1958–2018 Peace and Disarmament ACROSS THE DECADES: WORKING TOGETHER FOR 61958–2018 PEACE AND DISARMAMENT Campaign CND Review 2018 Give the gift of peace We are immensely proud to have been commemorating CND’s 60th anniversary this year. However, this is also something of a bittersweet occasion for us: our mission of achieving nuclear disarmament has not been accomplished yet, and so we must continue our fight for a future free from the threat of nuclear weapons. This is a fight that has taken decades, and continues today with as much determination as ever. And your support is vital in helping us achieve this goal. Making a gift to CND in your Will is one of the best possible ways to help bring about a world free from the threat of nuclear devastation. Here’s why: You could help bring strength and resilience to the campaign. A gift in your Will would help CND remain strong, campaigning effectively until all nuclear weapons have been disarmed. You could help transform and empower the organisation We could support the creation of more CND groups across the country, employ more staff and operate larger-scale campaigning actions. You could help raise greater public awareness We want everyone to know the horrifying dangers and tremendous costs of nuclear weapons, enabling them to make an informed decision on this important issue. A gift in your Will could help us achieve a world free of nuclear weapons within the lifetime of today’s children, giving them – and us – the ultimate gift: the gift of peace. If you would like to discuss how to make or update your will to include a gift to CND, you can call us on 020 7700 2393 and ask for our fundraising department, or send an email to [email protected].

  • Green Parties and Elections to the European Parliament, 1979–2019 Green Par Elections
    Chapter 1 Green Parties and Elections, 1979–2019 Green parties and elections to the European Parliament, 1979–2019 Wolfgang Rüdig Introduction The history of green parties in Europe is closely intertwined with the history of elections to the European Parliament. When the first direct elections to the European Parliament took place in June 1979, the development of green parties in Europe was still in its infancy. Only in Belgium and the UK had green parties been formed that took part in these elections; but ecological lists, which were the pre- decessors of green parties, competed in other countries. Despite not winning representation, the German Greens were particularly influ- enced by the 1979 European elections. Five years later, most partic- ipating countries had seen the formation of national green parties, and the first Green MEPs from Belgium and Germany were elected. Green parties have been represented continuously in the European Parliament since 1984. Subsequent years saw Greens from many other countries joining their Belgian and German colleagues in the Euro- pean Parliament. European elections continued to be important for party formation in new EU member countries. In the 1980s it was the South European countries (Greece, Portugal and Spain), following 4 GREENS FOR A BETTER EUROPE their successful transition to democracies, that became members. Green parties did not have a strong role in their national party systems, and European elections became an important focus for party develop- ment. In the 1990s it was the turn of Austria, Finland and Sweden to join; green parties were already well established in all three nations and provided ongoing support for Greens in the European Parliament.

  • Prosecuting Terrorism: the Old Bailey Versus Belmarsh by Clive Walker
    Prosecuting terrorism: the Old Bailey versus Belmarsh by Clive Walker Consistent with his “war on terror” paradigm, President George W Bush asserted that “it is not enough to serve our enemies with legal papers” (State of the Union Address, January 20, 2004). In resonance with this view, the prime legal focus in the immediate aftermath of 9/11 was more upon Belmarsh rather than the Old Bailey – in other words, upon detention without trial and latterly on control orders rather than prosecutions. However, this era of executive action is fading in United Kingdom domestic law. The first part of this paper will examine the foundations for the reinvigoration of criminal justice. The second part will explore the present and future implications for criminal justice.

  • An Introduction to Theory, Policy and Practice Green Economics
    Dorling, D. (2009) Review of Molly Scott Cato’s: Green economics: an introduction to theory, policy and practice, Journal of Economic Geography, doi:10.1093/jeg/lbp028 Green economics: an introduction to theory, policy and practice Molly Scott Cato Green economics: an introduction to theory, policy and practice Molly Scott Cato. London: Earthscan, 2009. ISBN 9781844075713. pp. Price: £19.99 (paper back), £75.00 (hard back). Do you want to be liked? Do you want to be popular? Are you a little tired of students evaluating your courses in economic geography, spatial econometrics or most other kinds of human geography, and all of economics as, by implication, a little boring, not quite at the cutting edge, not as good as what the new young—popular—lecturers are doing? Do you retort ‘what do they know?’ but in your heart of hearts are coming to think that perhaps your lectures are getting a little jaded on ‘location allocation models’, ‘regional convergence’ or even ‘thick institutions’ (and I do not mean the stupid kind). Are you becoming a little sick of telling students that it's all very complicated and everything needs to be deconstructed? In your heart of hearts (again) do not you hanker after being able to tell them something that is a little less self-defeating? You might just be worried about your job now that university funding in all the countries where geography is taught is about to go negative. You might no longer care, but you know you need to become a little more popular. Alternatively you may be ever so principled, take your teaching ever so seriously, not concern yourself with student surveys but still be interested in trying to teach the students right, no matter how complicated the story.
