Partitions are everywhere. Calls for new partitions emanate from the media and policy spaces, as in Syria, Afghanistan, and Iraq; and discuss the reignition of tensions by the unravelling of old ones, like in post-Brexit Northern Ireland and Kashmir. How did we get here? What insights can we draw from partitions’ brutal past, their lived experiences, and their shared intellectual genealogies to understand them in contemporary times?
Partition Machine is a two-day conference at the University of Glasgow on the centennial of the 1923 Treaty of Lausanne to examine how the Treaty was the genesis of the norm for territorial divisions as a 'solution' to protracted political violence in the world. The conference will foreground new research on territorial divisions, their travelogues, and worldmaking influence in order to better understand the world that partitions have made in the short 20th century.
