What's New

Graduate Students’ Professional Training

Professor Ben Ansell has taken on the role of the Department’s Director of Graduate Students’ Professional Training. His responsibility will be to help graduate students prepare for the realities of working professionally in academia. One example of what this is entails is a recent afternoon session that Ben held on 11th June entitled Preparation for Academic Practice. This covered a range of aspects of preparing for the future: with sessions on jobs in academic life; publishing books and journal articles; conference attendance and organization and networking, as well as an opportunity for students to ask questions and discuss answers. Watch this space for more from Ben on this crucial area of graduate education!

Graduate Film Society

The DPIR Film Society kicked off this term's programme with Hany Abu-Assad's gripping, fast-paced drama: 'Paradise Now' (2005), the first Palestinian film to receive an Academy Award Nomination. This also was presented with an introduction from Dr Noa Schonmann, a Fellow in Politics, Pembroke College, who specialises in the field of Middle East studies. In Nablus, a city in the northern West Bank, Said and Khaled, who have volunteered to be suicide bombers, receive word it will be tomorrow -- the cell's first operation in two years. They're shaven and shorn, dressed in black suits to pose as settlers in Tel Aviv for a wedding. Something goes wrong at the crossing, they're separated, and the action is postponed, long enough for renewed questioning of what they're about to do. Suha, the well-educated and well-travelled daughter of a martyr, challenges the action. She likes Said and has her own ideas. "Under the occupation, we're already dead," is Khaled's analysis. Fate and God's will seem to drive Said. We must be moral, argues Suha. Can minds change? You can watch a trailer here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xi9yiGePxKw This was followed on 22nd May by a screening of Raoul Peck’s ‘Lumumba’ (2000), with an introduction from Dr Julia Amos, Peter J Braam Junior Research Fellow in Global Wellbeing at Merton College, whose research is on civil war, investigating the impact of how non-state armed groups are organised on how such conflicts can best be countered and resolved. Made in the tradition of such true-life political thrillers as Malcolm X and JFK, Raoul Peck’s award-winning epic dramatizes the rise and fall of legendary African leader Patrice Lumumba. When the Congo declared its independence from Belgium in 1960, the 36-year-old Lumumba became the first Prime Minister of the newly independent state but would last just months in office before being brutally assassinated. Watch the trailer here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iLh4LGadxoU On 5th June, Dr Hugo Slim (ELAC) presented ‘Pray the Devil Back to Hell’ (2008). ‘Pray the Devil Back to Hell’ is a documentary film directed by Gini Reticker. It chronicles the remarkable story of the courageous Liberian women who came together to end a bloody civil war and bring peace to their shattered country. Their demonstrations culminated in the exile of Charles Taylor and the election of Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, Africa's first female head of state, and marked the vanguard of a new wave of women taking control of their political destiny around the world.

The film premiered at the 2008 Tribeca Film Festival, where it won the award for Best Documentary. It is part of a ground-breaking special series WOMEN, WAR & PEACE, which aired in 2011 on PBS in the US. Plans for a worldwide global outreach campaign in 2012 are now underway. Dr Hugo Slim is a leading international academic in humanitarian studies. His work has a particular focus on the ethics of war, the protection of civilians and the morality and practice of humanitarian action.

Latest news from Politics In Spires

The latest special series from the Oxford DPIR and Cambridge POLIS blog is entitled: Co-ops and Mutuals: a better way? A debate is emerging in the UK and elsewhere about the possible role of cooperatives and mutuals in building a better economy. But what makes for good performance by a co-op or mutual? What values should enterprises of this kind seek to embody or promote? How can they do it? These questions are, in part, questions about the underlying moral and political philosophy of co-operativism and mutualism. A British Academy-funded research project, currently being run at Kellogg College’s Centre for Mutual and Employee-Owned Business, aims to explore these questions and develop a framework for evaluating cooperative and mutual performance. The research team would like to know what you think of their ideas. We invite your comments below each article. You can find out more about this series by clicking here: http://politicsinspires.org/special-series/co-ops-and-mutuals/

Clarendon Lectures in Management Studies 2014, Saïd Business School, Oxford Tuesday 29 April, Wednesday 30 April and Thursday 1 May

Professor Mauro Guillen – The Architecture of Collapse: The Global System in the 21st Century

Oxford University Press and the Saïd Business School hosted the Clarendon Lectures in

Management Studies 2014.

Professor Mauro Guillen, Director of the Joseph H. Lauder Institute at the Wharton School,

University of Pennsylvania, presented a series of three lectures entitled The Architecture of

Collapse: The Global System in the 21st Century at the Saïd Business School, Oxford on Tuesday

29 April, Wednesday 30 April and Thursday 1 May.

The global system is both highly structured and predictable. And yet, crises and other episodes of

abrupt change do occur rather frequently. These three lectures will develop a new theoretical

framework to think about the evolution of the global system in terms of its interactive

complexity and degree of coupling. These two variables will be examined at the level of the

global network of nation-states, and within countries. Economic, political and social factors will

be taken into consideration when it comes to assessing the structure of the global system and its

evolution over time. The lectures will show how management theory and organizational

sociology can be used to understand dynamics at the global level.

Guillen’s three lectures were:

Complexity and Coupling in the Global System Tuesday 29 April

Two Intriguing Cases of Complexity & Coupling: The Eurozone and the U.S./China Relationship Wednesday 30 April

Isomorphism, Impermeability, and Institutional Diversity Thursday 1 May

The Fourth Annual Oxford Fulbright Distinguished Lecture in International Relations Friday 23 May 2014

Professor Joseph E. Stiglitz (Columbia University) delivered the Fourth Annual Oxford Fulbright Distinguished Lecture on International Relations at the University of Oxford on 23 May 2014 on 'Causes and Consequences of Growing Inequality - and what can be done about it'. In the lecture Professor Stiglitz discussed the growing levels of inequality in societies like the United States and Britain, why inequality is a problem, and how the levels of inequality can be reduced. The event was hosted by the Vice-Chancellor of the University of Oxford, in association with the US-UK Fulbright Commission, the Embassy of the United States of America, Pembroke College and the Lois Roth Endowment.

‘Thirty Years of Makeovers in UK Central Government – Did it Work Better and Cost

Less?’ given by Christopher Hood, Gladstone Professor of Government

Drawing on Leverhulme-funded research to be presented in a forthcoming book, Christopher Hood looked at what happened to UK central government during thirty years of makeovers ostensibly designed to improve efficiency and services to users. Together with Dr Ruth Dixon, Christopher Hood looked at how government costs and public satisfaction changed over that time. Does the observed pattern suggest that in executive government, as in other things in life, ‘you get what you pay for’? Does it bear out the hopes and expectations of the reformers that costs can be cut and better service provided at the same time, or the views of their pessimistic critics? What lessons might be drawn for future reforms?

Inaugural Lecture: ‘What is Israel Studies?’ Tuesday 3 June 2014

Professor Derek J Penslar, Stanley Lewis Professor of Israel Studies, delivered his inaugural lecture entitled 'What is Israel Studies', co-hosted by the School of Interdisciplinary Area Studies, the Department of Politics and International Relations, and St Anne's College. Over the past decade, faculty positions in Israel Studies have been created at universities throughout the English-speaking world. This burst of growth has been fed in part by serious academic interest in a small yet highly visible country and in part by political controversies surrounding the country and the way it is represented on university campuses. The proliferation of Israel Studies positions has, ironically, only intensified those controversies. This lecture discussed what it means for Israel Studies to be an academic discipline and how it can best be integrated into the university environment. The lecture demonstrates the contributions Israel Studies can make to public discussion about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and its possible resolution. At the same time, it argues that scholarship on Israel must have a life of its own and must not be boxed in by political dictates or mobilized in the service of a moral cause.

Ms Hannah Bond - Undergraduate Studies Coordinator

Ms Rebecca Edwards – Administrative Assistant, Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism

The Department would like to welcome the following new visitors:

Professor Cecilia Albin – Uppsala University (VRF)

Mr Yevgen Lantsuzovskyy – Catholic University of Eichstatt-Ingolstadt (VDS)

Ms Salome Minesashvili – Tbilisi State University (VDS)

Dr Victor Teo – University of Hong Kong (VRF)

Professor David Weinstein – Wake Forest University (VRF)

Profiles: Beverly Loke

I started my new position as Marie Curie Postdoctoral Research Fellow in International Relations in February 2014, after completing a PhD in International Relations from the Australian National University. My research interests revolve around great power responsibility, international order and the international relations of the Asia-Pacific, and I have published on these areas in Diplomacy & Statecraft, Australian Journal of International Affairs (co-authored with Professor William Tow) and Asian Security. Currently, I am focusing on two main projects. The first is a project entitled Power and Region in a Multipolar Order (PRIMO), which involves a global network of institutions investigating the emergence of regional powers and its impact on international politics. Oxford’s role in this collaborative project is to develop a conceptual and analytical framework for the systematic study of emerging powers and I am very privileged to be working for Professor Andrew Hurrell here in DPIR. At present, I am working on a ‘state of the field’ review article on power and a co-authored article on the power-value nexus in global governance. I will also be contributing to several workshops and doctoral training sessions, and I am looking forward to travelling to Hamburg for some of these! The second project involves turning my doctoral research into a book manuscript. My PhD thesis takes as its starting point the need to unpack great power responsibility and explore how great powers understand the concept. It investigates how China and the United States have conceptualised, responded to and practiced notions of great power responsibility, and examines to what extent

D P I R S T U D E N T N E W S W I R E , T R I N I T Y T E R M 2 0 1 4

Page 13

their understandings have converged or diverged. I historicise the question of responsibility and analyse three critical junctures in the context of US-China relations and order-building endeavours: institutional construction during World War II; institutional accommodation in the Cold War; and institutional renovation in the post-Cold War. Everyone has been most welcoming and I look forward to meeting even more members of the department and the university during my time here.
