Asia Research Centre public seminar
Date: Tuesday 9 November 2010
Time: 3.30-5pm
Venue: NAB 2.06, New Academic Building
Speaker: Samarjit Ghosh
Chair: Dr. Rudra Chaudhuri
The aim of the paper is to analyse the role regional actors, including India, could play in the stability of Afghanistan. The importance that the region, as a whole, has for lasting stability in
Afghanistan is widely accepted. Intertwined in the regional security systems of South Asia, the Persian Gulf and Central Asia, each with specific security concerns of its own, the appeal of a neutral Afghanistan, surrounded by non-interfering regional actors is unquestionable for the most part. More tenuous however is the framework that such an approach could take, given the history of the region (both in the distant past and the comparatively recent) and the possibility/plausibility of the same.
Samarjit Ghosh is a Visiting Fellow at the Asia Research Centre and is from the Centre for Land Warfare Studies, New Delhi. His research interests include postmodern conceptions of warfare and the future character of conflict, politico-military developments in the Islamic Republics of Afghanistan and Pakistan, and the participation of the international community in the same.
Dr. Rudra Chaudhuri is from Kings College London.
