Seminar: The India-Pakistan Conundrum
Anthony D'Costa
The Danish Institute for International Studies (DIIS) and Asia Research Centre, Copenhagen Business School (CBS) have the pleasure of inviting you to a seminar on:
The India-Pakistan Conundrum
Friday, 15 February 2013, 9.30-11.45
Danish Institute for International Studies
Main Auditorium
Strandgade 71, ground floor, 1401 Copenhagen K
Background
Shooting for a Century: The India-Pakistan Conundrum (forthcoming, Brookings Press, 2013) is one of the few comprehensive overviews of one of the world’s most intractable conflicts, looking at both known and deeper causes. The India-Pakistan dispute is unlikely to be resolved or normalized in the next 35 years—it will last a “century”—a hundred years, having begun in 1947. This is not the worst outcome: another major crisis could lead to a nuclear war; the breakup or destruction of Pakistan would have far reaching consequences for the region and the world.
This talk will dissect the key actors on all sides of the conflict, including the Pakistan army, examine the implications of a continuing stalemate, and look at theories that explain why this conflict persists, and strategies that might avert a larger conflict or, improbably, move the two states towards normalization.
Speakers at the seminar are Stephen P. Cohen, Senior Fellow, The Brookings Institution, Anthony P. D’Costa, Professor, CBS and Mona K. Sheikh, Postdoc, DIIS.
More details about the seminar and its speakers are available on DISS’ website http://www.diis.dk/sw126041.asp and in the attached invitation.
