Oui2.Pdf (2.141Mb) COLONIAL CAPITALISM AND THE DILEMMAS OF LIBERALISM: LOCKE, BURKE, WAKEFIELD AND THE BRITISH EMPIRE A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Onur Ulas Ince August 2013 © 2103 Onur Ulas Ince Colonial Capitalism and the Dilemmas of Liberalism: Locke, Burke, Wakefield and the British Empire Onur Ulas Ince, PhD Cornell University 2013 This dissertation offers a historical investigation of liberalism as a unified yet internally variegated intellectual field that has developed in relation to “colonial capitalism.” I examine the impact of colonial economic relations on the historical formation of liberalism, which is often overlooked in the scholarship on the history of political thought. Focusing on the British Empire between the late-seventeenth and early-nineteenth centuries, I analyze three historical cases in which the liberal self-image of capitalism in Britain was contradicted by the manifestly illiberal processes of displacement and coercion in its imperial possessions. I situate this contradiction within the debates on property claims in American colonies, the trade relation between Britain and its Indian dominions, and the labor problem during the colonial settlement of Australia and New Zealand. Corresponding to the three nodal questions of “property,” “exchange,” and “labor,” I analyze the works of John Locke, Edmund Burke, and Edward Gibbon Wakefield as three prominent political theorists who attempted to reconcile the liberal image of Britain as a commercial and pacific society with the illiberal processes of conquest, expropriation, and extraction of British colonialism. Highlighting the global and colonial as opposed to the national or European terrain on which modern economic relations and their political theorization have emerged, I emphasize the need to situate the history of political thought in a global context. I conclude that the historical evolution of liberalism cannot be properly grasped without an account of the colonial origins of global capitalism and of the problems of legitimacy these colonial origins posed for political theory. BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH Onur Ulas Ince completed his undergraduate studies in Political Science and International Relations and in Sociology at Bogazici University in 2004. He received his M.A. degree in Sociology from the University of British Columbia in 2006 and his Ph.D. degree in Government from Cornell University in 2013. Ince’s research is grounded in the history of political thought, history of capitalism, theories of empire, and modern social theory. His articles have appeared in Polity and The Review of Politics. iii Annem Hülya İnce ve Babam Nedim İnce’ye. Desteğinizi hiçbir zaman esirgemediğiniz için sonsuz teşekkürler. iv ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS As it takes a village to raise a child, it takes an intellectual community to write a dissertation. Cornell University not only provided me with such a community but also granted me the opportunity to extend it beyond Cornell’s institutional boundaries. I have incurred many debts in bringing this project to fruition. The heaviest of these are owed to my committee members: Susan Buck-Morss, whose penchant for unorthodoxy kept me going when I doubted the sense and sanity of my dissertation; Isaac Kramnick, whose great mentorship, emotional support, and magnanimity in buying drinks buoyed me in the Odyssey of graduate studies; Jason Frank, who astutely illuminated the questions I was chasing in the thick of research when those questions were obscure to me; Richard Bensel, who never wavered in his commitment to provide extensive feedback, practical advice, and a steady pressure to produce one chapter after another; and Diane Rubenstein, who combined her sharp acumen with her generosity of spirit to make all of our exchanges, on and beyond academic matters, intellectually stimulating and truly enjoyable. Aziz Rana deserves special thanks for his incisive comments at various stages of producing this work, especially in his capacity as the external reader. My partner, Sinja Graf, has my everlasting gratitude for her formidable patience, receptivity, and care in listening to my ruminations, however inchoate, and reading every piece of writing I have thrown at her since the inception of this project. I am looking to more of the same for the decades to come. Some of the ideas and insights central to this project emerged from several institutional involvements during my time at Cornell University. I found an intellectual home at the Institute for Comparative Modernities (ICM) and benefited greatly from its lecture series, conferences, v and reading groups, as well as from interactions with individual ICM members. Among the latter, I should mention Barry Maxwell, Shelley Wong, Raymond Craib, Fouad Makki, Viranjini Munasinghe, Natalie Melas, and Salah Hassan. I will always be thankful to Barry Maxwell for pulling me into the ICM as soon as it got off the ground. I was also fortunate enough to be part of the New Enclosures Research Working Group (NERWG) at Cornell, which expanded my research horizon and gave me the opportunity to expose my work to the criticisms of James Scott, Silvia Federici, and George Caffentzis. Of the founding members of the NERWG, I owe Charles Geisler special thanks. Finally, the Institute for Global Law and Policy (IGLP) organized by Harvard Law School provided an ecumenical venue for intellectual exchange. I would like to thank Odette Lineau for her encouragement to get involved, and Matthew Craven, Sundhya Pahuja, and Zoran Oklopcic for their close and insightful engagement with the first chapter the dissertation at the IGLP Workshop 2013. Many friends and colleagues played various parts in the incubation of this project and I can only hope that they will continue to do so in the future. I have found great inspiration, kindred spirits, and collegial support in a number of scholars working in the field of political theory and empire. Amongst those, James Tully, Karuna Mantena, Barbara Arneil, Robert Nichols, and Jeanne Morefield have a special place. I should express my gratitude to J. G. A. Pocock for reading a very long chapter on E. G. Wakefield and taking the time to send written feedback. My exchanges with Burke Hendrix were a kind of intellectual calisthenics that kept my thinking in shape and aware of itself. Daniel O’Neill’s advice and support propped me up at moments of palpable confusion and despair. Ayca Cubukcu and Baris Kuymulu deserve more than my heartfelt thanks for their unflinching honesty about my work as well as for their warm hospitality in Cambridge, MA, which one can expect only from the truest of friends. Pinar vi Kemerli and Simon Gilhooley were always there to share the joys and sorrows that the vicissitudes of graduate school brings in tow. I will fondly remember the long conversations with Anthony Reed and Carl Gelderloos on life, universe, and everything. My Ithacan friends, Gregor Sayet-Bone, Yossi Bronsnick, and Katie Church kept me grounded and sane. I should not forget to mention Tina Slater, the graduate field coordinator of the Government Department, without whom life would be a Kafkaesque bureaucratic nightmare. I will remain grateful to everyone mentioned here and to many more who added to the richness of my life and thought in Ithaca and whom I cannot include in the limited space I have there. vii TABLE OF CONTENTS Biographical Sketch iii Dedication iv Acknowledgements v Introduction 1 Colonialism, Capitalism, Liberalism 7 The British Empire and Middle-Class Intellectuals 12 Liberalism, Empire, and Beyond 16 Chapter I: Colonial Capitalism and the Dilemmas of Liberalism Introduction 25 The Empire Strikes Back: An Overview 30 Colonial Capitalism as an Analytic Frame 42 The Dilemmas of Liberalism 57 Overview of the Study 70 Conclusion 80 Chapter II: John Locke’s Global Theory of Property Introduction 84 Locke and the Atlantic 87 Money and Morality of Accumulation 105 Back to the Beginning 126 Conclusion 147 Chapter III: Edmund Burke and the Vicissitudes of Imperial Commerce Introduction 153 British Empire, British Self-Image 161 Burke’s Commercial Ideal 174 The Dialectics of Commerce 186 Burke’s “Peculiar” Universalism 199 Conclusion 209 Chapter IV: Edward G.

Part of this defense was an extension of the globalization debates of the 1990s and emblematized by Michael Iganiteff’s Empire Lite.1 The more avowed and controversial advocacy of empire entered circulation with Niall Ferguson’s books Empire and Colossus, which eulogized the British Empire and advised the American empire to derive some lessons from its predecessor.2 Around the same time Ferguson published his imperial apologetics, the field of political theory witnessed a growing interest in the intersection of imperial histories and modes of political reflection, which ran counter to Ferguson’s conclusions.3 The main thrust of this scholarship has been to denounce the liberal portrayals of the British Empire by unearthing the philosophies of exclusion and practices of subordination that typified its history.4 Curiously, however, there has been a striking incongruity between Ferguson’s liberal depiction of the British Empire and the scholarly critiques that lambast it on the grounds of its illiberality. 1 Michael Ignatieff, Empire Lite: Nation-Building in Bosnia, Kosovo, and Afghanistan (Toronto: Penguin, 2003).

In a letter I received from Ofcom, the regulator states: Wednesday 25 November 2009 “Ofcom does not have the power to mandate ISPs”— internet service providers. Surely that power is overdue, because otherwise, many of my constituents, along with The House met at half-past Eleven o’clock those of my colleagues, will continue to receive a poor broadband service.

  • Rethinking Arboreal Heritage for Twenty-First-Century Aotearoa New Zealand
    NATURAL MONUMENTS: RETHINKING ARBOREAL HERITAGE FOR TWENTY-FIRST-CENTURY AOTEAROA NEW ZEALAND Susette Goldsmith A thesis submitted to Victoria University of Wellington in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Victoria University of Wellington 2018 ABSTRACT The twenty-first century is imposing significant challenges on nature in general with the arrival of climate change, and on arboreal heritage in particular through pressures for building expansion. This thesis examines the notion of tree heritage in Aotearoa New Zealand at this current point in time and questions what it is, how it comes about, and what values, meanings and understandings and human and non-human forces are at its heart. While the acknowledgement of arboreal heritage can be regarded as the duty of all New Zealanders, its maintenance and protection are most often perceived to be the responsibility of local authorities and heritage practitioners. This study questions the validity of the evaluation methods currently employed in the tree heritage listing process, tree listing itself, and the efficacy of tree protection provisions. The thesis presents a multiple case study of discrete sites of arboreal heritage that are all associated with a single native tree species—karaka (Corynocarpus laevigatus). The focus of the case studies is not on the trees themselves, however, but on the ways in which the tree sites fill the heritage roles required of them entailing an examination of the complicated networks of trees, people, events, organisations, policies and politics situated within the case studies, and within arboreal heritage itself. Accordingly, the thesis adopts a critical theoretical perspective, informed by various interpretations of Actor Network Theory and Assemblage Theory, and takes a ‘counter-’approach to the authorised heritage discourse introducing a new notion of an ‘unauthorised arboreal heritage discourse’.

  • Dear Secretary Salazar: I Strongly
    Dear Secretary Salazar: I strongly oppose the Bush administration's illegal and illogical regulations under Section 4(d) and Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act, which reduce protections to polar bears and create an exemption for greenhouse gas emissions. I request that you revoke these regulations immediately, within the 60-day window provided by Congress for their removal. The Endangered Species Act has a proven track record of success at reducing all threats to species, and it makes absolutely no sense, scientifically or legally, to exempt greenhouse gas emissions -- the number-one threat to the polar bear -- from this successful system. I urge you to take this critically important step in restoring scientific integrity at the Department of Interior by rescinding both of Bush's illegal regulations reducing protections to polar bears.

  • The Cambridge School Richard Bourke
    The Cambridge School Richard Bourke 1. What are the origins of the Cambridge School? The existence of a “Cambridge School” was first identified by J. G. A. Pocock in the early 1970s, but the description was intended to refer to an approach to the history of ideas that began to achieve prominence in the 1960s. The practitioners whom Pocock had in mind as exemplary members of this School included himself, Quentin Skinner and John Dunn. Over time, it became clear that these three figures had distinct concerns in the fields of intellectual history and political theory. Pocock himself has tended to focus his research on the history of historiography, Skinner on the history of philosophy, and Dunn on political theory understood as a branch of historical inquiry. However, in the 1960s they shared much common ground. By the end of the decade, they had all contributed to methodological debates in the history of ideas. At the same time, each of them had made significant contributions to the study of the history of political thought itself: Pocock, the eldest of the three, had produced a major account of the ideology of ancient constitutionalism in seventeenth-century English political debate; Dunn had produced his classic treatment of the political thought of John Locke; and Skinner had published original studies of the political philosophy of Thomas Hobbes. What distinguished these works was their use of properly historical forms of investigation to explore the writings of past thinkers. This meant eschewing a range of historical fallacies: most importantly, anachronism, prolepsis, and teleology. It also entailed treating ideas as arguments rather than as disembodied entities.

  • The London Journal of Edward Jerningham Wakefield 1845-46
    REVIEWS 203 The London Journal of Edward Jerningham Wakefield 1845-46. Edited by Joan Stevens. Alexander Turnbull Library and Victoria University of Wellington, 1972. xv, 192 pp. N.Z. price: $6.00. LIKE HIS father, Edward Gibbon Wakefield, Jerningham Wakefield had energy, ambition, the ability to mesmerise, and a fluent pen. With his father, he immersed himself in the politics of colonisation and of colonies them- selves, but to even less personal advancement. For Jerningham Wakefield managed his money, thirst and sexual energy imprudently enough to thwart his more public ambitions. He achieved little but a modest share in the life-work of another man: his father. Yet our historical sources would be the poorer without his lively Adven- ture in New Zealand, first published in 1845, soon after his return to Eng- land. That personal story is unexpectedly continued in a journal recently discovered, lodged in the Alexander Turnbull Library, and now published for the first time. The Journal, written mainly in London in 1845 and 1846, is compressed, often cryptic, and comparatively short. Its contents will re- quire few historians to revise their conclusions about either the Wakefields or the politics of colonisation. Nevertheless it contains considerable circum- stantial detail of a particular stage in the evolution of the Otago and Can- terbury schemes of settlement, and also a few interesting scraps of informa- tion about the New Zealand Company's dealings with the Whig and Tory politicians of the day. The change of government in 1846 brought hope to most protagonists of colonisation, but immediate disappointment to the Wakefields.

CREATING ECONOMY: MERCHANTS IN SEVENTEENTH-CENTURY ENGLAND by BRAXTON HALL Under the Direction of Jacob Selwood, PhD ABSTRACT Between 1620 and 1700, merchants in England debated the economic framework of the kingdom. The system they created is commonly referred to as ‘mercantilism’ and many historians have concluded that there was a consensus among economists that supported the balance of trade and restricted foreign markets. While that economic consensus existed, merchants also had to adopt new ways of thinking about religion, foreigners, and naturalization because of the system they created. Merchants like Josiah Child in the latter part of the seventeenth century were more acceptant of strangers and they were more tolerant of religion that their predecessors

  • Labourers' Letters in the New Zealand Journal, Wellington, 1840-45: Lefebvre, Bernstein and Pedagogies of Appropriation
    Labourers' letters in the New Zealand Journal, Wellington, 1840-45: Lefebvre, Bernstein and pedagogies of appropriation. Sue Middleton School of Education, University of Waikato, Hamilton, New Zealand School of Education University of Waikato Private Bag 3105, Waikato Mail Centre Hamilton 3240 New Zealand. Email: [email protected] Paper presented at the British Educational Research Association Annual Conference, University of Manchester, 2-5 September 2009 Henri Lefebvre suggested that social researchers engage in „the concrete analysis of rhythms‟ in order to reveal the „pedagogy of appropriation (the appropriation of the body, as of spatial practice)‟. Lefebvre‟s spatial analysis has influenced educational researchers, while the idea of „pedagogy‟ has travelled beyond education. This interdisciplinary paper combines Lefebvre‟s analytical trilogy of perceived, conceived and lived spaces with Bernstein‟s „pedagogical device‟ in an interrogation of historical documents. It engages in a „rhythm analysis‟ of the New Zealand Company‟s „pedagogical appropriation‟ of a group of agricultural labourers into its „systematic colonisation scheme‟. The temporal-spatial rhythms of the labourers‟ lives are accessible in nine surviving letters they wrote in Wellington and sent to Surrey between 1841-1844. By revealing how their bodies were „traversed by rhythms rather as the „ether‟ is traversed by waves,‟ we understand how bodies, social space and the self are mutually constitutive and constituted. Keywords: history; Lefebvre; letters/literacy; colonisation Education‟s fragmented fields of inquiry retain some coherence in their common orientation around the „pedagogical.‟ As borders between human sciences became increasingly porous, the idea of „the pedagogical‟ flowed beyond education into disciplines such as geography.

    "THEATER AND EMPIRE: A HISTORY OF ASSUMPTIONS IN THE ENGLISH-SPEAKING ATLANTIC WORLD, 1700-1860" BY ©2008 Douglas S. Harvey Submitted to the graduate degree program in History and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. ____________________________________ Chairperson Committee Members* ___________________________________* ___________________________________* ___________________________________* ___________________________________* Date Defended: April 7, 2008 The Dissertation Committee for Douglas S. Harvey certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: "THEATER AND EMPIRE: A HISTORY OF ASSUMPTIONS IN THE ENGLISH-SPEAKING ATLANTIC WORLD, 1700-1860" Committee ____________________________________ Chairperson ___________________________________* ___________________________________* ___________________________________* ___________________________________* Date Approved: April 7, 2008 ii Abstract It was no coincidence that commercial theater, a market society, the British middle class, and the “first” British Empire arose more or less simultaneously. In the seventeenth century, the new market economic paradigm became increasingly dominant, replacing the old feudal economy. Theater functioned to “explain” this arrangement to the general populace and gradually it became part of what I call a “culture of empire” – a culture built up around the search for resources and markets that characterized imperial expansion. It also rationalized the depredations the Empire brought to those whose resources and labor were coveted by expansionists. This process intensified with the independence of the thirteen North American colonies, and theater began representing Native Americans and African American populations in ways that rationalized the dominant society’s behavior toward them. By utilizing an interdisciplinary approach, this research attempts to advance a more nuanced and realistic narrative of empire in the early modern and early republic periods.
