  • People, Places and Policy
    People, Places and Policy Set within the context of UK devolution and constitutional change, People, Places and Policy offers important and interesting insights into ‘place-making’ and ‘locality-making’ in contemporary Wales. Combining policy research with policy-maker and stakeholder interviews at various spatial scales (local, regional, national), it examines the historical processes and working practices that have produced the complex political geography of Wales. This book looks at the economic, social and political geographies of Wales, which in the context of devolution and public service governance are hotly debated. It offers a novel ‘new localities’ theoretical framework for capturing the dynamics of locality-making, to go beyond the obsession with boundaries and coterminous geog- raphies expressed by policy-makers and politicians. Three localities – Heads of the Valleys (north of Cardiff), central and west coast regions (Ceredigion, Pembrokeshire and the former district of Montgomeryshire in Powys) and the A55 corridor (from Wrexham to Holyhead) – are discussed in detail to illustrate this and also reveal the geographical tensions of devolution in contemporary Wales. This book is an original statement on the making of contemporary Wales from the Wales Institute of Social and Economic Research, Data and Methods (WISERD) researchers. It deploys a novel ‘new localities’ theoretical framework and innovative mapping techniques to represent spatial patterns in data. This allows the timely uncovering of both unbounded and fuzzy relational policy geographies, and the more bounded administrative concerns, which come together to produce and reproduce over time Wales’ regional geography. The Open Access version of this book, available at www.tandfebooks.com, has been made available under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives 3.0 license.

  • Who's Progressive Now?
    Who’s progressive now? Greg Clark MP Jeremy Hunt MP Who’s progressive now? Greg Clark MP Jeremy Hunt MP 1 Acknowledgments The authors would like to thank Peter Franklin, Joanna Garner, Adam Smith and David O’Leary for their help in preparing this booklet. 2 Chapter 1: Progressive politics Introduction – whatever happened to the ‘Progressive Consensus’? During the last five years, Gordon Brown and his retinue of younger advisers have been on a quest – to define a political project that will in turn define his premiership. It has proved to be an arid task. Smith Institute seminars in 11 Downing Street have cast around in vain for a purpose that could be described coherently, let alone one that could be said to define the Brown vision. In the end, the task has been abandoned. Three events in the space of three weeks signalled the emptiness of Labour’s intellectual larder. First - the new Prime Minister’s barren conference speech in Brighton in September revealed that the preceding groundwork of seminars, symposia and speeches had offered up nothing usable. Next, the cancellation of the expected election, which was explained as allowing the Prime Minister another two years to set out his vision, was in fact a recognition that there was no vision to set out that would survive the scrutiny of an election campaign. Then came the intellectual surrender of the following week, in which Conservative reforms to inheritance tax set the agenda for what was, in effect, the first Budget of the Brown premiership. With no new idea that did not come from the Opposition, Alistair Darling’s statement signalled the end of the new regime’s ambition to forge an agenda of its own.

  • 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.
