SUMMARY:India China: Rethinking Borders and Security - Book Launch
DESCRIPTION: \n\n\n\nIndia China: Rethinking Borders and Security\n\n\n\nBook launch with authors: L.H.M. Ling\, Adriana Abdenur\, Payal Banerjee\, Nimmi Kurian\, Mahendra P. Lama\, Li Bo \n\n\n\nMonday\, May 22\, 4:00-6:oo pmOrozco Room (712)\, 66 West 12th St\n\n\n\nRemarks by:Mary Watson\, Executive Dean\, NSPETansen Sen\, Professor\, CUNYAshok Gurung\, Senior Director\, ICI \n\n\n\n RSVP NOW \n\n\n\nUniversity of Michigan Press (2016)\n\n\n\nAbout the Book \n\n\n\nChallenging the Westphalian view of international relations\, which focuses on the sovereignty of states and the inevitable potential for conflict\, the authors from the Borderlands Study Group reconceive borders as capillaries enabling the flow of material\, cultural\, and social benefits through local communities\, nation-states\, and entire regions. By emphasizing local agency and regional interdependencies\, this metaphor reconfigures current narratives about the China India border and opens a new perspective on the long history of the Silk Roads\, the modern BCIM Initiative\, and dam construction along the Nu River in China and the Teesta River in India. \n\n\n\nTogether\, the authors show that positive interaction among people on both sides of a border generates larger\, cross-border communities\, which can pressure for cooperation and development. India China offers the hope that people divided by arbitrary geo-political boundaries can circumvent race\, gender\, class\, religion\, and other social barriers\, to form more inclusive institutions and forms of governance. \n\n\n\nLing and her collaborators have ambitions that are not merely explanatory but also transformative: they seek not merely to make sense of an existing conflict\, but by diagnosing it in terms of blocked flows and interrupted balances\, they seek to envision ways to resolve (or\, better\, to dis-solve) it. If the more typical IR explanatory social-scientific question would be ‘why is this India-China conflict as virulent as it is?\,’ their question is instead ‘what does the present state of the conflict reveal about how to change things?’ The transformative question encompasses the explanatory question and presses it onto novel terrain; call the results ‘explanation-plus.’ —Patrick Thaddeus Jackson\, Editor\, Configurations Series\, University of Michigan Press and Professor\, School of International Service\, American University \n\n\n\nAbout the Authors \n\n\n\n\nL.
