Deadline: Undergraduate - October 15, 2017 | Graduate - December 6, 2017

Location: University of Cambridge, UK

Overview:

?The Cambridge Commonwealth, European & International Trust was established on 1

August 2013 from the merger of the Cambridge Commonwealth Trust and the Cambridge
Overseas Trust. These were established as charities by the University of Cambridge
in the 1980s in order to provide financial support for international students on
degree courses at Cambridge.

The Trust awards approximately 400 scholarships annually, and supports between
1,100 and 1,400 students in residence each year from 85 countries across the world.
During its history of over 30 years of offering scholarships at the University of
Cambridge, the Trust has awarded a total of nearly 18,000 scholarships to
international students.

?Applications:

All scholarships require that you apply to the University of Cambridge via the
normal online application form, and most scholarships require that you apply by the
relevant deadline.

There are different procedures for applying for undergraduate study (BA and
similar) and for postgraduate study (Masters, PhD and similar).
Value:
?University tuition fee
Annual stipend (sufficient for single person)
Return economy airfare

?Eligibility:
These are guidelines on eligibility for scholarships that are available from the
Cambridge Commonwealth, European and International Trust:

Nationality:
All students, irrespective of nationality, are eligible to be considered for
funding by the Trust.
Status:
The Trust does not accept applications from students who are part-way through a
course at Cambridge, unless they are applying for funding towards a higher degree
course following graduation.
To find out more about your fee status, see information on the University's web
pages for undergraduates and for postgraduates.

Degree level:
Applicants must be intending to start a course at the level of undergraduate
(excluding UK/EU applicants), Masters (such as MPhil, MASt, LLM), or research
postgraduate (such as PhD).

Please note that the Trust does not offer many scholarships to students on
undergraduate courses, and has many more scholarship programmes available to
postgraduate students. Approximately 85% of the scholarships awarded each year are
to students taking Masters or PhD degrees.

The Trust will not normally support students at a degree level that is the same as,
or lower than, a degree they already hold, with two exceptions - we will consider
an application from a student who is required to take a second Masters degree at
Cambridge in order to gain admission to the PhD here, or from an international
(non-EU) student who is proposing to study as an affiliated student at Cambridge
for a second BA degree.

The Trust does not have scholarships available for post-doctoral positions, or for
visiting or exchange students.
The Trust does not have scholarships available for part-time postgraduate degrees,
and part-time undergraduate study is not available at the University of Cambridge.

Subject:Applicants may study any subject currently available at the University.

Application and Admission All students must be admitted to the University of

Cambridge through the normal application procedures. The Trust plays no role in the
admission of applicants to the University, and is not able to influence the chances
of an applicant being offered a place. The University sets minimum standards
check the requirements for undergraduates and for postgraduates. Also check the
information on application deadlines for undergraduates and postgraduates.

Applicants are encouraged to meet the entry requirements of the University as early
as possible, including (if necessary) the completion of an English language test.
This will help to prevent the Trust from offering valuable scholarships to students
who are ultimately unable to take up their places at Cambridge.
Please also read the Trusts Information for undergraduate applicants or
Information for postgraduate applicants.
The Trust is committed to equality of opportunity, and no applicant will be treated
less favourably than another on the grounds of gender (including gender
reassignment), marital or parental status, race, ethnic or national origin, colour,
disability, sexual orientation, religion or age. The primary consideration in the
selection of Scholars will be applicants' ability to meet the selection criteria
for each scholarship.

Some scholarships which are fully or partially funded by partners of the Trust are
allocated to students of particular nationalities or studying particular subjects.

ICSSR Sponsored National Seminar On Law, Court and Politics: Re-negotiating Global
and National Perspectives on 16th & 17th September, 2017 -Department of Law,
Bankura University.West Bengal

CONCEPT NOTE

Law and politics are closely associated with each other as law structures the
composition and function of the government and at the same time regulates and
controls the action of the Government. Government is supposed to follow the Rule
of Law and the necessary corollary of the same postulates good governance. The
prime stipulation of a civilized and welfare state is to have an independent and
impartial judicial system which will keep vigil on different organs of the
government and will ensure justice to the people. Law shapes the politics and often
politics determines the legal structure of a state. Political discourse creates
such concepts as constitutionalism, democratic state, anarchism, nihilism,
oligarchy, republic, monarchy etc. which affect the adjudicatory process and the
legal system of a state and in a same way decisions made in the judicial process
affect the political process. Court is an organ of the government but it becomes
distinct from the legislative and executive organs of the government due to its
radical approach, activism and vast role in the modern state. Courts inflect on
every issue of politics like the Constitution, executive and legislature, political
parties, election, pressure groups, policies, media etc. In the modern welfare
states, there are scarcely any political questions which have not been converted
into legal issues and resolved by the courts.

Courts are now deciding the political questions in areas ranging from hunger,
health care, distributive justice, law and order to corruption, criminalization of
politics, black money etc. In other words, the roles of socio-political culture may
be considered under the general rubric of the Foucauldian dynamics of power as a
major determinant of contemporary global scenario. In fact in a trans-cultural
global society it becomes increasingly incumbent on us how the mechanism of law and
the court are constantly redefining its relationship with political power. It is
therefore imperative that the power exercised by the legal system as well as the
court interfaces the overarching, political power. These two clashing concepts of
power generate new perceptions in the domain of socio-political ideology.

In the light of the above discussion it is pertinent to unfold the intrinsic

relationship within a broad range of law, politics perceived in terms of the
legislative and judicial process to resolve the issues as mentioned above
