migrant Exclusion by Minoritized Citizens’. How are migrants received by host countries and communities? A substantial body of scholarship on migrant reception focuses almost exclusively on majority White citizens in the Global North and their (negative) attitudes towards migrants from the Global South.
