  • Choosing Futures: Alva Myrdal and the Construction of Swedish Futures Studies, 1967–1972Ã
    IRSH 51 (2006), pp. 277–295 DOI: 10.1017/S0020859006002458 # 2006 Internationaal Instituut voor Sociale Geschiedenis Choosing Futures: Alva Myrdal and the Construction of Swedish Futures Studies, 1967–1972à Jenny Andersson Summary: This article discusses the Swedish discourse on futures studies in the late 1960s and early 1970s. It focuses on the futures discourse of the group appointed by the Prime Minister, Olof Palme, in 1967 under the chairmanship of Alva Myrdal. The Swedish futures discourse focused on futures studies as a democratic means of reform in defence of the Swedish model and ‘‘Swedish’’ values of solidarity and equality, in opposition to an international futurology dominated by the Cold War and dystopic narratives of global disaster. The article suggests that the creation of Swedish futures studies, culminating in a Swedish institute for futures studies, can be seen as a highpoint of postwar planning and the Swedish belief in the possibility of constructing a particularly Swedish future from a particularly Swedish past. INTRODUCTION In 1971, the Swedish Prime Minister and leader of the Social Democratic Party (Socialdemokratiska arbetareparti, SAP), Olof Palme, appointed a group chaired by Alva Myrdal – feminist, social policy researcher, ambassador, minister, and eventually, in 1982, Nobel Peace Prize laureate1 – to study the future. In the early 1970s, Alva Myrdal was well-known through her work on disarmament and world peace, as well as, in the Swedish political context, her radical equality programme for the SAP in 1969. The equality programme was an ambitious attempt to relate social democratic ideology to the critique of the late 1960s and to rethink the à This article was first presented to the conference Alva Myrdal’s Questions to Our Time, Uppsala, 6–8 March 2002, and subsequently published in Swedish as ‘‘Alvas framtider’’, in Christina Florin and Torbjo¨ rn Lundqvist (eds), Historia – en va¨g till framtiden?

  • The Gordian Knot: Apartheid & the Unmaking of the Liberal World Order, 1960-1970
    THE GORDIAN KNOT: APARTHEID & THE UNMAKING OF THE LIBERAL WORLD ORDER, 1960-1970 DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of the Ohio State University By Ryan Irwin, B.A., M.A. History ***** The Ohio State University 2010 Dissertation Committee: Professor Peter Hahn Professor Robert McMahon Professor Kevin Boyle Professor Martha van Wyk © 2010 by Ryan Irwin All rights reserved. ABSTRACT This dissertation examines the apartheid debate from an international perspective. Positioned at the methodological intersection of intellectual and diplomatic history, it examines how, where, and why African nationalists, Afrikaner nationalists, and American liberals contested South Africa’s place in the global community in the 1960s. It uses this fight to explore the contradictions of international politics in the decade after second-wave decolonization. The apartheid debate was never at the center of global affairs in this period, but it rallied international opinions in ways that attached particular meanings to concepts of development, order, justice, and freedom. As such, the debate about South Africa provides a microcosm of the larger postcolonial moment, exposing the deep-seated differences between politicians and policymakers in the First and Third Worlds, as well as the paradoxical nature of change in the late twentieth century. This dissertation tells three interlocking stories. First, it charts the rise and fall of African nationalism. For a brief yet important moment in the early and mid-1960s, African nationalists felt genuinely that they could remake global norms in Africa’s image and abolish the ideology of white supremacy through U.N.

The answer that generated popular approval concerned the defence of Belgian neutrality, defiled by German invasion in the execution of the Schlieffen Plan. Less appealing, and therefore less invoked for public consumption, but broadly consistent with this promoted justification, was Britain’s long-standing interest in maintaining a balance of power on the continent, which a German victory would not only disrupt, according to Foreign Office officials, but replace with a ‘political dictatorship’ inimical to political freedom.1 Yet only 6 days before the British declaration of war, on 30 July, the chairman of the Liberal Foreign Affairs Group, Arthur Ponsonby, informed Prime Minister Asquith that ‘nine tenths of the [Liberal] party’ supported neutrality.

  • Scotland's Global Empire Internals.Indd
    1 Genesis of an empire ‘We look to Scotland for all our ideas of civilisation’ — Voltaire he Scottish Empire is, of course, illusory but the giants who spread their infl uence Tacross the globe off er tangible evidence that, had they had the mind to make it so, the saltire of St Andrew or the more fl amboyant lion rampant might have fl own across much of the civilised world and the atlases could have had a very diff erent hue. Th is, however, is not an empire of colonisation that diminishes or enslaves those whom it embraces. It involves neither the greed nor the ruthlessness so oft en inherent in empire-building. It is without condescension: an empire that breaks down barriers rather than creating ownership and, it can be claimed, enhances civilisation. Where would you plant the fl ag to claim sovereignty of ideas and philosophies? Th is is not a recital of the adventures of conquering heroes, although some are included. Th e empire I have in mind is more an outreach of ideas, the story of human endeavour in its many forms, pushing at the boundaries of the imagination and stretching the accepted order. It sweeps from the foothills of press freedom to the high plains of moral philosophy; from the oceans of ingenuity to the great rivers of physical courage; from the borderlands where determination meets initiative to the mighty mountain ranges of originality. It encompasses everything from the spirit of pioneering to the mystical qualities of leadership. It’s luckily not dependent on a seat of power and nor is it aff ected by the bruising arguments about Scotland’s place within the UK or as an independent state.

  • Sydney Institute of Agriculture Georgika
    Sydney Institute of Agriculture Georgika Edition 3, December 2020 Georgika - an online newsletter for those interested in academic aspects of the Ag sector From the Director Alex McBratney Please enjoy the latest edition of Georgika where we highlight our research work in agriculture, our people and our ongoing links to our alumni and collaborators and stakeholders in the agricultural sector. This has been an unparalleled year in many ways – a pandemic and record yields on our farms. Something to remember forever. Some of us think the sooner we get to a new one the better. I’d like to thank everyone for all their diligent hard work over such a difficult year – despite the challenges I believe we are in a stronger position institutionally and nationally in relation to our agricultural effort, commitment, and standing than we were at the beginning of the year. So, I wish you a wonderful break. Take it – enjoy it. Wishing you a very happy and successful 2021 – it’s got to be better than this one. Distant links to Sydney I have been to loads of agriculture conferences around the world and we are often reminded of the phenomenal pioneering crop-breeding work of the Iowan, Norman Borlaug and his many colleagues and co-workers that led to his being awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1970. Often this is stated as the first, and the only, Nobel prize in agriculture. In the nineteen twenties and thirties John Boyd Orr was Director of the Rowett Research Institute, famous for its work on animal nutrition.
