# Event Details - **Event Name**: Between War and Peace.

It aims to connect urgent policy concerns with historical depth, comparative analysis, and rigorous academic interpretation.This third Forum focuses on the expanding space between war and peace: a condition marked by prolonged hostilities, securitisation, fragile diplomacy, and the risk of escalation. Against the backdrop of the Russia–Ukraine War and shifting Eurasian alignments, Mongolia faces a constrained geopolitical environment between Sino–Russian alignment, democratic commitments, and “third neighbour” partnerships.The Forum also examines how Inner Asian peoples across Russia, Mongolia, and China are affected by militarisation, ethnic stereotyping, state securitisation, and decisions made far from their own communities.Marking MIASU’s 40th anniversary, the Forum revisits long-term Eurasian debates on order-making, including Chinggisid legacies, while addressing contemporary questions of peace diplomacy, military culture, and minority governance.Across five panels, the Forum asks: how are war and peace made, governed, and narrated across Eurasia today, and what can Mongolia and Inner Asian histories contribute to strengthening the conditions for peace?After clicking “Reserve a spot”, you will have the option to book tickets for Day 1, the Day 1 reception, and/or Day 2.Day OneEmpire, Diplomacy, and Mongolia's Place in the Eurasian Order11:00–11:30 – Welcome & Opening RemarksCaroline Humphrey | Founder of MIASUDavid Sneath | Director of MIASUH.E.
