The Global Game: Football in the Modern Era
It is a cliché to say that football is a global game. But in the West the ‘beautiful game’ is still commonly engaged with as a primarily Western sport, dominated by the comings and goings of the Bundesliga, La Liga and, in particular, the English Premier League. This module gives you the chance to engage with the global game as a global game. This module will focus on four global regions – Latin America, Africa, Europe, and Asia – and their interconnections with one another.
The focus is firmly upon placing the development of football in its socio-political contexts. What explains the ways that football has been played, supported, and discussed in the twentieth and twenty first centuries? And what impact has football had on the societies that play, support, and discuss it? Through the consideration of class, gender, race, as well as colonialism, nationalism, globalisation, consumerism, and capitalism, football provides a fascinating insight into the specificities and generalities of the modern age and, hence, the modern world. -

The Government Lab
Governments everywhere encounter several challenges in carrying out their responsibilities and appear to be "stuck" in their delivery. Both wealthy nations and those in the Global South have difficulty implementing policies and providing for their citizens. Using evidence-based academic work, the module aims to provide students with a critical framework to understand and assess the main implementation difficulties that governments are currently confronting. We shall discuss the limits of the generalisability of the results to specific situations. -

The Great Exhibition of 1851 Part 2: Legacy
The Great Exhibition of the Works of Industry of All Nations was an international exhibition which took place in Hyde Park, London, from 1st May to 11th October 1851. It was arguably the greatest of a series of international ‘expositions’ run throughout the nineteenth century, celebrating scientific and technological innovation, design aesthetic and the might of manufacturing. On show were some 13,000 objects from Britain, the Colonies and forty-four other nations. The Exhibition and the Crystal Palace which housed it became a British icon, symbolising free trade and national success. During its six month opening period, over six million people visited the Exhibition, turning London, in the words of the Illustrated London News, from ‘the capital of a great nation, [into] the metropolis of the world’. The effects of the Exhibition were enormous and felt well into the twentieth century and beyond. But why was the Great Exhibition so important? How did it become a turning point for the nation? And what exactly has its legacy been?
