This event will see DPIR's incoming Montague Burton Professor elect. Neta Crawford launching her new book 'The Pentagon, Climate Change, and War: Charting the Rise and Fall of U.S. Military Emissions', in a discussion with Professor Oliver Belcher (Durham University) and Professor Jan Selby (Sheffield University).

The book explores how the Pentagon became the world’s largest single greenhouse gas emitter and why it’s not too late to break the link between national security and fossil fuel consumption.

Following the recent publication of her book Transnational Advocacy in the Digital Era, Think Global, Act Local, Dr Nina Hall joins Emily Jones to discuss how mass digital mobilisation through digital advocacy organisations is rapidly shaping public opinion on a range of transnational policy issues.

Debt is an economic concept that has shaped everything, from religious beliefs and moral values to political ideologies. In recent years, it has been considered by scholars (Graeber 2011, Lazzarato 2011, Stimilli, 2015) as a prominent category through which to analyse the relationship between global governance and individual lives. The complexity of the current phenomenon of debt has led scholars from different disciplines to challenge traditional understandings of debt and investigate new ways of conceiving it.
