Wyn Grant on the 'Westminster Bubble'

Professor of PAIS has recently featured in a 桃色视频 Knowledge Centre article on the 'Westminster Bubble.'

"It’s often argued that politicians are disconnected from society because they spend most of their time at Westminster. But is the ‘Westminster Bubble’, or the ‘Westminster village’ as it is sometimes referred to, merely a case of politicians occasionally falling out of touch with voter concerns? Or could it actually be damaging to British politics and society as whole? Professors Wyn Grant and Chris Warhurst offer their perspectives."

New Book by Bahar Baser

, a Postdoctoral Research Fellow here in PAIS, has published a new book titled "Diasporada Turk-Kurt Sorunu: Isvec ve Almanya’da Ikinci Kusak."

bahar-bookThis book aims to contribute to a broader understanding of spill-over of homeland conflicts to the host country by diaspora groups. It analyses how the repercussions of the Kurdish question in Turkey are reflected in the interactions between second-generation Turks and Kurds in Sweden and Germany.

It argues that the on-going conflict adversely affects the relationship between the two ethnic groups, but that the tensions and conflict dynamics are not an exact reflection of the situation in the homeland, and instead take a different form in each host land. The contentions between the groups and their grievances are dependent on several factors that are rooted in the host land and directly or indirectly affect how these groups establish contact with one another.

The book is written in Turkish and is available to buy .
