I have to admire your chutzpah in posting this on the list, but perhaps I can suggest two further areas for research at the School of Environment and Development(!), in a similar spirit: ´Democracy, Accountablity and the Defence Industry´, and ´Oil, Peace and Social Equity´. Should be good for a few billions from Shell and BAE, don´t you think?
