Distinguished Speaker Series: Time: 12:00pm-2:00pm Boundary disputes pose an ongoing threat to international peace and security across the globe. These disputes vary in size and scope. Some disputes involve line drawing along a frontier, while others involve the fate of entire towns or provinces. Some involve little more than a rock in the middle of a river, while others, like Kashmir or Jerusalem, have important historical, cultural, and strategic value. Boundary disputes may take many forms, but they are strikingly consistent in one respect: they defy durable solutions. Attend our luncheon to learn about and discover new initiatives to create lasting solutions to global border issues! RSVP to programs@columbiawac.org or call (803)252-2197
