PAIS Research Award Success

Dr has been awarded a prestigious Research Fellowship by the , which is due to commence on the 1st October 2014 for 12 months.

The Fellowship will allow Dr Holmes to complete a research monograph entitled 'Visions of perfectibility: state, market and alternatives in the formation of economic ideas'. The book will examine the way in which public economic discourse has become trapped within a notion of opposition between state and market, unpacking the history of ideas that gave rise to this situation as a set of ‘visions of perfectibility’. It will observe how state-market opposition has constrained debate on economic management in the post- 2008 landscape, before exploring various sites for re-imagining the purpose of the economy outside of the bounds of state and market.

House of Commons Foreign Affairs Committee Report on The UK’s Response to Extremism in North Africa

Dr and Dr 's research has been cited in the newly released House of Commons Foreign Affairs Committee Report on The UK’s Response to Extremism in North Africa. Citing their written evidence no fewer than three times throughout the report, the committee tied their research to the following policy recommendations:

Addressing terrorism in the Western Sahel-Sahara region comprehensively means addressing the environmental conditions that are allowing it to grow: poverty and inequality, corruption and mis-governance, the pressure of fast-growing populations on depleting natural resources, insufficient cross-border co-operation, and the spread of extremist ideology. This is a huge task requiring international co-operation across a number of disciplines. We [the committee] see signs that development and investment challenges are beginning to be addressed, but are concerned that co-operation on security matters should not be neglected.

We [the Committee] recognise that the UK Government has sought to secure international co-operation, for instance through the communiqué agreed at the 2013 G8 summit. We recommend that the UK Government, in its response to this report, outlines how it proposes to maintain momentum on this issue over the remainder of this Parliament, particularly in relation to security and intelligence co-operation.
