The Spectre of State Capitalism - Dr Ilias Alami
The state is back, and it means business. Since the turn of the 21st century, state-owned enterprises, sovereign funds, and policy banks have vastly expanded their control over assets and markets. Concurrently, governments have experimented with increasingly assertive modalities of statism, from techno-industrial policies and spatial development strategies to economic nationalism and trade and investment restrictions. This book argues that we are currently witnessing a historic arc in the trajectories of state intervention, characterized by a drastic reconfiguration of the state's role as promoter, supervisor, shareholder-investor, and direct owner of capital across the world economy. It offers a comprehensive analysis of this “new state capitalism”, as commentators increasingly refer to it, and maps out its key empirical manifestations across a range of geographies, cases, and issue areas.

Richard Noss Lecture 2024: The future of human-centred design knowledge
Emeritus Professor Diana Laurillard presents 20 years of the UCL Knowledge Lab: Developing the future of human-centred design knowledge UCL Knowledge Lab has evolved rapidly from its conception as the London Knowledge Lab 20 years ago. It was born of the complementary interests of Birkbeck’s computer scientists and the IOE’s educational technologists – we all believed that we had a lot to learn from each other, and a new unit would inspire fruitful collaboration. It did. And in a fast-changing field we can now track many different journeys and milestones towards our current range of themes on how digital technology, media and AI contribute to human learning, communication, culture, society, education, arts and play. What binds us together is the conviction that all those modalities can inspire and serve innovative ways of engaging with each other within all our societal systems. Our shared approach to what we do is a design-based methodology that uses the sciences, works with end users

Uncommon Wealth: Britain and the aftermath of Empire
UCL IIPP in conversation series 10th Oct 2024 Uncommon Wealth is the little known and shocking history of how Britain treated its former non-white colonies after the end of empire. It is the story of how an interconnected group of British capitalists enabled horrific inequality across the globe, profiting in colonial Africa, Asia and the Caribbean. However, the greed unleashed in this era would boomerang, now leaving many ordinary Britons wondering where their own prosperity has gone. Ranging from Jamaica to Singapore, Ghana to Britain, this is a blistering account of how buried decisions of decades past are ravaging Britain today. Speaker: Dr Kojo Koram | Reader in Law at Birkbeck College, University of London Discussant: Reverend Professor Keith Magee | Visiting Professor in Cultural Justice at the UCL IIPP Chair: Dr Cecilia Rikap | Head of Research and Associate Professor in Economics at the UCL IIPP
