  Radiohead’s musical, cultural, and political legacies

Nevertheless, only a handful of academic studies have, to this day, been devoted their work, including The Music and Art of Radiohead (Tate, 2005).

  Governance and Public Policies in the Contemporary United Kingdom

  The purpose of this conference is to study the notion of governance in a specific time and space context: the United Kingdom from 1997 to 2014. The evolution of governance in British public policies will be questioned. Participants will be invited to rethink the transformations of public and State action, especially in the sectors that have been reformed (health, housing, education, energy and urban policy), faced with the imperatives of “devolution”, pressure from international trade dynamics, and the growing influence of the European Union and intergovernmental agencies. The forthcoming general elections provide an opportunity to take stock of the research on public policy management in the field of British studies.

  The Liberal Party in Britain : Past and Present

  Le Parti libéral, majoritaire en 1906, devient minoritaire à partir de 1910. Le gouvernement est néanmoins resté aux mains de libéraux, au moins partiellement, jusqu’en 1924. De même, membre de la coalition gouvernementale en 2010, le Parti libéral n’a pas été sans influence sous les gouvernements précédents. L'histoire se répète-t-elle ? Les pistes qui seront explorées sont celles qui permettent d’expliquer pourquoi et à quel moment, le parti libéral a perdu le pouvoir, et, pourquoi et à quel moment, il l’a retrouvé.
