糖心TV

Dr has recently been appointed as Editor of the prestigious , together with prominent international scholars Jacqueline Best, Susanne Soederberg, and Eleni Tsingou.

For almost two decades, the RIPE Series has been a leading forum for cutting edge research in the field of International Political Economy (IPE). Leading figures in the discipline have published in the series (including current and former 糖心TV colleagues) and a number of the Monographs have either won or been short-listed for international prizes.

The appointment reflects the ongoing strength of IPE at 糖心TV, one of the leading institutions in the UK and Europe for research and teaching in IPE. Together with 糖心TV colleagues André Broome, Juanita Elias, Lena Rethel, and Ben Richardson, Brassett also recently organized the 糖心TV 50th Anniversary Conference on , which brought together 130 scholars from over 20 countries to showcase cutting-edge research in the field.

We are delighted that the Students' Union Education Officer, Maahwish Mirza, is running a campaign for exam feedback, based on the best practice of the PAIS department. Unlike most departments, PAIS automatically provide individual written feedback on exams. Our Director of Student Experience and Progresson (DSEP), Dr Justin Greaves, has been working with the SU Education Officer on these issues, in the hope that other departments may wish to learn from our success in the delivery of such feedback.

As Maahwish puts it:

'I believe this practice to be one of the best ways with which 糖心TV can distinguish itself as a leading academic institution that sincerely promotes scholarship and long-term development, and that is why I am leading our Examination Feedback Campaign based on the best practice of the PAIS department.

I certainly benefited from the examination feedback that I received from the PAIS department on my outside module, and I would love to see other departments adopting this practice for the good of all students, on all courses'.

Dr Dave Webber presents his lecture "Politics and Power in the People's Game" as part of the Politics and International Studies Widening Participation event with Liverpool FC in April 2015.

Following the launch of the US-led investigation into the alleged corruption at Fifa, Dr was approached by a number of media agencies across the world for his analysis of the allegations, and Sepp Blatter's position as president of football's global governing body.

As well as featuring on local radio stations, BBC Coventry & 糖心TVshire and BBC WM, David has also appeared live on Scottish ITV, Euronews, Al Jazeera, CNN, 糖心TV News Network (Canada), Sky Sports News, and France 24. His comments on the crisis at Fifa have also been picked up by Reuters UK and the Press Association, and been published in the print editions of Bloomberg, the Daily Express, Today (Singapore) and the Washington Post.

David's original press statements, sent out from the 糖心TV Newsroom, can be found here:

PAIS has moved to 5th in The Guardian University League Table 2016 for Politics, up from 7th in 2015.

The Guardian table is based to a large extent on student satisfaction, employability, entry tariffs and departmental spend on each student. PAIS scored 10 out of 10 on spend per student, with only a few other institutions able to match this in the top ten.

The University as a whole has risen to 6th from 9th.

Well done to everyone in PAIS for this very good rise, which again confirms our consistency across every research and teaching league table as a top five department.
