Where: Cambridge Public Library, Central Square Branch, 45 Pearl St.

As South Asia stands on the brink of war, possibly even nuclear
conflict, it is imperative that we critically examine the role played by
economic policies imposed by international financial institutions on South
Asia in intensifying poverty and environmental degradation, and
consequently, destabilizing the region further.
