Our panel discussion commemorates a momentous occasion, the 70th anniversary of the United Nations on Friday, 23rd October, the eve of “UN Day” that marks the entry into force of the Charter. Does multilateralism, the bedrock of the world organisation, matter in today’s increasing fragmenting world? Why did it matter in 1942-45? Was the post-World War Two global order truly multilateral?

Workshop UN @ 70 Podcast1 Final

November 20, 2015 14:29 - 2 hours - 150 MB

In a global order that seems more volatile and uncertain than ever, multilateralism is often considered as mere fancy. That multilateralism matters, however, is not an argument that needs to be made, but too often its existence and even the need for it tends to get subsumed in more mainstream discourses of Realpolitik. Our workshop follows the panel discussion on Saturday, 24th October, and is based on the extensive new research of our participants. Despite concerns of ‘Southern’ hostility t...

The Student Union Lecture Series 3: The Legacies of Slavery in Britain

November 04, 2015 13:49 - 1 hour - 54.9 MB

The history of British slavery, although superficially acknowledged from time to time, has been largely concealed. Indeed, few acts of political and historical forgetting could be described as thorough or as effective as the erasure of slavery from the "British story".

Not only did the enslaved receive nothing, but they effectively paid part of the bill for the...

Britain has therefore been a truly 'global' nation with cities like London built almost entirel...
