With Dr Toby Matthiesen. Saudi Arabia is a theocratic monarchy in which Sunni Islam is the state religion. It is an autocratic state with an appalling human rights record, and its Shia minority of between 10% -15% has suffered from discrimination.
With Dr. Joss Hands. Online social networking and mobile computing are now central to politics, and to calls for the reform of existing social structures. As we have recently seen in the so-called Arab Spring revolutions and the uprising in Ukraine, they also play a critical part in movements of political protest, rebellion and regime change.
With Dr. Pete Duncan. At a time of increasing tension with the west over Ukraine, the Caucasus and the Middle East, Russia is often portrayed as an aggressive and expansionist power and the Russian government as an oppressive, authoritarian kleptocracy. Pete Duncan is a senior lecturer at The School of Slavonic and East European Studies (SSEES) which is part of UCL.
