About GAIR

The Alliance School of Law in Bangalore is seeking submissions for the GAIR Newsletter’s first online edition (Vol. 1 Issue 1). It is a quarterly E-newsletter that is open access, peer-reviewed, and refereed. The goal of the GAIR E-Newsletter is to provide an academic forum for students, practitioners, journalists, and academicians to express, debate, and discuss current themes in International Relations and Global Affairs.

The newsletter is looking for works that are dynamic and interdisciplinary in nature, and that demonstrate a thorough understanding of the subject topic.

Theme

The central theme for the inaugural issue is Afghanistan Political Crisis and Rise of Taliban.

The world is watching the situation unfold in Afghanistan following the Taliban’s political takeover.

Such a power transfer raises not only political, but also economic, security, and human rights concerns.

Sub themes:

Role of Security Council in Afghanistan Crisis
Position of India with respect to Diplomatic ties in Afghanistan
Impact of International ties after takeover of Taliban
Human Rights and Taliban
Defacto and Dejure Recognition of Taliban
Impact of Withdrawal of USA Army in Afghanistan
Constitutional Crisis and Political Instability in Afghanistan
Religious Extremism and Impact of Sharia Law on Women
Economic relations after takeover of Taliban
Diplomatic ties of Pakistan and China with Taliban
Education, Social restrictions and justice in Taliban
Humanitarian Crisis following Taliban’s takeover of Afghanistan

The above sub-themes are only illustrative and the participants are free to write on any topic directly connected to the central theme of the Newsletter.
