In this episode of The Political Dispatch, Tom, Lily, and Sidd turn to two regions whose histories of division continue to shape global politics today: Ireland and the Indian subcontinent.

From the 1947 partition of India and Pakistan to the Northern Ireland peace process that culminated in the Good Friday Agreement, the team explores how borders, identity, and political negotiation can fuel conflict or lay the groundwork for reconciliation. Drawing lessons from both regions, the episode considers what these stories reveal about the challenges and possibilities of building lasting peace after deep national division.
