DEC. 22-23 - CONF./CFP- 2nd Int'l Conference on Afghanistan, IPIS, Tehran
 Institute for Political and International Studies (IPIS)

 2nd International Conference on Afghanistan: Prospects for Future

 Call for Papers

 One year passed since the fall down of Taliban Regime and the
 establishment of a new political settlement in Afghanistan
 under the title of "Interim Administration" for a six month
 period. Consensus of anti-Taliban groups and cooperation of
 regional and trans-regional actors on the framework of Bonn
 process helped to form this new situation.

 At the end of this period and by the result of Loya Jirga
 decisions, the Islamic Transitional Government of Afghanistan
 replaced the "Interim Administration" for an 18 months period.
 The new constitution of Afghanistan will be drafted during
 this period and after holding a referendum and final
 ratification of the constitution, the type of new political
 system and Afghan government will be identified.

 The global society welcomed the political changes and
 developments in Afghanistan and bringing back the order
 and stability to this country. In this way, for strengthening
 the foundations of existing order in Afghanistan, the
 reconstruction of this country considered to be a high
 priority. Therefore, various countries declared their
 readiness in Tokyo Conference to participate in the
 reconstruction of Afghanistan.

 The main goal of the conference of "Afghanistan: Prospect
 for Future" being held by IPIS on December 22-23, 2002, is
 the examination of event and the evaluation of activities
 leading to the enhancement of the current political order
 in Afghanistan and reconstruction of this country since
 last year. The main topics and themes of the conference are:

 1) Bonn Process: Evaluation of the Progress;

 2) Reconstruction of Afghanistan: the Rate of Realization of
    the Programs;

 3) Social, Economic and Political Challenges Facing the
    Transitional Government;

 4) The Future Constitution of Afghanistan;

 5) Afghanistan and the Region;

 6) The Future Afghanistan: Global Responsibility.

 Those interested in presenting their papers can submit a one-page
 abstract along with their academic resume to the seminar's
 secretariat by November 28, 2002, on any of the foregoing topics.

PAST EVENTS

DEC. 16 - Mon, 7:30 pm, LECTURE- The War on Global Terrorism in Afghanistan, NY
 By N. Shahrani

 OPEN TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC

 The New York Academy of Sciences, 2 E. 63 St. (63 St. at 5th Ave.)
 New York, NY 10021. Anthropology Section

 Speaker: Nazif Shahrani, Department of Anthropology, Indiana University

 "The War on Global Terrorism in Afghanistan: A Critical Assessment"

 Abstract:

 This presentation will examine the limitations of the narrow conception
 of terrorism, primarily as a "security" concern, by the U.S. government
 and the media and the negative consequences of such an approach in
 addressing the root causes of the problem.  The presentation will
 suggest alternative conceptualizations and possible solutions to the
 problem of global terrorism which have not been considered seriously
 or systematically so far.  I will assess the impact of this year-long
 war on Afghan society (positively and negatively), its prospects for
 bringing peace and stability in Central and Southwestern Asia, as well
 as its effects on the future national security of the United States,
 both at home and abroad.

 Discussant: Peter Sinnott
 School of International and Public Affairs, Columbia University


===========================================================

NOTE: URGENT FUNDS NEEDED
 
 I just received a phone call from Lancashire Social Services, UK. 
 A young Afghan woman asylum seeker has died in childbirth and there
 are no funds available to bury her which means she would have to be
 buried in a communal public grave with 3 other bodies.  The death
 is tragic anyway but for her husband, being unable to give her a
 decent funeral must be an added blow.  Does anyone have any resources
 that could contribute to the costs of a private burial? Lancashire Soc.
 Services have been quoted £1,979.  The woman dealing with this case is
 trying hard to help so contacted BAAG.  Any offers/ideas would be very
 much appreciated so please give me a ring on 020 740 4400 or send a
 quick email if you have any. 

 Thank you. [email protected]

-------------------------

NOTE: SERVICE INTRODUCTION

 Finally, I don't think I've told you about another ARDC project,
 the "Afghan Connection".  The idea is to match people, by
 profession, with their peers in Afghanistan.  So, an American
 teacher would be linked to an Afghan teacher, a German doctor
 with an Afghan doctor, etc.  The goal is both cultural exchange
 (via email) and development of common projects.  For example,
 the teachers might form a sister school relationship that helps
 the Afghan school with supplies, etc.  This gives some small
 direct help to Afghanistan, and builds a stronger connection
 to Afghanistan among the Americans taking part, thereby building
 a stronger political base, as well.

NOTE:  THEATHER PERFORMANCE IN CHICAGO

 CHICAGO'S STEPPENWOLF THEATER PRESENTS: HOMEBODY/KABUL
 
 COMING TO CHICAGO IN Spring 2003!

 Homebody/Kabul (Mainstage performance) by Tony Kushner
 directed by ensemble member Frank Galati
 featuring ensemble member Martha Lavey MIDWEST PREMIERE
 A bored, emotionally imprisoned but wildly intellectual
 English woman flees to Afghanistan, a place that she
 romanticizes with the help of a tourist guidebook. Her
 mysterious disappearance prompts a search by her husband
 and daughter who arrive in the foreign land unprepared
 for the adventures and contradictions that await them.
 Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Tony Kushner has turned
 his penetrating gaze to the arena of global politics to
 create this visceral and haunting portrait of a dangerous
 collision between cultures. Single tickets on sale: April 24

NOTE: NEW AFGHAN MAP DEVELOPED

 Frustrated over finding flaws, inaccuracies and mistakes
 with most of the available maps on Afghanistan, I took it
 upon myself to create what I consider the most detailed map
 of Afghanistan. After three years of research and hard work,
 the map was finally published in the summer of 2001, and it
 became a success right out of the gate.

 Here are some features of the map:

 - 28"x40" full color on high quality glossy paper.
 - Includes the latest administrative divisions of the country
 - More than 2500 cities, towns and villages (more than any map
   in this size and scale)
 - An 10.5"x13.5" inset map of South and Central Asia.
 - Includes "Afghanistan at a Glance" (facts about the country
   including size, population, languages, ethnicity, climate,
   terrain, major mountains, rivers, natural resources, exports,
    imports, etc.)
 - A "Time Chart" for finding local times of dozens of major cities
   around the globe.
 - A scale for converting degrees Fahrenheit to degrees Celsius & visa
   versa, a neat little adder.
 - "Timeline of Afghan History". A brief history of Afghanistan
   covering more than 5000 years - a quick reference for those who
   are interested in Afghan history.

 This map is offered at a reduced price of $8 a copy plus $4 shipping
 via priority mail.

 If you are interested in getting your own copy of this map, please
 send a check or money order to:
