Tikender Singh Panwar questions Punjab’s urban expansion, and Arun Kumar highlights the Global South’s quiet resistance to unfolding imperialism.

Organized by the IMPRI Center for International Relations and Strategic Studies, this four-month certificate training fellowship is designed to equip young professionals, students, and global affairs enthusiasts with foundational knowledge and leadership skills in international relations.

Examining the Feasibility of an East-West Economic Corridor for South and Central Asia:
Views from India and Pakistan
In this exploratory report, the authors ask whether an East-West Economic Corridor (EWEC) linking Afghanistan, the Central Asian republics (Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan), India, Iran, and Pakistan is feasible. Earlier efforts to develop economic corridors in this region have failed. The causes, the authors find, do not lie in doubts about the corridors' economic viability. Instead, the causes appear to be geopolitical alignments, internal conflicts, relations between EWEC members, great-power relations of EWEC members, and barriers to external capital.
