Churchill, Oxford physicists and the Bomb

Series
Oxford Physics Public Lectures
Embed
Physics Colloquium 30th May delivered by Graham Farmelo
Winston Churchill foresaw the nuclear age over a decade before it arrived and was the first national leader to agree to the development of nuclear weapons. His friend and advisor Frederick Lindemann, an Oxford professor of physics, exerted considerable influence on his thinking about nuclear weapons and nuclear power. In this talk, I discuss the surprisingly large role that Churchill played in nuclear history and the notion that he was the first politician to be a nuclear visionary.

FMR 46 From the editors

Series
Afghanistan's displaced people (Forced Migration Review 46)
Embed
From the editors
2014 is widely seen as marking a watershed for Afghanistan with its legacy of 35 years of conflict and one of the world’s largest populations in protracted displacement. International military forces are being withdrawn and the country is ‘in transition’, and there is still considerable uncertainty about the capacity of the country to address the challenges of return, integration and reintegration, protection, access to rights, and continuing displacement. FMR 46 contains 21 articles on Afghanistan, plus a mini-feature on Statelessness.

Shaming Nations? What works and why in the fight against money laundering and terrorism financing?

Series
Oxford Centre for the Study of Corruption and Transparency
Embed
The seminar examined the Financial Action Task Force's (FATF) compliance-inducing mechanisms based on an analysis of its naming and shaming practices.
The seminar further focused on the implementation of anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing standards in the United States, the United Kingdom and Italy in order to contend that the Task Force’s success in getting countries to comply with its 40 Plus 9 Recommendations can be explained by looking at the conformity-inducing group pressures that the Task Force generates for states that are concerned about status markers and shame avoidance.
