You are warmly invited to the launch of Sustaining Development in Small Islands: Climate Change, Geopolitical Security, and the Permissive Liberal Order on 17 July from 6pm-8.30pm.

The viability of small island developing states (SIDS) is threatened by three distinct processes – a backlash against globalisation; rising geopolitical competition between powers; and accelerating climate change – which are pulling at the threads binding the liberal international order together. The authors suggest that this order has been kinder to SIDS than is often acknowledged because its underpinning norms – sovereign equality, non-interference, and right to development – are inherently permissive and thus provide SIDS with choices rather than imperatives.

Universities play a crucial role in modern democracies: as knowledge generators through research and facilitators of critical and independent thinking, through learning, teaching and debate.  With the rise of the “third wave” of autocratisation in the last decade, universities have come under attack across the globe and not surprisingly we have seen a sharp decline in academic freedom.  To contribute to an emerging global conversation about how universities should respond to contemporary challenges, this event will draw together scholars from across the globe who have engaged with the challenges universities now face either in their own universities or in building solidarity with other universities. Panelists will examine how universities should understand their role in contemporary democracies and what they should do not only to resist the attacks, but to strengthen universities to ensure that they enable research, learning, teaching and debate for the common good.

Feminist theory has long established the links between patriarchal values and violence against which is rooted in hierarchical gendered structures, gendered stereotypes and inequalities. Taken together it is unsurprising that the mother-child relationship is often a key aim for perpetrators who intentionally try to undermine, distort and disrupt it in order to achieve power and control within the family. Understanding the construction of motherhood and fatherhood within the family justice system is therefore crucial in terms of combatting the damaging effects of gender stereotyping within the context of allegations of domestic abuse. With reference to a major empirical study of five European jurisdictions, this lecture will demonstrate how, when domestic abuse takes place, it is mothers who are often the focus of the State in terms of their ability to protect the children from the father perpetrator and at the same time, to sustain the father-parent relationship. Moreover, mothers experiencing domestic abuse are often negatively judged through normative paradigms of ‘good motherhood’, even when evidence shows they are acting to protect their child and enhance their safety in very difficult circumstances. As a result, the study demonstrates how damaging discourses of the ‘good mother’ as fully responsible for their children animate persistent discourses of mother-blame and should be understood as a gendered driver of domestic and family violence.

For the CEL 51st Annual Lecture, President Koen Lenaerts will explain, in the light of the relevant case law of the Court of Justice of the European Union, that respect for the value of democracy cannot be limited to protecting the ballot box.

Free and fair elections are vital for a democracy. However, that is not enough. In his view, the value of democracy requires much more. It requires a transparent and accountable government, an active civil society, free and pluralistic media, and minorities who feel protected. It also requires future generations of Europeans to learn and understand how EU demoicracy operates in practice, and to share and cherish the values on which the EU is founded.
