Thrilled that Dr Barbara Frey has been awarded an MSCA PF under my supervision for ENVIJUST-WB, an urgent and important project on environmental justice in the Balkans. The only MSCA at the University of Rijeka this year, and one of just two in Croatia. csmk.uniri.hr/en/dr-barbar...

David Lammy announces the new UK anti-corruption strategy at Mansion house yesterday, just three years overdue. Evidence from our @oxunipress.bsky.social @tenaprelec.bsky.social Indulging Kleptocracy is cited. But will the many incremental changes proposed fix a problem which is transnational?
