FIDE Congress 2020 - EU Competition Law and the Digital Economy: United Kingdom Report

This report was prepared for the 29th biennial Congress of the International Federation of European Law (FIDE) to be held in The Hague in May 2020. It is the national report for the United Kingdom in response to Topic 3 of the 2020 FIDE Congress, titled ‘EU Competition Law and the Digital Economy’. This report offers an overview of UK competition enforcement in digital economy markets by answering twelve questions organised into four sections. Part A summarises key UK antitrust and merger decisions, agency publications, priorities and goals of enforcement in digital economy markets. Part B focuses upon the definition of markets and conceptualisation of market power by UK authorities in digital economy cases in light of their challenges and particularities. Part C offers a detailed overview of the issues underpinning UK antitrust and merger scrutiny in this field: the types of conduct investigated, relevant factors and concepts, theories of harm, efficiency justifications and remedies in digital economy cases. Finally, Part D identifies the potential for incoherent enforcement in this field from two different sources: the overlap between UK competition law and ex ante regulatory regimes (e.g. consumer protection, data protection); and the overlap between the powers of various UK competition decision-makers (e.g. sectoral regulators, the Competition Appeal Tribunal, and the courts)

A Study in Style and Content of the Speeches of John F. Kennedy on Foreign Policy

The purpose of the thesis, A Study in Style and Content of the Speeches of John F. Kennedy on Foreign Policy was two-fold. The first purpose was to isolate the techniques of style located in the written copies of Senator Kennedy’s speeches on foreign policy. The second purpose of this thesis was to determine Senator Kennedy\u27s views regarding the direction that United States foreign policy should take. In order to study both of these facets it was necessary to locate and analyze all of Senator Kennedy\u27s speeches on foreign policy. Nearly all of these speeches are published in the Congressional Record. The techniques of style were discussed under the following six organizational headings: (1) general observations of style, (2) style of introducing speeches, (3) use of evidence and reasoning, (4) kinds of appeals used, (5) level of vocabulary and language and (6) style of concluding speeches. Senator Kennedy\u27s speeches on foreign policy were concentrated subject-wise on specific world areas. His views concerning foreign policy were different in each area, hence, these views were discussed under the following headings: (1) general views on foreign policy, (2) United States allies, (3) Communist countries, (4) the Middle East, and (5) Indochina and Algeria. This writer encountered no extreme problems and the study resulted in several definite conclusions. Several distinct techniques of style were noted. These techniques were used frequently and seemed to be quite successful. Senator Kennedy\u27s viewpoints regarding foreign policy were clear and concise. A great amount of consistency and farsighted thinking was encountered in the study of these viewpoints

Some pupils should know better (because there is better knowledge than opinion). Interim findings from an empirical study of pupils’ and teachers’ understandings of knowledge and big questions in Religious Education

In this paper, we draw on interim findings of our research project on Religious Education (RE), knowledge and big questions. We have found Miranda Fricker’s concept of epistemic injustice useful in our analysis—that is, the notion that a person can be wronged “specifically in their capacity as a knower (Fricker 2007, 1). In interviews with Key Stage 3 pupils (aged 12–14) we found that for many pupils, their capacity to know was hindered by the prioritisation of respect for opinion. Where opinion is considered something not to be questioned, this seems to be a key indicator of epistemic disadvantage while some pupils valued and could employ criticality when considering knowledge claims (including opinions). Epistemic advantage in this way exacerbates epistemic injustice, broadening a gap between the epistemic haves and have-nots. This research is part of a larger project where we attempt to answer the question: ‘Does Religious Education have a distinctive contribution to make to the development of epistemic literacy?’. We begin with our account of epistemic literacy underpinned by Young’s powerful knowledge (Young and Muller 2010) and contextualise our data with discourses about knowledge and school education. We focus largely on the emergent theme of (respect for) opinions and we argue that the prioritisation of respect in RE is (for some pupils) a barrier to knowledge. We go on to explore why this matters for individuals, society and RE

Epistemic insight: Teaching about science and RE in secondary schools

This article reports on a teaching intervention for year 9/10 students (age 13-14) in secondary school biology and Religious Education (RE) lessons which was partly intended to deepen students’ reflections, empathy and literacy when considering the similarities, differences and relationships between religion and science. The intervention proved to be generally successful in meeting its aims for the students and also led to a number of the participating teachers changing their views in ways that were more positive about the worth of examining such issues in the classroom

Human resource inequalities at the base of India's public health care system

This paper examines the extent of inequalities in human resource provision at India's Heath Sub-Centres (HSC) - first level of service provision in the public health system. ‘Within state' inequality explained about 71% and ‘between state’ inequality explained the remaining 29% of the overall inter-HSC inequality. The Northern states had a lower health worker share relative to the extent of their HSC provision. Contextual factors that contributed to ‘between’ and ‘within’ district inequalities were the percentages of villages connected with all-weather roads and having primary schools. Analysis demonstrates a policy and programming need to address ‘within State’ inequalities as a priority
