Afghanistan-Pakistan Relations: A Clash of Identities?

New Books in South Asian Studies - Een podcast door Marshall Poe

With Afghanistan once again under Taliban rule and Pakistan reeling under a severe economic and political crisis, the relationship between the neighbouring countries is growing increasingly tense.

Farhat Taj is an associate professor at the University of Tromsø, the Arctic University of Norway. Kenneth Bo Nielsen is an Associate Professor at the dept. of Social Anthropology at the University of Oslo and one of the leaders of the Norwegian Network for Asian Studies.
