Conference On :South Asia Perspetive On Regional Stability The Role Of The State: Democracy, Dictatorship, And Extremism

The conference will take place at Hotel Radisson Toronto East 55 Hallcrown Place, on Saturday, December 11,2010, from 10.00 Am to 4PM.
South Asia is an intricate web of diverse cultures and socio-political systems with a history of invasions and colonization.

While the invading armies of Greeks, Persians, Arabs, and Mongols have left their mark on the land and its peoples; it was the European colonial powers, particularly the British that gave the region its modern political outlook and the problems that come with it. The departure of British colonial power with the division of subcontinent along communal lines ushered a new era of unending disputes and tensions. The region is now the hub of global terrorism, extremism, and militarism.


We are hosting a full day discourse on the questions of extremism, terrorism, and conflicts that have plagued South Asia and the neighbouring areas for decades. The consequences of a protracted civil war in Afghanistan, establishment of terror networks, and development of nuclear weapons pose serious challenges to the region's security and stability. We are inviting the best minds to investigate and examine the correlation between state politics, extremism, and terrorism. Analysing the role of state in advancing or curbing extremism and terrorism is often underestimated or downplayed and requires careful examination to help understand options and barriers in dealing with it. Political systems, functioning democracy, and military dictatorships play a significant role in either confronting or promoting armed conflicts and insurgencies based on the nature and the interests of the states involved.

We cordially invite you to grace this occasion by joining the discourse as important speakers on the subject and help explore the hidden dimensions of a complex problem. Your insight and research on the question of terrorism and stability in South Asia shall coherently promote peace in the world.
