Next stage of Olympic legacy on track
Financial Times, 24/07/2013, p.10, Unattributed
While Tony Travers of the London School of Economics states in your report that the real benefits are “reputational”, I believe that the hundreds of thousands of people, who will live, work in and visit the area around Stratford, will have good cause to disagree.

The new Cold War dividing the Middle East
The Daily Telegraph, 24/07/2013, p.21, David Blair
Why is this happening? Partly, it is explained by the “new regional Cold War” dividing the Middle East, to use the vivid phrase of Toby Dodge, a reader in international relations at the London School of Economics. In this overarching struggle, Iran and Saudi Arabia are the key antagonists: the former representing the civilisation of Shia Persia, the latter guarding the Sunni Arab heartland and its holiest places. Both use the language of sectarian loyalty to rally supporters and demonise foes.

The (not-so) green shoots of recovery
The Economist (Web), 23/07/2013, Unattributed
Is Britain well on its way to economic recovery or stuck in the doldrums? We are inviting experts in the field to comment on the recovery. Yesterday, Kevin Daly, UK economist for Goldman Sachs, argued for stronger forward guidance from the Bank of England. Today John Van Reenen of the London School of Economics asks whether the recovery is sustainable. Mr Van Reenen is head of the LSE’s Centre for Economic Performance and an expert on research and development, and innovation.

Mass al-Qaeda jailbreak in Iraq was 'insider job'
Telegraph (Web), 23/07/2013, Wael Alhafoth
The ability of al-Qaeda to strike at the Iraqi government's most heavily-guarded facilities shows how the organisation has regrouped in the last two years - and also how the Iraqi government is struggling to maintain security. Toby Dodge, an Iraq specialist at the London School of Economics and author of Iraq: from war to a new authoritarianism, said: "It was one hell of an operation and speaks very much to the reconstitution of al-Qaeda's capacity. It also shows a Keystone Cops element to the Iraqi government's response."
