- Religion, Politics and Development: Lessons from the Lands of Islam
-
The question as to whether religion can block economic development and institutional change, or is a purely endogenous factor, assumes particular importance today because of the rise of Islamist movements and the disappointing economic performances in the lands of Islam. This paper starts from a critical examination of the thesis of Bernard Lewis according to which the lack of separation between religion and politics creates particular difficulties on the way to modern economic growth in these lands.

- The Rise of the East: what does it mean for Development Studies?
-
The paper starts by highlighting the rise of the East, focusing in particular on the growth and transformation of China. It then distinguishes between four broad strands of Development Studies and shows how each strand is affected by the rise of the East. It concludes by discussing the need for a new vocabulary to make sense of the new world and - closely related to this - the need to break through a psychological barrier: analysing how the former 'periphery' is driving change in the 'centre'.

- U8 Global Student Partnership for development
-
The U8 is a student-led global university network. It provides a neutral platform for students to learn, share ideas and make a positive impact on the least developed parts of the world. We believe that students, engendered with a methodology for enquiry and informed action, are well-placed to make a difference in the world.
