Knowledge Centre articles
The Knowledge Centre at Warwick has been publishing articles written by PAIS staff over the last several months when the KC was in its pilot stages. Now that all of the articles have stable permanent links, we will be posting links to a few articles each week on the PAIS site until the full backlog of PAIS contributions to the KC have been publicised here.
You will notice that some of the articles are timely--or were, when originally published--and that some are more general observations and reports based on current events and current research in PAIS.
During this time, and after the backlog is cleared, we will also post links to all new articles contributed by PAIS staff as they are posted on the KC site.
Meanwhile, you can browse all of the KC articles published to date by visiting the Knowledge Centre website.

TEN YEARS OF 9/11

Consider the actions of the Bush Administration at Guantanamo Bay, and the global rise of the far right. As we reach the tenth anniversary of the attacks, Professor Stuart Croft reflects on a decade of conflict, and asks if we are finally entering a new era.

Teaching Political Economy workshop hosted at Warwick
The Teaching Political Economy workshop provided a unique forum to discuss pedagogy in the discipline. It featured presentations from Kees van der Pijl (Sussex), Matthew Watson (Warwick), Richard Woodward (Hull) and Earl Gammon (UEA) on the content and delivery of political economy courses. The University of Warwick's Institute for Advanced Teaching and Learning also led a session on teaching innovations. In total, 37 academics attended from twenty higher education institutions. The audio recordings of these presentations will be uploaded to the website of the International Political Economy Group (IPEG) of BISA, along with course outlines that the participants brought along with them to share. The workshop was supported with generous funding from the politics departments at Warwick, Manchester and Sheffield, as well as IPEG itself.
