The French: orderly and anarchic, rational and mystical, arrogant and anxious, charming and exasperating, serious and frivolous, pessimistic, pleasure-loving - and perhaps more than any other people, intellectual. In this original and entertaining approach to France and the French, Sudhir Hazareesingh describes how the French ways of thought and life connect to make them such a distinctive nation.
The lecture presents the argument of Adrian Favell's recent book, Immigration, Integration and Mobility: New Agendas in Migration Studies (ECPR Press 2014).
"The focus is on how new internal migrations and mobilities in Europe since the 2000s have disturbed traditional nation-state centred conceptions of immigration and integration. The UK's virulent anti-EU migrant politics ill illustrates this trend."
Poor public resource management and the global financial crisis curbing fundamental fiscal space, millions thrown into poverty, and authoritarian regimes running successful criminal campaigns with the help of financial assistance are all phenomena that raise fundamental questions around finance and human rights. They also highlight the urgent need for more systematic and robust legal and economic thinking about sovereign finance and human rights.
This workshop organised by the Oxford Q-Step Centre* (OQC) brought together key speakers from Oxford and beyond to discuss gender differences in examinations in the context of courses that include quantitative methods. Both undergraduate degrees in Politics, Philosophy and Economics, as well as History and Politics have a gender discrepancy in finals results. However, the reasons for these differences are not well understood. Could they be due to entry requirements, a lack of course work, biased ways of examining or possibly a greater emphasis on quantitative methods?

What is “e-health”? It is necessary to break down the term into sub-components based on the healthcare problems it intends to solve, such as administration, clinical decisionmaking, access to health services, patient autonomy, scientific research, and patient safety. Citizens must be at the centre of European e-health policy.
