Description
Now that the US has pulled out of Afghanistan and that the Taliban have taken over the country, what does the future of Afghanistan look like? Did any good come out of the last 20 years? And how will this impact the people of Afghanistan?
These are some of the questions that are discussed in this episode of What Matters Today.
Professor Alessandro Monsutti is the guest for this episode. Professor Monsutti Monsutti became a member of the Graduate Institute faculty in 2010. He has conducted multi-sited research since the mid-1990s in Afghanistan, Pakistan and Iran to study the modes of solidarity and cooperation mobilised in a situation of conflict and forced migration. He has subsequently broadened the geographical scope of his research to include members of the Afghan diaspora living in Western countries. This led him to analyse war and post-conflict reconstruction in the light of the social networks and economic strategies developed by refugees and migrants, and – more generally – to address theoretical and methodological issues related to globalisation.
In addition, he has a book entitled Homo Itinerans (Towards a Global Ethnography of Afghanistan) which can be found by following this link: https://www.berghahnbooks.com/title/MonsuttiHomo

The impact of COVID-19 on human rights: Over the past few months, the coronavirus has had a major impact on many different facets of our daily lives. One topic that isn't often addressed however, is the impact the pandemic has, and will continue to have, on human rights. In this second episode of our special series which examines a post coronavirus world, we examine how the pandemic has changed how human rights are viewed and respected, how it is affecting victims of domestic violence, and how it has become a barrier, in some instances, for the exercise of human rights. This episodes features guests from the Graduate Institute's International Law department and include Vincent Chetail, Professor of International Law, Chair of the International Law Department, Director of the Global Migration Centre (Graduate Institute) and President of the Board of the Geneva Academy of International Humanitarian Law and Human Rights; Andrew Clapham, Professor of International Law, he was the first D by Graduate Institute What Matters Today
