    Making Another World Possible : Anarchism, Anti-capitalism and Ecology in Late 19th and Early 20th Century Britain (2013)

    Abstract: This book is available as open access through the Bloomsbury Open Access programme and is available on www.bloomsburycollections.com. Making Another World Possible identifies the British contribution to the genealogy of modern green and anti-capitalist thinking by examining left libertarian ideologies in the late 19th and early 20th century Britain and highlighting their influence on present day radical thought. As capitalism heralded the triumph of technology, greater production, and a new urban industrial society, some imagined alternatives to this notion of progress based on endless economic growth. The book examines the development of ideas from these dissidents who included communists, class warriors, free thinkers, secularists, and Christian communitarians. All shared the same beliefs that the benefits of industrialism could only be realized through equality and that urban culture depended on a healthy agriculture and harmony with the natural world - concerns that are still of great importance today. This distinctive history of anarchist ideas reappraises the work of thinkers and revises the historical picture of the radical milieu in 19th and 20th century Britain. It will be an essential resource to anyone researching the history of ideas and studying anarchism

    Abstract: This book is available as open access through the Bloomsbury Open Access programme and is available on www.bloomsburycollections.com. In this extended essay, Michael Gardiner examines the ideology of the discipline of English Literature in the light of the serious redefining work on England and Englishness that has been conducted in Political Studies in the last decade. He argues that English Literature emerges from the development of the state and that consequently it has suppressed the idea of the nation. His claim is that English Literature has lost its form since its methodology and canonicity depended so heavily on a constitutional form which can no longer be defended. He calls upon those working in English Literature to recognise that they are not really participating in the same discipline, defined by the Burkean constitutional settlement, even if they think of themselves as writing 'within the canon'. His view is that a lack of appreciation of 'hard-edged' political factors have led to a 'continuant' and regressive form of English Literature which tends to hang on to stifling methodologies. In its place, he appeals for the creation of a more open-ended, inclusive, internationalist, and comparative 'literature of England'

    Economic multisectoral modelling between past and future : A tribute to Maurizio Grassini and a selection of his writings (2013)

    Series Statement: Studi e saggi
    Keywords: Political science & theory
    Abstract: This book is a tribute to the work of Maurizio Grassini, econometrician and model builder. The selection of his works in the first part of the volume is mainly devoted to research issues of multisectoral modelling. In fact, M. Grassini has dedicated a large part of his professional life to building and developing the INTIMO model for the Italian economy within the INFORUM research project. The book does not aim to be a celebration of the past but takes a look at the future of the multisectoral modelling which M. Grassini has contributed so much to. In the second part of the book, colleagues and friends who have encountered M. Grassini in the professional sphere on matters of quantitative economic analysis or still working with him on interindustry models have given their contribution to look at the future prospects of a research field firmly based on the experience of what has been done so far

    Abstract: La réflexion sur la définition d'une « identité », quelle soit nationale, groupale ou communautaire, et, en contrepoint, les difficultés engendrées par la reconnaissance de multiples formes de « diversité » ont pris une place centrale dans le débat public de la plupart des pays européens au cours des dernières années. Ces questions font par ailleurs l'objet d'un nombre croissant de créations artistiques, particulièrement révélatrices des tensions inhérentes au double mouvement d'affirmation et de différenciation identitaires. La question de l'exil et de l'intégration soulevée par l'intensification des flux de migration internationale contribue à mettre en évidence les paradoxes de la rencontre, voire de la confrontation, entre maints aspects de la culture d'origine et de la culture du pays d'accueil. Cet ouvrage aborde les thèmes de l'identité et de la diversité en croisant les regards des chercheurs en sciences sociales et littérature contemporaine avec ceux d'acteurs de la « diversité » dans une perspective comparative internationale, et vise à proposer des pistes de réflexion sur ces notions controversées, fluctuantes, polymorphes

    Keywords: Environmentalist thought & ideology ; Political science & theory ; Political ideologies ; Social groups ; Social theory
    Abstract: This book is available as open access through the Bloomsbury Open Access programme and is available on www.bloomsburycollections.com. Clare Saunders' book is an important contribution to the literature on social movements and environmentalism. Using the concept of 'environmental networks', it explores the extent to which social movement theory helps us understand how a broad range of environmental organizations interact. It considers the practicalities of social movement theories and it goes on to relate them to the practices of environmental networks. Theoretically and empirically rich, the book draws on extensive survey material with 144 UK environmental organizations, as diverse as not-in-my-backyard (NIMBY) groups, reformists, conservationists and radicals; interviews with more than 40 key campaigners and extensive participant-observation, particularly in London. Focussing particularly on the crucial question of networking dynamics, the book reveals that there are broad ranging network links across the movements' spatial and ideological dimensions. Combined with inevitable ideological clashes and a degree of sectarian rivalry, these links helps produce vibrant environmental networks that together work to protect and/or preserve the environment. This book is an invaluable resource for anyone concerned with environmental issues, politics and movements

    Abstract: Deux scandales majeurs ont coup sur coup écorné l'image de probité associée à la mère de toutes les démocraties modernes. Les Britanniques ont découvert avec consternation que leurs parlementaires exploitaient sans vergogne le système de remboursement de notes de frais qui leur était propre. Quelque temps plus tard, ils ont appris que des journalistes du News of the World - le plus gros tirage de la presse britannique - pirataient les boîtes vocales de milliers de personnalités. La foi du public dans l'honnêteté de ses représentants au Parlement et dans l'éthique professionnelle de ses journalistes, qui n'était déjà pas très affirmée, venait, une fois de plus, d'être mise à mal. Pas plus que les autres États occidentaux, le Royaume-Uni n'est épargné par la corruption. Celle-ci n'est en fait qu'une composante  marginale d'un phénomène plus large, baptisé sleaze qui, depuis l'affaire Profumo (1963), englobe les frasques sexuelles de personnalités en vue, notamment du monde politique et sportif, les tractations financières opaques, le versement de pots-de-vin à des fins politiques ou commerciales. C'est aux différentes manifestations - y compris écossaises et nord-irlandaises - de ce phénomène, dont l'amplification alimente l'apathie électorale et le populisme, qu'est consacré cet  ouvrage

    Abstract: Over the last 30 years, the Inforum approach to macro modelling has been shared by economists worldwide. Researchers have focussed much of their efforts to developing a linked system of international interindustry models with a consistent methodology. A world-wide network of research associates use the same methods and software obtaining comparable results. The XXth Inforum World Conference was held in Florence in September 2012 and this book contains a selection of papers presented during that Conference. All these contributions are aimed at policymakers, stakeholders, and applied economists. Some papers are devoted to specific topics (total factor productivity, energy issues, external linkages, demographic changes) and some others are oriented to macro model building and simulations

    Sounding the Cape : Music, Identity and Politics in South Africa (2013)

    Abstract: For several centuries Cape Town has accommodated a great variety of musical genres which have usually been associated with specific population groups living in and around the city. Musical styles and genres produced in Cape Town have therefore been assigned an ìidentityî which is first and foremost social. This volume tries to question the relationship established between musical styles and genres, and social --in this case pseudo-racial --identities. In Sounding the Cape, Denis-Constant Martin recomposes and examines through the theoretical prism of creolisation the history of music in Cape Town, deploying analytical tools borrowed from the most recent studies of identity configurations. He demonstrates that musical creation in the Mother City, and in South Africa, has always been nurtured by contacts, exchanges and innovations whatever the efforts made by racist powers to separate and divide people according to their origin. Musicians interviewed at the dawn of the 21st century confirm that mixture and blending characterise all Cape Town's musics. They also emphasise the importance of a rhythmic pattern particular to Cape Town, the ghoema beat, whose origins are obviously mixed. The study of music demonstrates that the history of Cape Town, and of South Africa as a whole, undeniably fostered creole societies. Yet, twenty years after the collapse of apartheid, these societies are still divided along lines that combine economic factors and 'racial'categorisations. Martin concludes that, were music given a greater importance in educational and cultural policies, it could contribute to fighting these divisions and promote the notion of a nation that, in spite of the violence of racism and apartheid, has managed to invent a unique common culture

    Abstract: Gracias a los aportes de destacados especialistas, tanto europeos como americanos del Norte y del Sur, este libro plural explora las diferentes dimensiones del proceso revolucionario que, en los albores del siglo xix, ha llevado a las regiones americanas del Imperio español a declarar su independencia, revelando el dinamismo y la riqueza de la renovación historiográfica logrados sobre este objeto, todavía mal conocido. Mediante un diálogo permanente, se abordan las distintas temporalidades del proceso, los lenguajes tanto políticos como religiosos y constitucionales, la diversidad de los actores y de sus prácticas, así como los vínculos de estas revoluciones con Europa y Estados Unidos. Por tanto, la historia presentada a través de estas páginas difiere notablemente de la forjada por los primeros historiadores latinoamericanos, preocupados ante todo por transmitir a la posteridad un gran relato liberal y nacional. El lector encontrará en este volumen las herramientas necesarias para familiarizarse con estas revoluciones tildadas de exóticas y, sin embargo, tan cercanas a nosotros

    Abstract: Engstrom evaluates redistricting plans and their electoral results from all states from 1789 through the 1960s, revealing that districting practices systematically affected the competitiveness of congressional elections; shaped the partisan composition of congressional delegations; and, on occasion, determined control of the House of Representatives. Erik J. Engstrom offers a historical perspective on the effects of gerrymandering on elections and party control of the U.S. national legislature. Aside from the requirements that districts be continuous and, after 1842, that each select only one representative, there were few restrictions on congressional districting. Unrestrained, state legislators drew and redrew districts to suit their own partisan agendas. With the rise of the “one-person, one-vote” doctrine and the implementation of the Voting Rights Act of 1965, however, redistricting became subject to court oversight

    Abstract: Das jahrelange Embargo des Gaza-Streifens durch Israel, Gewalt gegen Asylsuchende und Abschiebehäftlinge in Deutschland und Österreich, das Elend der Flüchtlinge an den EU-Außengrenzen - was bedeutet der Alltag staatlicher Gewalt für das Verständnis moderner Staaten? Maximilian Lakitsch ergründet das Verhältnis von Gewalt und Macht und zeichnet damit ein Bild des modernen Staates. Ergänzt durch die Perspektive der Wirklichkeit staatlichen Gewalthandelns, überwindet dieser Beitrag zur politischen Theorie die Statik vieler Staatsmodelle

    Abstract: Das ambivalente Verhältnis zwischen Politik und Gewalt - obwohl gegenwärtig von großer Brisanz - bleibt bislang in der Politischen Philosophie begrifflich und konzeptionell unscharf bestimmt. Dieses Buch knüpft an unterschiedliche disziplinäre und subdisziplinäre Perspektiven über die Politische Philosophie hinaus an - etwa an Überlegungen aus den Internationalen Beziehungen oder der Soziologie. So entsteht eine genauere und kritische Analyse zu einem Thema, das die Politik immer wieder herausfordert
