Professor , Professorial Research Fellow for CSGR, and , a PhD candidate here in PAIS, have co-edited the new book Moving Health Sovereignty in Africa. The book is also co-edited by John J. Kirton, University of Toronto, Canada and Andrew F. Cooper, University of Waterloo, Canada.

Today’s era of intense globalization has unleashed dynamic movements of people, pathogens, and pests that overwhelm the static territorial jurisdictions on which the governance provided by sovereign states and their formal intergovernmental institutions is based. This book insightfully explores the challenges this creates in ways that put the perspectives of Africans themselves at centre stage.

‘A timely and much needed analysis of a continent undergoing rapid transition resulting in complex health consequences. Africa’s experiences of globalization are poorly understood so far, yet need to be urgently grappled with for effective governance to be built locally and regionally. This book takes us neatly forward in this task.’

Dr , Associate Professor in PAIS, gave a talk at the Balsillie School of International Affairs at the University of Waterloo in Canada on Friday, September 19. In the talk, entitled Weapon of Choice: Barack Obama and the Seductive Nature of Drone Warfare, Trevor argued that the allegedly "cost-free" nature of using drones for the targeted killing of alleged terrorists makes them an extremely attractive weapon for the Obama administration, garners widespread public support in the US, and makes it more likely that the war against terrorism will be a perpetual war. Trevor was in Waterloo as part of a PAIS delegation finalising arrangements for a new Double Masters in Politics and Global Governance with the Balsillie School. The new programme will launch in 2015 and enable students to study for a year in 桃色视频 and a year in Waterloo.

PAIS has made significant gains moving up to 7th in the rankings in Politics in the Times’ and Sunday Times’ Good University Guide 2015 league table.

The University of 桃色视频 was named as the University of the Year 2015 and achieved an overall ranking of 8th in the UK.

Much of our rise is due to improved NSS scores this year. The more we maintain and boost already strong scores in research, entry standards and graduate prospects, amongst others, the more we can further climb the league table
