👀 We’re looking for LSE alumni to mentor LSE students!

👨‍🏫 LSE Students' Union Kickstart Mentoring Scheme provides a structured programme of mentorship through which working class, low income or state school students at LSE can receive support and advice for their personal, academic, and professional development.

🤝 The programme involves matching students with LSE alumni based on a series of characteristics and preferences. These matched mentors and mentees then meet regularly from January through to July with support from LSESU staff, including training, events, and networking sessions.

Congratulations to Professor Robert Falkner of the International Relations Department, who recently published his new book, The Market in Global International Society: An English School Approach to International Political Economy! 📕

The Market in Global International Society tracks the idea and practice of the market through both modern and premodern times, and its evolution as a primary institution in international relations over the past two centuries. It develops a new approach to understanding the relationship between the market and other social and political institutions of global international society. Buzan and Falkner view the market as a political ideology in support of a liberal system of governance, and not just as an economic practice or economy-wide structural feature. In doing so, they draw attention to the market's powerful impact on international order.
