Paul Stubbs

The New International Economic Order (NIEO) was an attempt, underpinned by the agency of the Global South, to articulate global economic and social rights consequent upon political rights gained through processes of decolonisation. The New International Economic Order: Lives and Afterlives situates the NIEO within the interregnum of the 1970s, addressing its core features, intellectual antecedents, contradictions, absences, and afterlives. Particular attention is paid to the role of the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) alongside the G-77 and UNCTAD. The book traces the orchestrated United States opposition to the NIEO and the growth of neoliberalism at the end of the 1970s before discussing some of the NIEO’s many afterlives. It argues that analysing, translating and adapting the NIEO is important for any re-envisioning of emancipatory global economic, political and social relations today.Using a mixture of documentary and archive material, The New International Economic Order will be of interest to students and researchers in diplomatic history, international relations, development studies and sociology. It brings together a large number of themes that are not usually considered together in the existing literature, combining theory and empirics in innovative ways.

With Beast: The Lost Chronicles, Paul Stubbs has fashioned a philosophical, theological, and visionary odyssey that follows W. B. Yeats' 'rough beast', as it strives to free itself from its creator and transcend him, while attempting to understand its purpose in the universe. Mirrored by the syntactical shifts of Stubbs' singular prosody, this elusive mythical figure traverses ancient to modern times, grappling with the ideas of each age as it encounters pivotal figures-such as Darwin, Mary, Noah, Nietzsche, Kant, Christ. This poetic journey across millennia forces a confrontation with evolving anthropological and metaphysical debates, from early Christian imagery to modern existential crises. Ultimately, the beast's narrative, brought to life by Stubbs' decisive gift for image-making, remains eerily contemporary with every era it inhabits, blending meditations on existence, sin, and the search for an unobtainable truth.

Responding to increasing interest in the movement of policies between places, sites and settings, this timely book presents a critical alternative to approaches centred on ideas of policy transfer, dissemination or learning. Written by key people in the field, it argues that treating policy’s movement as an active process of ‘translation’, in which policies are interpreted, inflected and re-worked as they change location, is of critical importance for studying policy. The book provides an exciting and accessible analytical and methodological foundation for examining policy in this way and will be a valuable resource for those studying policy processes at both undergraduate and post-graduate levels. Mixing collectively written chapters with individual case studies of policies and practices, the book provides a powerful and productive introduction to rethinking policy studies through translation. It ends with a commitment to the possibilities of thinking and doing ‘policy otherwise’.

Confident in his use of Christian icons, nothing is 'sacred' to Paul Stubbs who is as prepared to write as God and Pope as he is Adam (and Eve). Using paintings by Francis Bacon as their starting points, these poems delve into baroque realms of psychological and philosophical thought, filling the unknown with urgent possibility. To each neo-operatic poem he brings wit and classical knowledge to build a singular and aesthetic passion. Yet throughout the landscape of these poems, there are reminders of the business of living with pain, desire and faith. This is not a book for the faint-hearted, but those who enter will be well rewarded, emerging with a renewed conviction of their own choices in viewing the world and our construction of it.

The poetry of Paul Stubbs presents an original and unorthodox re-evaluation of religion and human existence, powered by a visionary impulse which, in "The Icon Maker", sees the principal theological players in a world 'beyond' religion called to account and made to face uncomfortable transformation into corporeal beings. Resolute atheist, jaded sinner, ecclesiastical man: all are the poet's targets, and in this fine second collection, we encounter a poet working uncompromisingly with language, hounding it to keep it awake and to take on the unrefined materials of his imagination.
