Background
“Insight BRI Talk” is a series of seminars organized by Student Association of Belt and Road Initiative (SABRI). It aims to give participants a more intuitive understanding of countries along the Belt and Road and a more comprehensive and in-depth understanding of the positive impact of the Belt and Road initiative.
The COVID-19 outbreak exacerbated the hitherto tension between states and also non-state actors with insofar enfeebled international collective security system, hence stirring concerns and contentions about factors that may cause or have already trigerred conflicts.
“Conflict” has again become an increasingly important and urgent topic in both academia and political practices. For university students and youth professionals, understanding conflicts and conflict resolution approaches would be benefitial in both deepening academic research and facing real world.
