PERSONAL IDENTIFICATION IN THE INFORMATION AGE: THE CASE OF THE NATIONAL IDENTITY CARD IN THE UK Paul Beynon-Davies, European Business Management School, University of Wales Swansea, Singleton Park, Swansea, UK, [email protected] Abstract The informatics infrastructure supporting the Information Society requires the aggregation of data about individuals in electronic records. Such data structures demand that individuals be uniquely identified and this is critical to the necessary processes of authentication, identification and enrolment associated with the use of e-Business, e-Government and potentially e-Democracy systems. It is also necessary to the representation of human interactions as data transactions supporting various forms of governance structure: hierarchies, markets and networks.

  • Parliamentary Debate on the British Sikh Community

    Parliamentary Debate on the British Sikh Community

    355 Parliament Debate on Sikhs Parliamentary Debate on the British Sikh Community _______________________________________________________________ In an earlier issue of this Journal (Vol. 7, No 2, Fall, 2000) we reported on the first parliamentary debate on the Punjabi community in Britain. We now reproduce the first Parliament debate on the Sikh Community which took place on Wednesday 13th March 2013 in Westminster Hall with Albert Owen in the Chair. The full debate is reproduced below. These debates are important as they not only provide the context, they also tell us about the nature of interactions between MPs and their Sikh constituents, their knowledge and perceptions about them. Furthermore, they provide important insights on the electoral pulse of the time as elections were nearing, on the nature of lobbying by Sikhs groups and discourses within Sikh community. [We fully acknowledge the copyright of this debate rests with Hansard. We are thankful to them for allowing its reproduction. Eds]. ________________________________________________________________ 9.30 am Gareth Johnson (Dartford) (Con): It is a pleasure to serve under your chairmanship, Mr Owen, I think for the first time. I pay tribute to the inspiration behind the debate, which was that of the hon. Member for Leeds North East (Fabian Hamilton) who runs the all-party group for British Sikhs, and to the excellent work of that group in Parliament and the way in which it has helped to recognise the contribution of the Sikh community to our country. I also pay tribute to the work of my hon. Friend the Member for Wolverhampton South West (Paul Uppal) and the hon.

    WHEN DOES HE SPEAK FOR SHE? MEN REPRESENTING WOMEN IN PARLIAMENT By MARY K. NUGENT A dissertation submitted to the School of Graduate Studies Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey In partial fulfillment of the requirements For the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Program in Political Science Written under the direction of Mona Lena Krook And approved by _____________________________________ _____________________________________ _____________________________________ _____________________________________ New Brunswick, New Jersey May, 2019 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION When Does He Speak for She? Men Representing Women in Parliament. by MARY K. NUGENT Dissertation Director: Mona Lena Krook This project develops our understanding of the representation of women’s interests in politics by considering the role that men can play in advancing the substantive representation of women (SRW). I draw on the case of the United Kingdom Parliament, which over the last three decades has seen significant changes in the sex balance of Members of Parliament (MPs) in the House of Commons. Using quantitative analysis of two legislative activities – Early Day Motions, and the annual International Women’s Day Debates – I first establish the patterns of men’s engagement in SRW. I argue that men’s role in representation women can be understood as what I term an “ancillary representatives” for women, which is a role that draws on a vantage point not accessible to women to help advance the SRW, while also remains secondary to women’s leadership role. The role played by men remains fairly consistent over time, with some evidence of a mainstreaming of women’s issues over time as the number of women in politics ii increases.
