Prof. Sumantra Bose visits IUST, interacts with students, faculty Awantipora, May 3: Noted author and academic, Prof Sumantra Bose, Wednesday interacted with students and faculty of Centre of International Relations (CIR) and Department of Journalism and Mass Communication (DJMC), Islamic University of Science and Technology (IUST). The interaction session was jointly organised by CIR and DJMC, IUST. Bose, who serves as professor of International and Comparative Politics at London School of Economics, deliberated on nature of conflict of various kinds. Talking about Indo-Pak dispute over divided parts of Kashmir, he said there are different shades of opinion regarding the issue, “with some people supporting India or Pakistan, while the rest demanding independence”. “A survey was carried out in 2009 by an international organisation on both sides of the Line of Control (LoC). The findings were quite interesting, that is 70 to 90 percent of people from Indian-administered Kashmir wanted independence, whereas 50 percent people of Pakistan-occupied Kashmir too wanted independence,” said Prof Bose, who has written extensively about the conflicts of Indian sub-continent. Prof Bose also compared the Kashmir conflict with that of Northern Ireland. He talked about how power sharing between two parties solved the conflict in Northern Ireland. “Like Northern Ireland, Kashmir too holds two opposite policies in coalition government, which can prove fruitful only if the power is shared with good faith. But if that does not happen, then it is useless to have such a government,” he said. Earlier, welcoming the guest, Head CIR, Shezana Andrabi, said every conflict is unique and the solution of Kashmir conflict lies within Kashmir only. Later, a question-answer session was held, in which students and faculty members cleared their queries. .

Socio-Cultural Viability of International Intervention in War-Torn Societies
Socio-Cultural Viability of International Intervention in War-Torn Societies A Case Study of Bosnia Herzegovina Department of Political Science Umeå University, Sweden Research Report 2007:1 ISBN 978-91-7264-253-9 ISSN 0349-0831 © Dzenan Sahovic Printed by: Print & Media, Umeå University, 2007:2002739 Socio-Cultural Viability of International Intervention in War-Torn Societies A Case Study of Bosnia Herzegovina Dzenan Sahovic Abstract This dissertation explores the ‘socio-cultural dilemma’ facing international peacebuilders in war-torn societies through a case study of the post-conflict process in Bosnia and Herzegovina. This is done with the help of a typological approach of the grid-group Cultural Theory framework, which defines four social solidarities – or ideal type cultures – of individualism, egalitarianism, fatalism and hierarchy. A central argument in the thesis is that international intervention is culturally individualistic and/or egalitarian, thus socio-culturally unviable in war-torn societies, which are usually dominated by hierarchical and fatalist social solidarities. This underlying socio-cultural conflict is used to trace the Bosnian post-war process, where the relationship between the managing international institution – the Office of the High Representative of the International Community – and the local nationalist elites repeatedly changed in response to the failure of international policies to produce the desired result, namely broad socio-cultural change in the local politics and society. Four different periods in the process are identified: 1) ’economic conditionality’, 2) ‘Bonn Powers’, 3) ‘the concept of ownership’ and 4) ‘Euro-Atlantic integration’. Each period is defined by different culturally biased policies, supported by corresponding social relations and strategic behaviours.

The Books That Inspired Sumantra Bose: “Fanon's the Wretched of The
blogs.lse.ac.uk http://blogs.lse.ac.uk/lsereviewofbooks/2012/08/05/the-books-that-inspired-sumantra-bose/ The books that inspired Sumantra Bose: “Fanon’s The Wretched of the Earth touched a chord with both my national and personal background” Aug 5 2012 Sumantra Bose is Professor of International and Comparative Politics at the LSE with a specialty in ethnic and national conflicts. Here he discusses the book that inspired his early interest in politics and also about the contemporary works of fiction and non-fiction he most admires for capturing humanity amidst war. It was Autumn 1988 and I had just arrived in a pretty university town in New England, 90 miles west of Boston. I had come from my home city Calcutta (Kolkata) in India, where for twelve years I attended a Jesuit school. I enrolled as a freshman at Amherst College. Thousand-page reading assignments were frequent, and students were expected to participate actively in seminars. I felt like a novice swimmer thrown off the deep end of a pool. But soon the excitement of learning – not just learning new things but more important, a new way of learning – Amherst College Chapel and Dormitories gripped me totally. (Courtesy of Amherst College Archive, I had thought of majoring in economics. But the most Flickr.com) interesting course I took that first semester – Introduction to Political Science (Poli Sci 11) – proved to be the beginning of a different path, which also later led me to reject as too dry and boring other post-graduation possibilities such as law school or investment banking.

[email protected] https://eprints.lse.ac.uk/ The Global Authoritarian Moment and the Revolt against Empire David Motadel IN THE YEARS OF THE Second World War, Berlin became a hub of global anti-imperial revolutionary activism. Between 1941 and 1945, scores of anticolonial leaders flocked to Germany, among them Indians, most famously Subhas Chandra Bose; prominent Arabs, including the Iraqi nationalist Rashid ʿAli al-Kaylani, the Syrian rebel leader Fawzi al-Qawuqji, and Amin al-Husayni, the notorious Mufti of Jerusalem; Irish radicals, such as Seán Russell; and nationalist revolutionaries from Central Asia and the Caucasus—Turkestanis, Azerbaijanis, Chechens, and others. One of these men, the Arab nationalist Yunus Bahri, exulted in his memoirs about wartime Germany’s anticolonial international: “Delegations from oppressed, colonized, and occupied lands such as the Maghrib, Russia, the Arab lands, and India were coming to Berlin, which was victorious on all battlefields.”1 Many of them saw Germany as an ally in their struggle for a new world order.
