Welcome to Cardiff! Dear Conference delegate, I’d like to welcome you to this 63rd Conference of the Political Studies Association, held in Cardiff for the first time and hosted by the University of Cardiff. We are expecting over 600 delegates, representing over 80 different countries, to join us at Cardiff’s historic City Hall. The conference theme is ‘The Party’s Over?’; are the assumptions that have underpinned political life and political analysis sustainable? This subject will most certainly be explored during our Plenary Session ‘Leveson and the Future of Political Journalism’, a debate that has enormous ramifications for the future of UK politics. We will bring together some of the most passionate and eloquent voices on this topic; Chris Bryant MP, Trevor Kavanagh, Mick Hume and Professor Brian Cathcart. This year’s Government and Opposition- sponsored Leonard Schapiro lecture will be given by Professor Donatella Della Porta, who will consider the issue of political violence, the new editor of the American Political Science Review, Professor John Ishiyama, will discuss ‘The Future of Political Science’ and the First Minister of Wales, Carwyn Jones AM, will address attendees at the conference dinner. We will also be launching a redesign of our website, so look out for this! It’s been another busy year at the PSA. We have been working tirelessly to ensure that moves to open access publishing - on the surface an attractive idea - do not produce unintended consequences. We fear these moves may actually end up limiting opportunities, especially for younger academics, to publish innovative and challenging work. That would be a perverse and damaging outcome. We are continuing our work with schools, through our second student video competition, our inaugural poster competition and schools talks from our academics. Numerous top politicians, political scientists and journalists attended our annual awards dinner in December, and we have continued to forge links with the media through our election briefings at the Institute for Government. We have also been working to enhance our relationship with ESRC to ensure a strong place for political studies in UK research funding. Underpinning all of this, we have been exploring new ways to understand the views and priorities of members – in part through surveys of the membership, in part by a programme of visits to departments. All these themes, around the teaching of politics in schools, impact, research funding and member priorities will be under discussion in Cardiff. Do join in and let us know your views. Thanks for organising this year’s conference are especially due to the academic convenors – Professor Roger Scully, Professor Richard Wyn Jones and Dr Stephen Thornton, who have put together a fantastic programme, and to Helena Djurkovic, Louise Bates, Sandra McDonagh and Jack Neenan. I should also like to thank Wiley-Blackwell and Routledge for their generous sponsorship. With over 170 panel sessions reflecting the diversity and pluralism of political studies in the UK, and of course the opportunity to explore the vibrant capital city of Wales, this year’s conference promises plenty to interest, intellectually challenge and entertain. I hope your conference experience is thoroughly enjoyable Professor Charlie Jeffery Chair, Political Studies Association of the United Kingdom Political Studies Association - 63rd Annual International Conference 3 Cardiff, 25 - 27 March 2013 Conference Programme Monday 25 March 2013 08.00-17.30 Registration Entrance Hall 09.00-13.00 Political Studies Association Executive Meeting Room 100 09.30-11.00 Panel Session 1 See page 21 11.00-11.30 Tea/Coffee Assembly Room 11.30-13.00 Panel Session 2 See page 22 13.00-14.00 Lunch Break* 12.30-14.00 PSA Alumni Event Assembly Room Hosted by the Education and Skills subcommittee of the Political Studies Association.

Yet Leveson’s recommendations for a new system of press regulation have been greeted by some as threatening the essential freedom of the press that remains a bedrock of any democratic society. This roundtable brings together some of the most passionate and eloquent voices in a debate that has enormous ramifications for the future of UK politics. 15.30-16.00 Tea/Coffee Assembly Room 16.00-17.30 Panel Session 4 See page 24 16.00-17.30 British Journal of Politics and International Relations Roundtable Ferrier Hall The Role and Future of Political Parties in the UK Chair: Dr Alistair Clark (University of Newcastle) Panellists: Dr Alistair Clark, The Democratic Role of Political Parties; Professor Justin Fisher (Brunel University), Developments in Party Funding and Finance; Dr Lynn Bennie (University of Aberdeen), Parties, Participation and Mobilisation; Dafydd Trystan (Plaid Cymru), Party Politics: the Inside View 4 Political Studies Association - 63rd Annual International Conference Cardiff, 25 - 27 March 2013 17.45-19.00 PSA Annual Leonard Schapiro Lecture Lower Hall (Sponsored by Government and Opposition) Clandestine Political Violence: A Global Comparison Chair: Professor Paul Taggart (University of Sussex) Speaker: Professor Donatella Della Porta (European University Institute) Do acts of political violence like the 9/11 attacks in the US in 2001 and the assassinations of 69 young people on the Utøya Island in Norway in 2011 have something in common? And can they be explained, at least partially, through similar causal mechanisms as the ones singled out in social science research on left-wing Red Brigades or ethno- nationalist ETA? The lecture will present some results from an analysis of different forms of political violence, discussing the heuristic advantages and challenges of global comparison as well as developing a process theory of such phenomena. 19.30-21.00 The Government and Opposition Reception, National Assembly for Wales Cardiff Bay Free bus transport from the conference venue to the Assembly in Cardiff Bay and back will be available (gather in Entrance Hall).

Within political science these pressures have been compounded by criticisms that the discipline has become increasingly detached and disconnected from society and has little social benefit. Others argue that political science has never been more engaged and socially relevant than it is now. This debate has included: concerns about academic independence; arguments concerning the imposition of a crude instrumentalism on scholars; debates focused on what ‘relevance’ means; disputes concerning epistemological and methodological traditions; the measurement and validation of ‘impact’; the training and support structures that need to be established to support academics in ‘reaching out’; and a sometimes bruising debate about the culture of political science and its

Porous: a. full of pores (lit. or fig.); hence of cogn. Porosity: porousness, ns. 1 Ancient Chinese scholars were fascinated with porous rocks that became known as “scholar rocks”. The more richly porous the structures were, balancing air with mass, the more valuable they became. “For the world of Chinese scholars stones has to be a source of inspiration, - mysteriously shrouded in feathery mist – to anyone with an interest in transparency, transformation, immateriality, dynamism, in spectacular surfaces, monoliths, or raw lumps of rock, in minimalist or archaic monuments”. (Ursprung, Phillip 2003: p 111.) Mine also is a fascination with both exoskeleton and its fleshy centre, as a model for the body and architectural minimums, and the idea of architecture being analogous to the mathematical model of the “Sierpensky sponge”. This is a theoretical cube which is infinitely porous and hence: “more than a surface, less than a volume….Its total volume approaches zero, while the total lateral surface of the hollowings infinitely grows.” (Ursprung, Phillip 2003: p 487.) This obsession with dissolving architecture runs hand in hand with the idea that art has a role to play in promoting the adaptive re-use of existing urban structure via new “parasitic forms”.

  • Medals and Awards Gold Medal Recipients
    Medals and Awards Gold Medal Recipients The Gold Medals (Founder’s and Patron’s Medals) originated as an annual gift of fifty guineas from King William IV. It was awarded for the first time in 1831, for the encouragement and promotion of geographical science and discovery. In 1839 the Society decided that this sum should be converted into two gold medals of equal value, to be designated the Founder’s Medal and the Patron’s Medal. Today both Medals are approved by Her Majesty The Queen. Gold Medal recipients are listed in full below: 1832 Founder's Medal - Richard Lander For important services in determining the course and termination of the Niger 1833 Founder's Medal - John Biscoe For his discovery of Graham’s Land and Enderby’s Land in the Antarctic 1834 Founder's Medal - Captain Sir John Ross For his discovery of Boothia Felix and King William Land and for his famous sojourn of four winters in the Arctic 1835 Founder's Medal - Sir Alexander Burnes For his remarkable and important journeys through Persia 1836 Founder's Medal - Captain Sir George Back For his recent discoveries in the Arctic, and his memorable journey down the Great Fish River 1837 Founder's Medal - Captain Robert Fitzroy For his survey of the coasts of South America, from the Rio de la Plata to Guayaquil in Peru 1838 Founder's Medal - Colonel Francis Rawdon Chesney For valuable materials in comparative and physical geography in Syria, Mesopotamia and the delta of Susiana 1839 Founder's Medal - Thomas Simpson For tracing the hitherto unexplored coast of North America Patron's Medal - Dr.

  • One Billion Hungry
    O N E B I L L I O N H U N G R Y: C A N W E F E E D T H E W O R L D? A POLICY BRIEFING GORDON CONWAY AND KATY WILSON O N E B I L L I O N H U N G R Y: C A N W E F E E D T H E W O R L D? One Billion Hungry, explains the many interrelated issues critical to our global food supply from the science of agricultural advances to the politics of food security. It expands the discussion begun in his influentialThe Doubly Green Revolution: Food for All in the Twenty- First Century, emphasizing the essential combination of increased food production, environmental stability, and poverty reduction necessary to end endemic hunger on our planet. One Billion Hungry addresses a series of urgent questions about global hunger: • How we will feed a growing global population in the face of a wide range of adverse factors, including climate change? • What contributions can the social and natural sciences make in finding solutions? • And how can we engage both government and the private sector to apply these solutions and achieve significant impact in the lives of the poor? It succeeds in sharing informed optimism about our collective ability to address these fundamental challenges if we use technology paired with sustainable practices and strategic planning. "In One Billion Hungry, Gordon Conway lays out the formidable challenges we face in feeding the world by 2050 and reminds us why we have reason to be optimistic.
