Can Peace Without Democracy Work? RUSI experts discuss the rise of illiberal peacebuilding in the Middle East and what it means for UK foreign policy. In this episode of Global Security Briefing, host Neil Melvin is joined by RUSI Senior Research Fellow for Middle East Security Dr. Burcu Ozcelik, Dr Claire Smith, Deputy Associate Dean for the Faculty of Social Sciences and the Faculty Director of Postgraduate Research, University of York, and Dr Rana Khalaf, Research Consultant and non-resident fellow at the University of St Andrews, to examine how authoritarian approaches to conflict management are reshaping the post-war landscape in the Middle East. The panel explores the rise of illiberal peace - where stability is pursued through top-down control, elite deals, and the exclusion of dissent. From Syria and Egypt to Libya and Iraq, the episode considers how this model is gaining traction among domestic regimes and international actors alike. The discussion also reflects on the risks of prioritising order over democratic values and asks whether Western interventions have contributed to similar outcomes. Looking ahead, the team assesses what this shift means for the UK's role in a region where peace increasingly comes without democracy.

This talk explores the significance of communal efforts in capturing history by focusing on the concept of "community archives," that is, archives created by and for groups within a given community who seek to take a more active role in jointly preserving the documentation of their shared past. Through talks presented by two noted scholars in this field, this event will look at how this emerging movement in archives has evolved internationally, as well as examine case studies from the Gulf, with the hope of facilitating discussion about the potential for community archives in the UAE. Speakers Andrew Flinn, Reader in Archival Studies and Oral History, Vice Dean for Postgraduate Research, Faculty Graduate Tutor, Faculty of Arts and Humanities, University College London Sumayya Ahmed, Assistant Professor in Archives at the School of Library and Information Science, Simmons University

She is a qualified social worker and, has worked in local authority children and families social work and has retained this interest in her research and teaching. Claudia joined Goldsmiths in 1994 and previously held a lectureship at the university of Portsmouth. We focus on her new book 'Intersectionality', Claudia shares how the book came to being and her initial ambivalence in writing it which later became something she had to do in view of current circumstances - the murder of George Floyd and the impact of COVID -19 upon marginalised groups.   Claudia has published widely in child abuse and neglect and in equality and diversity issues in social work education.  Her general interests lie in the areas of social work with children and families, gender-based violence, critical race theory, equalities and social justice. Claudia teaches on courses at undergraduate and postgraduate levels and also leads the PhD programme in the Department. As an educator and researcher, her primary interests are in delivering the highest quality of social work education, and in developing students' research-mindedness for research-informed practice.

Ira Pastor, ideaXme exponential health ambassador, interviews Professor Dr. Frank Rühli, Director of the Institute of Evolutionary Medicine and on the Medical Faculty of University of Zurich, and Founding Director, Chair, Full Professor of Evolutionary Medicine. Ira Pastor Comments: Famous prominent Russian-American geneticist and evolutionary biologist, Theodosius Dobzhansky, stated in a 1973 essay that “Nothing in biology makes sense except in the light of evolution." When one applies this principle to medical research, it suggests that if you study only the proximal causes of health and disease (pathophysiology), you get a limited picture, and such dynamics could be better understood within an evolutionary framework. While traditional biomedical research is often concerned with pathophysiology, it is the relatively new science of evolutionary medicine that seeks to link human pathology with our past, present, and future evolutionary trajectories. Combining the study of proximal and distal reasons underpinning medical disorders yields a deeper understanding that may help to improve the ways diseases are screened for, treated, or prevented. Professor Dr. Frank Rühli: Professor Dr. Frank Rühli, is Director of the Institute of Evolutionary Medicine and on the Medical Faculty of University of Zurich, and Founding Director, Chair, Full Professor of Evolutionary Medicine. In addition to being the director of the institute he is also Head of the Paleopathology and Mummy Studies Group, as well as Head of the Museum‚ Medical Collection and Human Remains Group. Prof. Dr. Rühli studied Medicine at the University of Zurich and did Postgraduate Research to undertake a PhD at the Biological Anthropology and Comparative Anatomy Research Unit, Anatomical Sciences, University of Adelaide (Australia). He has a broad research domain including - Evolutionary Medicine, Paleopathology / Disease Evolution, Microevolution of Anatomical Norm Variations and Pathologies / Clinical Anatomy, Diagnostic Imaging of Ancient Mummies, as well as the biological standard of living and state of health of Swiss Armed Forces. He is Associated Editor, Editor and Editor–in-Chief of seven peer-reviewed journals: Evolution, Medicine and Public Health, Journal of Evolutionary Medicine, Homo - Journal of Comparative Human Biology, Journal of Biological and Clinical Anthropology, Yearbook of Mummy Studies, and Swiss Review of Military and Disaster Medicine. On this fascinating show we will hear from Dr. Ruhli: About his background and how he developed an interest in science, medicine, and the unique intersection with the study of evolutionary biology. The principle of "Micro-Evolution" and the fact that humans (Homo-Sapiens) "evolve" every day. His unique study of human mummies and application towards understanding our health "past." Evolutionary medicine insights for human diseases such metabolic disorders (including hypercholesterinemia and diabetes) and drug addiction. Thoughts on future human evolutionary trajectories. Thoughts on evolutionary medicine connection to ageing processes. Credits: Ira Pastor interview video, text, and audio.
