experts for finding a peaceful solution to any conflict in the area.
RCSS combines desk and field research by using primary and secondary
data in its work; it also organizes various conferences and seminars,
and holds annual residential workshops. RCSS operates essentially on the
basis of networking and collaboration of individuals and institutions
engaged in the studies of conflict, security and peace issues in South
Asia. At the RCSS's inititative, a network of new generation South Asian
professionals for interaction, dialogue and collaborative research on
non-military source of conflict has emerged to promote fresh and
forward-looking ideas and options on conflicts that affect life,
relations and stability in the region.
A Conference on Refugees and Migation in South Asia, organized in
collaboration with Refugee Studies Programme of the University of Oxford
and held in Bangladesh on 9-11 February 1998, has united the South Asian
experts with a practical knowledge and experience in working with
internally and forcibly displaced persons in results of armed conflicts,
economic and environmental situations. It has also explored
possibilities of sustained collaboration and networking for follow-up
projects of policy relevance. |
