Ben Clift’s latest article on IMF fiscal thinking, published in a special issue of Policy and Society, explores contradictions in how Fund doctrine navigates turbulent times and survives disruptive challenges.

Ben was interviewed by Mark Blyth for the Rhodes Centre Podcast about the myth of banishing politics through technocratic governance, as explored in his recent OBR book published with OUP.

Professor Heath-Kelly will be joined by speakers from Amnesty, Open Rights Group, Preventwatch and Healing Justice London to launch the new MedAct report: 'Unhealthy Liaisons: NHS Collaboration with the Counter Terrorism Clinical Consultancy Service'.
