The Interdisciplinary Development Research and Action Center at Habib University
warmly welcomes you to its Fall 2016 Public Lecture Series
'Black Beards and Blue Helments: Jihad, Peac-keeping, and Islamic Universalims in the Bosnia Crisis'
Speaker: Dr. Darryl Li
About the talk:
The 1992-1995 war in Bosnia-Herzegovina was a defining moment of the post-Cold War order, pivotal to the development of UN peacekeeping and the project of European integration. Less well-explored is Bosnia's significance throughout the Muslim world and the numerous solidarity efforts that emerged during the war. As a predominantly Muslim country in Europe, Bosnia presented opportunities and dilemmas for universalist projects in both the West and the Muslim world. This lecture traces two of the most important attempts to embody Islamic solidarity with Bosnia: foreign volunteers in the Bosnian army ("mujahidin") and military units seconded to the United Nations peacekeeping forces by predominantly Muslim countries, including Pakistan.
