    Giving Thought discussion paper no. 5 Do as I say, not as I do: UK policy and the global closing space for civil society: a 2017 update December 2016 January 2017 1 About Giving Thought Giving Thought is the Charities Aid Foundation’s think tank. We consider the key challenges and opportunities facing civil society organisations and those who support them, as well as examining wider policy issues through the lens of philanthropy. Our work provides insight and stimulates debate. We aim to engage with and influence researchers, practitioners and policymakers from the not-for-profit sector, government, academia and the public and private sectors. About the Charities Aid Foundation (CAF) Charities Aid Foundation (CAF) is a leading international civil society organisation (CSO). Our mission is to motivate society to give ever more effectively and help transform lives and communities around the world. We work to stimulate philanthropy, social investment and the effective use of charitable funds by offering a range of specialist financial services to CSOs and donors, and through advocating for a favourable public policy environment. About this report This report is an updated version of a report of the same title published by CAF in April 2016 to coincide with an official visit from Maina Kiai, UN Special Rapporteur on the rights to peaceful assembly and of association (a follow-up visit to his 2013 review), who spoke about the closing space for civil society at Parliamentary event hosted by CAF. That report sought to raise awareness of the impact that UK policy - given position of leadership and long history of cultivating civil society - could have on the closing space for civil society globally.

    UNIVERSIDAD DE SEVILLA LA EVASIÓN EN THE HOUSE OF COMMONS Y EL CONGRESO DE LOS DIPUTADOS: UN ESTUDIO INTERCULTURAL TESIS DOCTORAL DIRECTORA: DRA. ISABEL MARÍA ÍÑIGO MORA AUTOR: DERYCK JOHN BARKER FRASER Fdo. Dra. Isabel María Íñigo Mora Fdo. Deryck John Barker Fraser SEVILLA 2015 To my very dear son, Juan José. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to express my sincere and heartfelt gratitude, first and foremost, to the director of this doctoral thesis, my tutor and very close friend, Dr. Isabel María Íñigo Mora, who must receive all of the credit for proposing the title of this dissertation, and for suggesting the corpus upon which it is based. She generously spent a great deal of her precious time giving me assistance, advice and encouragement, without which this piece of work would not have been produced. In addition to devoting a great number of hours providing me with suggestions on how to plan this essay, she unselfishly took the trouble to read and correct the entire thesis, and even to advise me on how to rewrite several paragraphs. Her patience with me knew no bounds, despite my ignorance of administrative matters, absent-mindedness, and numerous foibles and mistakes. She lent, and more often than not, gave me a great amount of bibliographical material, including numerous articles and books, and even had the kindness to provide me with copies of any important material available on the internet. She was, in fact, a library on wheels. Most importantly, she has always kept me informed about developments in the English Language Department of the University of Seville.
