THe yeAR PAST has been one of intense activity on multiple fronts of great importance to the

Department. First, as a consequence of successful fund-raising with Christ Church and Brasenose, whose cooperation is hugely appreciated, we have been able fully to endow two University Lectureships. Second, with the budgetary bonus of these endowments, plus the implementation of the Department’s ‘size and shape’ review which led to a modest but significant reduction in our total staffing Full Time equivalence, plus further cooperation with Colleges led by Courses Team Manager Maria Moreno – Christ Church, Lady Margaret Hall, Nuffield, St Cross, and University – we were able to double our total funding for doctoral studentships. Third, even with the modest reduction in our total permanent staff compliment, we have made six new permanent appointments (Balliol, Brasenose, Magdalen, Nuffield, St Anne’s, St Hugh’s) as well as a number of fixed-term positions that should put us in a good position for the upcoming Research excellence Framework (ReF) submission. I am very grateful to all those who took part in the arduous appointment process, in particular to Petra Schleiter, who is leading

the Department’s ReF exercise. Fourth, with the able leadership of our Deputy Head of Department, Paul Martin, we were successful in winning funding (subject to final agreement on the budget) to introduce step-change to our undergraduate quantitative methods provision. Fifth, thanks to the intellectual power of our academics and the superb assistance of our Research Facilitator, Rasangi Prematilaka, we have seen a marked improvement in the success rate and total research funding awards. Sixth, with the vital input of our Finance and Projects Manager, Genevieve J. Garrido, and the Departmental Administrator, Janice French, we have managed all this within budget while at the same time undertaking a major refurbishment that will make DPIR space much more attractive for all to work in. Seventh, with Kate Candy in the lead, we have continued to develop our alumni relations and communication and, with Liz Greenhalgh, to increase our capacity for knowledge exchange. Last, but certainly not least, the Department has ensured its success for the future by appointing my successor to start in January, 2014, elizabeth Frazer.

IntroductionProfessor Stephen Whitefield, Head of Department



UndeRgRAdUAte teAching

Philosophy, Politics and economics (PPe) is the Department’s largest undergraduate joint degree, popular both in the UK and around the world: Michaelmas 2012 saw an intake of 264 students of 24 different nationalities. Only 15.6% of applicants were successful for 2012 entry, and this stiff competition for places continues to attract a high calibre of students. In summer 2012, approximately 86% of PPe Finals students took at least one Politics paper in their exams, demonstrating that Politics remains the most popular discipline within the joint degree.

History and Politics, the Department’s second joint undergraduate degree, continues to grow in popularity. The course had a strong intake of 46 in Michaelmas term 2012, and the total number of applicants continues to rise each year.

ReSeARch FUnding

As the Department’s research projects and activities come to fruition we are moving ahead with a strong emphasis on achieving impact in a more prominent way than in previous years. We are committed to getting our research results across to targeted beneficiaries and have been methodically planning dissemination activities in each of our research funding applications. It is our aim to ensure that the knowledge and research findings that our research activities produce contribute to public debate and to policy formation and innovation. To facilitate and promote the transfer of knowledge we have organised knowledge exchange seminars and media training sessions for our academics, early career researchers and postdoctoral community.

In terms of the funding applications that we have worked on this past year, it is evident that there has been a slight fall in numbers of applications submitted to funding agencies. Nevertheless, there has been a sharp increase in the number of funding awards received in comparison to the last 3 - 4 years. We hope that this is a result of the focus and considerable effort we have put towards strengthening the quality of our funding applications.

We have also put in a number of applications that target areas of research that are of increasing importance and interest in the international political arena at present, which we hope will come to realisation in the next academic year.

highlights of research projects

OXPO brings together scholars from the Department of Politics and International Relations, the Department of Sociology and Nuffield College at Oxford University, the Maison Française d’Oxford and several research centres within Sciences Po (such as CeRI, CeVIPOF, OSC) to collaborate on research projects. More details about our research projects can be found at: http://oxpo.politics.ox.ac.uk/projects/index.asp.

conclusionOXPO has played a key role in facilitating many events and publications. OXPO does not plan or organise research: it accompanies researchers’ projects, and serves as an incentive to develop French-British collaborative projects in sociology and in political science. Feedback from our reports, projects and publications suggests that our visitors benefit very much from their association with OXP.

Research ProjectsReuters Institute Digital News Report 2013The Reuters Institute Digital Report 2013 reveals new insights about digital news consumption and makes these widely available through a publication and dedicated website. Based on a representative youGov survey of online news consumers across nine countries – UK, US, Germany, France, Denmark, Spain, Italy, Japan and Brazil – the report is an ambitious project tracking changing digital news behaviour over the next decade which has already drawn considerable interest.

The Role of Media in DemocratisationThis research, funded by DPIR, is designed to develop understanding of the role of media in democratisation and the implications of changing local media landscapes and enhanced freedom of expression during political transitions on democratic socialisation with a focus on the Middle east after the Arab Spring.

The International Reporting of Risk and Uncertainty around Climate Science Scientists and politicians are increasingly using the language of risk to describe the climate change challenge. But understanding the concepts of risk and uncertainty – and how to communicate them – is a hotly debated issue. The project and resulting book analyse how the international media present these and other narratives around climate change across six countries: Australia, France, India, Norway, the UK and the USA.Funders: The european Climate Foundation, Grantham Research institute on Climate Change and the environment (LSe), Norwegian environment Agency.

The Euro Crisis, Media Coverage, and Perceptions of Europe within the EUThis project examines how europeans understand the challenges facing the euro and the workings of the european Union and european Central Bank through the news media of their countries. It is being undertaken with a network of partners in France, Finland, Belgium, Germany, Greece, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland and Spain.Funders: John Fell Fund, University of Oxford, and internal funding at partner institutions

Media and democracy in central and eastern europe (Mdcee)

http://mde.politics.ox.ac.uk/

director:Professor Jan Zielonka

Administered by DPIR, but hosted at St Antony’s College, MDCee is an interdisciplinary research project launched in October 2009 and funded by the european Research Council. It aims to investigate the often troublesome and poorly understood relationship between democracy and the media in Central and eastern europe. However, our findings are broadly applicable to consolidating democracies worldwide.

The research team is led by Professor Jan Zielonka, supported by Professor Terhi Rantanen of the London School of economics and Political Science, the project’s Co-Investigator. The project’s four strong Research team comprises full-time Research Fellows: Drs Péter Bajomi-Lázár, Ainius Lašas, Václav Štětka and Michał Wenzel.

Main Workshops and conferences highlights

• Workshop: ‘MDCee & MeDIADeM Projects’, 15 November 2012. MDCee and the MeDIADeM project organised a joint workshop in order to share their research findings. MeDIADeM (‘european Media Policies Revisited: Valuing & Reclaiming Free and Independent Media in Contemporary Democratic Systems’) is a european research project aimed at

examining the factors that promote or hinder policy development for media freedom and independence.

• Conference: ‘Political Parties and Party Systems in Central & eastern europe’, 16-17 November 2012. MDCee hosted a 2-day workshop, with presentations from scholars on political party structures in countries throughout the Cee region.

• Conference ‘Media and Democracy: Central eastern europe in a comparative context’, 9-11 July 2013. The final major conference in Oxford hosted keynote speakers from the Cee region and wider world. It included presentations from MDCee researchers on their findings, and final reports, and sought to suggest new ways for the study of the relationship between democracy and the media, applicable in eastern europe, to other consolidating democracies in areas such as the Balkans, Latin America, Asia, the Middle east and Africa, to advance.

The project ran a successful series of seminars in collaboration with our Visiting Fellows during the Michaelmas 2012 and Hilary 2013 terms. Our Principal Investigators and Senior Research Fellows have remained in demand for conferences and comment on the Cee regions politics and media developments in various media outlets.

highlights of Research Activities

• The project continued to host Visiting Research Fellows in the 2012-13 academic year, with fourteen visitors working with the team over the period. We were delighted to welcome a number of renowned academics from the fields of Political Science and Media Studies, and to have Professor Iveta Radičová (former Slovakian Prime Minister) join us for a term.

• Dr Henrik Örnebring left to take up a new teaching and research position in his native Sweden.

• We recruited an additional Research Fellow on the project, Dr Michał Wenzel, who joined the project in May 2013 from the Warsaw School of Social Sciences and Humanities (SWPS), in Poland.

• In 2013, our Senior Research Fellows undertook a further round of fieldwork in a number of the ten Central and eastern european countries being researched by the project, continuing to interview key practitioners and actors in the political and media fields in the region.

• Our Fellows and Principal Investigators are routinely sought out by media outlets in the Cee region for comment and analysis on regional media policy issues.



The research team continues to publish widely in relevant journals and edited books.

Major journal articles published in the year (to date) include:• International Journal of Press/Politics – Special edition

(Oct, 2012; 17[4])• east european Politics & Societies (Feb, 2013; 27[1])• Communication, Politics & Culture (Volume 45)• International Journal of Press/Politics (online – Aug,

2013)

Articles are in preparation for submission/publication in editions of:• Global Media and Communications Journal• Central european Journal of Communications• east european Politics & Societies

Annual Report


Annual Report 23

THe DePARTMeNT has progressed through the year in a good financial state, and ended the year with

a surplus of £143k, bringing the reserves to a healthy £1.6 million. Factors contributing to this surplus included a 37% increase in the income generated from college visiting students and journalist fellows at the Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism. Adding to this surplus was a 2nd unbudgeted session of the Department’s executive education programme. During the year the Department has been successful in delivering increased annual studentship funding, which has included securing matching funding from various

colleges. We were also able to utilise part of this year’s income to upgrading the work and meeting space in the Manor Road Building for both students and staff. The budget for the 2013-14 financial year, finalised in May, includes a further increase in studentship funding and the creation of a teaching laboratory in support of a Quantitative Methods teaching hub. The Department remains committed to securing further investment in graduate studentships whilst maintaining a solid funding basis for its core teaching and research activities.
