Through the activities of the Appeal we have been able to establish a number of new activities. Last year saw the launch of both the Competition Law Forum and the Data Protection Research and Policy Group, and the establishment of the Company Law Centre. The Dorset Fellow in Public International Law is funded for five years. Our successes have encouraged us that there is strong support for the Institute both within the profession and beyond. It is evident that there is much that the Institute could achieve, given the funds and opportunity to do so. It is to this end that the Institute has established a Development Board to continue to look at ways in which the Institute can increase its activity and develop its role as the leading institute for international and comparative law. The Development Appeal and Development Board aim is to increase the funding of ongoing activities of the Institute.

  • Academic Chairs for Africa Proposal Review
    GLOBAL KNOWLEDGE AND GLOBAL HEALTH BUILDING AFRICA’S CAPACITY AFRICA RESEARCH CHAIRS “ Higher education is a cross cutting theme that contributes to meeting the goals that contributes to meeting the goals of these sector development programs. Therefore, if one is interested in agricultural growth, one should be interested in HE. If one is interested in better health outcomes, one should be interested in HE. The same can be said for environmental, governance, and alleviating poverty goals … . In sum, higher education builds the fundamental capacity to address national problems, drive economic development, reduce poverty and create social stability. Investing in HE for HE’s sake is not the goal. Rather, investments in HE help to develop essential human and institutional capacity to respond to challenges faced in developing countries on all fronts.” Earl Kellogg, and Anne-Claire Hervy, Africa-US Higher Education Initiative 2010 Global Knowledge & Global Health Building Africa’s Capacity ACADEMIC CHAIRS FOR AFRICA ———————————————— A PROPOSAL MARCH 3, 2010 The suggested concept is a timely and very worthy initiative and I would be pleased to lend my support towards strengthening African faculties and reversing the continent’s brain drain.

    Rule and Resistance Beyond the Nation State / Anderl / Open Access PDF from Rowman & Littlefield Rule and Resistance Beyond the Nation State Rule and Resistance Beyond the Nation State / Anderl / Open Access PDF from Rowman & Littlefield Resistance Studies: Critical Engagements with Power and Social Change Series editors: Mikael Baaz, Mona Lilja, Sara Motta, Louiza Odysseos, and Stellan Vinthagen Resistance appears in many different shapes and forms. It is about form- ing assemblies, engaging in collective and/or individual protests, involves delay tactics or direct oppositions, refusals to collaborate or the creation of alternatives—and much more. It involves power relations, violence and reshaping our political, physical and social environments. Practices of resis- tance might be played out by individuals or groups in local, national or inter- national spaces and embrace activities, which are to be seen as constructive, productive, emotional, invisible, grand, hindering or up-scaled. It might chal- lenge, redirect, subvert, mitigate or evade mechanisms and manifestations of power; it might even produce new forms of power. It permeates all that we recognise as culture, material settings and the very conditions of human exis- tence, such as, life and death. And, it seems to be one of the most important engines of social change. To cover all these aspects of resistance, the Resis- tance studies series publishes original research on a wide range of issues, such as, subversive emotions, revolutionary struggles, political subjectivities, pre-

    ANNUALANNUAL REVIEW REVIEW 2016 JANUARY 2018 © SIR CAM SIR © INTRODUCTION The Cambridge Commonwealth, European and International Trust is the largest provider of funding for students at the University of Cambridge, engaging actively with all Schools, Departments and Colleges. The Trust supports the University’s mission in nurturing talent, by removing the economic barriers which may face students who are offered places, and during its thirty-year history of offering scholarships has helped nearly 18,000 students to undertake degrees at the University of Cambridge. Acting as an independent charitable body, the Trust recognises and rewards excellence, enabling talented students to benefit from the outstanding educational and research opportunities offered at the University of Cambridge. It offers support to students irrespective of their economic or social background. Each year the Trust welcomes around 400 new students, and at any one time there are around 1,200 young people from across the world studying in Cambridge with financial support from the Trust. The CAMBRIDGE TRUST ANNUAL REVIEW 2018 REVIEW ANNUAL TRUST CAMBRIDGE majority of these are taking Masters or PhD degrees, but the Trust also supports a number of international undergraduates. The Trust is governed by a board of distinguished Trustees selected for their skills and experience in order to guide the work of the Trust, and its Patron is His Royal Highness The Prince of Wales. Management of the Trust is delegated to a team of fourteen staff, led by a Director. This third edition of the Review presents our achievements over the past year, none of which would have been possible without the support of the many partners with whom the Trust works, both within Cambridge and in the wider world.
