PSA Awards 2008 POLITICAL STUDIES ASSOCIATION AWARDS 2008 25 NOVEMBER 2008 Institute of Directors, 116 Pall Mall, London SW1Y 5ED A W ARDSï 2 004 Welcome It is an honour and pleasure to welcome you to the 2008 Political Studies Association Awards. I have recently taken over as Chair of the Association from Jon Tonge, who helped to establish the Awards ceremony as a regular calendar event. It is now in its seventh year. The Political Studies Association is the main association in the UK responsible for developing and promoting political studies, both as an intellectual field and as a profession. After the American Political Science Association, it is the second largest such association in the world. The Awards ceremony is an opportunity for the PSA to highlight and celebrate academics, journalists and politicians who have made an outstanding contribution to public political life, analysis and debate in the preceding year. Each year, as interest in the Awards ceremony has grown, the numbers of individuals nominated for the different categories of award have increased. This has made the task of the jurors more challenging, but we are satisfied that this year’s awards are extremely well earned. In these times of global political and economic turbulence the importance of clear dispassionate analysis, honest and informative reporting and courageous political leadership has never been clearer. The individuals to be honoured today exemplify these virtues. We are once more indebted to a range of contributors for the effort and enterprise that has made the Awards ceremony possible. Firstly we must thank members of the awards jury and in particular Professor Lord Bhikhu Parekh who hosted the jurors’ meeting and Dr Katharine Adeney who chaired it. Thanks, too, to James Naughtie who has again taken on the role of Master of Ceremonies; to those in the PSA National Office, especially Sue Forster, and Simon Coote of Alive Events who have worked so hard to ensure organizational continuity of the event; and to Ipsos MORI who, in collaboration with the PSA, have conducted the poll on ‘The best American President’. Finally thanks to Wiley-Blackwell, Routledge and the Economic and Social Research Council for their very generous sponsorship of this year’s ceremony. Warmest congratulations to our winners and we hope that you all enjoy today’s proceedings.

Cameron has still to work with and through ministers from his own party, but has also to work with and through Liberal Democrat ministers; not least the Liberal Democrat leader Nick Clegg. The relationship between the prime minister and his deputy is unchartered territory for recent academic study of the British prime minister. This article explores how Cameron and Clegg operate within both Whitehall and Westminster: the cabinet arrangements; the prime minister’s patronage, advisory resources and more informal mechanisms.

Books: Yuval Harari - 21 Lessons for the 21st Century – from the author of the superb history bestseller, “Sapiens”. This book looks at the present and the future. “There is surely no one alive who is better at explaining our world than Yuval Noah Harari - he is the lecturer we all wish we’d had at university. Reading this book, I must have interrupted my partner a hundred times to pass on fascinating things I’d just read.” Adam Kaye Owen Jones – “The Establishment” – “Behind our democracy lurks a powerful but unaccountable network of people who wield massive power and reap huge profits in the process.” Hardly impartial, but an interesting viewpoint.

  • 1 Why Media Researchers Don't Care About Teletext
    1 Why Media Researchers Don’t Care About Teletext Hilde Van den Bulck & Hallvard Moe Abstract This chapter tackles the paradoxical observation that teletext in Europe can look back on a long and successful history but has attracted very little academic interest. The chapter suggests and discusses reasons why media and commu- nications researchers have paid so little attention to teletext and argue why we should not ignore it. To this end, it dissects the features of teletext, its history, and contextualizes these in a discussion of media research as a field. It first discusses institutional (sender) aspects of teletext, focusing on the perceived lack of attention to teletext from a political economic and policy analysis perspective. Next, the chapter looks at the characteristics of teletext content (message) and reasons why this failed to attract the attention of scholars from a journalism studies and a methodological perspective. Finally, it discusses issues relating to the uses of teletext (receivers), reflecting on the discrepancy between the large numbers of teletext users and the lack of scholarly attention from traditions such as effect research and audience studies. Throughout, the chapter points to instances in the development of teletext that constitute so- called pre-echoes of debates that are considered pressing today. These issues are illustrated throughout with the case of the first (est.1974) and, for a long time, leading teletext service Ceefax of the BBC and the wider development of teletext in the UK. Keywords: teletext, communication studies, research gaps, media history, Ceefax, BBC Introduction When we first started thinking about a book on teletext, a medium that has been very much part of people’s everyday lives across Europe for over forty years, we were surprised by the lack of scholarly attention or even interest.

  • Boycotts and Sanctions Against South Africa: an International History, 1946-1970
    Boycotts and Sanctions against South Africa: An International History, 1946-1970 Simon Stevens Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2016 © 2016 Simon Stevens All rights reserved ABSTRACT Boycotts and Sanctions against South Africa: An International History, 1946-1970 Simon Stevens This dissertation analyzes the role of various kinds of boycotts and sanctions in the strategies and tactics of those active in the struggle against apartheid in South Africa. What was unprecedented about the efforts of members of the global anti-apartheid movement was that they experimented with so many ways of severing so many forms of interaction with South Africa, and that boycotts ultimately came to be seen as such a central element of their struggle. But it was not inevitable that international boycotts would become indelibly associated with the struggle against apartheid. Calling for boycotts and sanctions was a political choice. In the years before 1959, most leading opponents of apartheid both inside and outside South Africa showed little interest in the idea of international boycotts of South Africa. This dissertation identifies the conjuncture of circumstances that caused this to change, and explains the subsequent shifts in the kinds of boycotts that opponents of apartheid prioritized. It shows that the various advocates of boycotts and sanctions expected them to contribute to ending apartheid by a range of different mechanisms, from bringing about an evolutionary change in white attitudes through promoting the desegregation of sport, to weakening the state’s ability to resist the efforts of the liberation movements to seize power through guerrilla warfare.
