Keynote Address: 1st International Studies Conference (2024)
Keynote Speaker: Dr. Hassan Abbas
The inaugural Baragali Conference 2024 set a rigorous academic precedent for the Department of International Relations, University of Peshawar. In this keynote address, the speaker navigates the complex socio-political and security dynamics of “Borderlands.”
The session focuses on how frontiers are not merely geographic lines but spaces of intense economic opportunity and humanitarian challenges. This talk provides a foundational framework for understanding regional stability in the context of global power shifts.
“Borderlands are the mirrors of national sovereignty and the bridges to regional cooperation.”
