** Ending Wars Well: Order, Justice, and Conciliation
------------------------------------------------------------
Thursday, Nov. 8:  Why don't wars 'end well?' From Rwanda to Colombia to Afghanistan, it seems that modern wars drag on and on, with terrible costs for civilians and their neighbors. Berkley Center Senior Research Fellow Eric Patterson argues that just war principles can provide a framework for bringing wars to modest yet enduring conclusions. He proposes a model that begins with investment in order as a practical and moral imperative. This provides a foundation for justice and conciliation in unique situations.

** Unraveling of Pax America?
------------------------------------------------------------
Thursday, Nov. 8: The U.S. may have pivoted back to Asia and the Pacific rhetorically, but does it have the muscle and staying power to reassert itself in a region that it has dominated for nearly seven decades? U.S. competitors think not, and even friends and allies have their doubts. So what does the pivot portend for US power in Asia where Secretary of State Clinton has declared that ‘the future of politics will be decided’? And what role will Australia, the southern anchor of the US alliance system in Asia, play in future US strategy towards the region? Lecture by Dr. Alan Dupont, Director of the Center for International Security and Development Studies at the University of New South Wales, Australia. Sponsored by the Center for Australian and New Zealand Studies and the Center for Security Studies. 12pm, McGhee Library.  Click here to RSVP. (http://alandupont.eventbrite.com/#)

** Muslims in Indian Cities: Trajectories of Marginalization
------------------------------------------------------------
Thursday, Nov. 8: With more than 150 million people, Muslims are the largest Indian minority but are facing a significant decline in socioeconomic as well as political terms – to say nothing about the communal waves of violence that have affected them over the last 25 years. In India’s cities, these developments find contrasted expressions. While Muslims are everywhere lagging behind, they have met an especially marked decline in riot-prone areas like Ahmedabad. These developments have resulted in the formation of Muslim ghettos in places like Juhapura in Ahmedabad. But (self-)segregation also played a role in the making of Muslim enclaves. In both cases, poor Muslims and elements of a new Muslim middle class in quest for physical as well as cultural protection, have regrouped. Sponsored by the Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal Center for Muslim-Christian Understanding, the Columbia University Alliance Program and the United Nations Alliance of Civilizations and British
Council. 1:45pm, ICC 270.  Click here to RSVP (http://events.georgetown.edu/events/index.cfm?Action=View&CalendarID=106&EventID=99357) .
