Still awaiting promised aid
International Herald Tribune, 12/10/2012, p.11, Sara Hamdan
''Both Europe and the U.S. are inward-looking, focusing on domestic concerns and weak economies,'' said Fawaz A. Gerges, director of the Middle East Center at the London School of Economics. ''The sad reality is that as Arab Spring countries transition from authoritarianism to democracy, they find themselves alone without much assistance from the world.''

Rethinking how best to help Africa
International Herald Tribune, 12/10/2012, p.10, Simon Akam
“These are goals that are largely concentrated around improving welfare indicators and are not really orientated around how do you stimulate productive, sustainable growth,” said James Putzel, a professor at the London School of Economics “They’re not addressing the central problems.”

Libya case must not scare us, says new director of the LSE
Financial Times, 12/10/2012, p.2, Chris Cook
The new director of the London School of Economics says the college must be unafraid of working with controversial regimes as part of its mission to tackle "real-world" problems, despite the scandal caused by the college's entanglement with the family of Muammar Gaddafi.

Troika a barrier to IMF's new fiscal faith
Financial Times, 12/10/2012, p.6, Alan Beattie
"…burden, the implication is that official money in the form of fresh lending or writing down existing loans will have to fill the financing gap. Paul de Grauwe, professor at the London School of Economics, says: "Given that the implication of the IMF view is more official financing, that closes the door for the other troika members."

People, not cash, are what start-ups need
Evening Standard, 11/10/2012, p.54, Anthony Hilton
this was just a British problem. But a book published today by US economist Professor William Janeway*, the theme of which he uses to deliver a rousing lecture at the London School of Economics this week, says that the failures are every bit as evident in America

A SHORT HOP TO ACADEMIC SUCCESS
The Independent, 11/10/2012, p.2, Helena Pozniak
"European education is in the process of being integrated, in line with the Bologna Declaration signed in 1999; so in theory a qualification from any European university will be worth the same in any country. "With a pan-European system of quality assurance procedures, postgraduate students will have confidence knowing that wherever their degree is finally from, it meets the exacting standards agreed by more than 40 countries and recognised the world over," says Simeon Underwood, an adviser on Bologna at the London School of Economics."

Lessons from Palanpur
The Economist (Web), 11/10/2012, Unattributed
Article on social mobility in an Indian village. "One of his brothers has become a lawyer and moved to Chandausi, the nearest town. A long-running study at the London School of Economics provides statistics to confirm these impressions. Its researchers have spent over 50 years conducting detailed surveys to track the fortunes of Palanpur’s residents."

Free exchange: Concrete gains
The Economist (Web), 11/10/2012, Unattributed
This “regulatory tax” amounts to over 300% in the office markets in Frankfurt, Paris and Milan, according to a 2008 study by Paul Cheshire and Christian Hilber of the London School of Economics, but is just 50% in Manhattan and, in effect, zero in fast-growing places like Houston. Taxes that add to transaction costs also help explain low European mobility.
