GUEST LECTURE BY NORWEGIAN STUDENTS


VENUE: Central Block, Room No. 612

DATE: 12-02-2019

TIME: 9 AM.-10 AM

Department of International Studies and History, CHRIST (Deemed to be University), organised a Guest Lecture by the students from Norway, currently pursuing their internship at CHRIST, with a focus on the Norwegian culture, history, politics and soft power.

The talk-cum-interaction essentially focused on tracing the history of Norway from the era of the Vikings to the politics of today, which is a unitary constitutional monarchy. They shed light on the aspect of the Norwegian culture and lifestyle. A country with a small population and key benefits provided to the citizens, they talked on the lines of the governmental facilities extended to the people in Norway. They then, charted the synergy between Norway and India and how the collaborative efforts from both the countries show the subtle functioning of soft power and Norway’s integrated relationship with other countries as well via the UN, EU and NATO.

The talk was followed by an interactive Q&A session. The students of 2-MAIS then, gave tokens of appreciation to the guest students.

Internship Experience- Indian Council of World Affairs-Avishka Ashok

My experience at the Indian Council of World Affairs has taught me the tedious process of research and the internal working of a think tank. Being a part of the core meetings and closed door conferences was a fascinating experience. I attended a meeting on the Afghan Peace Process which was attended by the Chief of Afghan High Peace Council and other delegates from Afghanistan. There was a conference on Indian - Russian relations which was attended by many researchers and ambassadors. I had the opportunity to work under research fellows at ICWA who guided me through my research paper. It was an enlightening experience as I realized the efforts that one needs to put to write a good paper. The work culture is serious and relaxed at the same time.

But there are times when the fellows would come to us and talk for a while. These conversations were info...
