WELCOME TO PAUL STUBBS' HOME PAGE!

I am also an Associate of the Globalism and Social Policy Programme - on this page you can find a number of articles of mine to download.

I am also an Associate of the South East European Research Centre - which is located in Thessaloniki Greece

 

My current research interests include:

 

  • International Actors and Social Policy in South-Eastern Europe (a book on this topic, co-edited by Bob Deacon, has been published by Edward Elgar in October 2007 - more details here)
  • Transnational Governmentalities, Intermediaries and Translation in South Eastern Europe (joint work with Noemi Lendvai and a series of seminars funded by the Friedrich Ebert Stiftung in Zagreb - read more about the Transnational Governmentality Workshops here)

Doctor Paul Stubbs
I am not THAT Doctor Paul Stubbs although some might say there are similiarities :-)

Doctor Paul Stubbs was an astrophysicist who devoted his entire life's work to the study of a neutron star/red giant star system in the Kavis Alpha sector. The neutron star was remarkable for the fact that it sucked up matter from the red giant, which exploded every 196 years.
