Is Liberalism the Enemy?
Many contemporary appeals to the common good are couched within the critique of liberalism in political thought and neo-liberalism in economics. Situating the common good in opposition to liberalism is in danger of misunderstanding the concept and its theological usage. This lecture challenges the supposed polarisation and argues that liberal principles can be defended in terms of common goods.
Do Companies have Human Rights? - The Emerging Jurisprudence in Regional Courts
Since companies are not people who “live and breathe”, some academic commentators categorically refuse their quality as human rights holders. The process of “dehumanisation of human rights” is associated with the danger of entrenching corporate privileges. The seminar deals with this question analysing the different perspectives of regional economic courts and regional human rights courts.

The Economics of Biodiversity Review
On the 2nd February 2021 The Economics of Biodiversity: The Dasgupta Review was published, an independent, global review on the Economics of Biodiversity led by Professor Sir Partha Dasgupta.
"We are facing a global crisis. We are totally dependent upon the natural world. It supplies us with every oxygen-laden breath we take and every mouthful of food we eat. But we are currently damaging it so profoundly that many of its natural systems are now on the verge of breakdown."
David Attenborough writes in the foreword of the The Economics of Biodiversity: The Dasgupta Review.
