It is neither an academic journal nor a political magazine. Instead it is designed to be a serious, lively and acces- sible forum for the leading edge of social, economic and political ideas, both from the UK and around the world. Six months after Demos’ launch, and with a climate of far greater openness to ideas across the political spectrum than anyone can remember, the time seemed propi- tious. For although at the time of the launch many criticised us for having exaggerated the pace of political change, and for being too dismissive of the viability of existing institutions, now, if anything, it looks as if our assessment may have been over cautious. The political systems of both Italy and Japan are in turmoil. Confidence in the parties and parliament here has fallen even further. And all over the world a great unravelling seems to be underway. Increasingly people are talking in terms of an historic shift towards new ideas, frameworks and institutions.As yet little of what will replace the old forms is clearly visible. But with societies and economies ever more oriented to knowledge and understanding, questions of learning seem destined to be at the top of the emerging agenda. This is why we have chosen to focus this issue on Howard Gardner’s work. Gardner’s willingness to mix theory, practice and advocacy gives his ideas a freshness and relevance which has been missing from the British educational debate. Demos vii Demos/Winter 1993 But his ideas also throw surprising light on the larger question of political failure. In the preface to the latest edition of his book ‘Frames of Mind’,Gardner points out that: ‘we have a plentiful supply of men and women who can supply leadership for scholarly disciplines, for the arts, business and other technical areas. But we desperately lack leadership for the wider society: people who are able to speak and be heard across interest groups and separate areas of technical expertise and address the broad concerns of society and even of humanity as a whole. I … have identified one reason for this apparent asynchrony. To provide leadership in a domain that highlights a certain intelligence the principal requirement is that a person excels in that intelligence. In the wider society however a would-be leader must be able to create a story about that society, a persuasive narrative that accounts for his or her place within it and one that can link individuals of different intelligences, domains and allegiances in a more incorporative enterprise…’ At present no one is doing that. Our politicians are too narrow in their experiences and concerns, as are most of our business leaders, writers and managers. Our prime focus in this issue is with learning, and with the many projects which are trying to put Gardner’s ideas into practice. But we have also highlighted other themes which will be central to Demos’ work in the years ahead. John Stewart, the UK’s leading authority on local government, pro- vides a comprehensive rebuttal of the UK government’s recent argu- ments on local accountability. Amitai Etzioni explains how morals and values can be learned. Our section of subscriber ideas includes Tim Pendry’s innovative solution for reconciling public moralities and indi- vidual freedom in retailing. And our section on Demos projects viii Demos Editorial includes Helen Wilkinson’s exposition of the argument behind the ‘Seven Million Project’ on the politics of younger women. In the year ahead we plan more themed issues of the Quarterly: on unemployment, the future of democracy and the politics of technol- ogy and science. In the meantime we welcome any feedback on the topics you think we should be addressing, and on the contents and style of what has already been published. Anyone reading this issue will discover that Demos has been very active during its first six months. we have published four booklets each of which has helped to shift the debate. Seminars and events have been held on everything from creative cities and auditing to the future of the British national identity. Our ideas have rapidly found an audience: in particular the tax proposals have been quickly taken up by both oppsition parties as well as generating great interest within govern- ment. Other initiatives include the Millennium Project (which makes Demos the first think-tank in Europe to use computer conferencing), a major lecture series in 1994 and several large-scale research projects. But it will also be immediately clear that our primary concern is not with the level of the PSBR or the pound, but rather with the fundamen- tal principles that lie behind everyday policies. This is the great vacuum in Western public life today – and it is to these fundamentals, and to the positive ideas that come from rethinking them with clarity – that we will be devoting our energies. Demos ix Opening minds Howard Gardner Over the last ten years the United States, like the UK, has been through two waves of concern about education.

Smith And approved by _______________________ _______________________ _______________________ _______________________ New Brunswick, New Jersey May 2008 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Black Internationalism and African and Caribbean Intellectuals in London, 1919-1950 By MARC MATERA Dissertation Director: Bonnie G. Smith During the three decades between the end of World War I and 1950, African and West Indian scholars, professionals, university students, artists, and political activists in London forged new conceptions of community, reshaped public debates about the nature and goals of British colonialism, and prepared the way for a revolutionary and self-consciously modern African culture. Black intellectuals formed organizations that became homes away from home and centers of cultural mixture and intellectual debate, and launched publications that served as new means of voicing social commentary and political dissent. These black associations developed within an atmosphere characterized by a variety of internationalisms, including pan-ethnic movements, feminism, communism, and the socialist internationalism ascendant within the British Left after World War I. The intellectual and political context of London and the types of sociability that these groups fostered gave rise to a range of black internationalist activity and new regional imaginaries in the form of a West Indian Federation and a United West Africa that shaped the goals of anticolonialism before 1950.

There CND 1958­65 had been one earlier attempt at a campaign, in 1954, when Britain was proceeding to make her own H­Bombs. Fourteen years later, Anthony Wedgwood Benn, who was one who led the Anti H­Bomb Petition then, was refusing the CND Aldermaston marchers permission to stop and hold a meeting on ministry land, outside the factory near Burghfield, Berks, making, warheads for Polaris submarine missiles. Autres temps, autres moeurs. Peggy Duff There were two reasons why it suddenly zoomed up in 1957.The first stimulus was the H­Bomb tests at Christmas Island in the Pacific. It was these that translated the committee formed in Hampstead in North London into a national campaign, and which brought into being a number of local committees around Britain which pre­dated CND itself — in Oxford, in Reading, in Kings Lynn and a number of other places. Tests were a constant and very present reminder of the menace of nuclear weapons, affecting especially the health of children, and of babies yet unborn. Fall­out seemed something uncanny, unseen and frightening. The Christmas Island tests, because they were British tests, at last roused opinion in Britain. The second reason was the failure of the Labour Party in the autumn of 1957 to pass, Peggy Duff was the first as expected, a resolution in favour of secretary of the Campaign unilateral abandonment of nuclear weapons for Nuclear Disarmament.

    Sir Richard Acland Et Le Parti Common Wealth Au Cours De La Deuxième Guerre Mondiale

    Cercles 11 (2004) LE DERNIER AVATAR DE LA NOTION DE COMMONWEALTH ? Sir Richard Acland et le parti Common Wealth au cours de la deuxième Guerre mondiale ANTOINE CAPET Université de Rouen Avant tout, il convient peut-être de présenter Sir Richard Acland (1906-1990).1 Issu d’une vieille famille de propriétaires terriens du Devon, son grand-père avait été ministre sous Gladstone, et il fut élu député libéral du North Devon en 1935. À la mort de son père quelques mois plus tard, il hérita du domaine foncier familial et du titre de baronet — d’où le Sir de Sir Richard Acland — mais, conformément à ses idéaux égalitaires, il légua toutes ses terres au National Trust en 1943. La virulence de ses prises de position anti-fascistes et anti-apaisement le conduira dans les années 1938-1939 à être en rupture de ban avec son parti, et le tournant de Dunkerque en mai-juin 1940 lui donnera la chance qu’il attendait de « régénérer » la Grande- Bretagne. Le rapprochement qu’il effectue alors avec certains intellectuels de la gauche non travailliste et non communiste aboutira à la création en 1941 du mouvement Forward March, qui fusionnera en 1942 avec le 1941 Committee pour former le parti Common Wealth.2 Avant de parler du parti lui-même, il convient peut-être de faire un petit peu, non pas de philosophie, mais de philologie, et avant d’aborder l’histoire des idées, il convient peut-être de faire un petit peu d’histoire de la langue. Le nom retenu pour le nouveau parti n’est en effet pas anodin.

PREFACE '•"^AN these bones live ? . and the breath came into them, and they ^-^ lived, and stood up upon their feet, an exceeding great army.' The question, that was asked in Ezekiel's vision, seems to have been answered satisfactorily ; but it is no easy matter to breathe life into the dry bones of more than a thousand pedigrees : for not many of us are interested in the genealogies of others ; though indeed to those few such an interest is a living thing. Several of the following pedigrees are to be found among the most ancient of authenticated genealogical records : almost all of them have been derived from accepted and standard works ; and the most modern authorities have been consulted ; while many pedigrees, that seemed to be doubtful, have been omitted. Their special interest is to be found in the fact that (with the exception of some of those whose names are recorded in the Wallop pedigree, including Sir John Wallop, K.G., who ' walloped' the French in 1515) every person, whose lineage is shown, is a direct (not a collateral) ancestor of a family, whose continuous descent can be traced since the thirteenth century, and whose name is identical with that part of England in which its members have held land for more than seven hundred and fifty years.

    Mother England, Mother Ireland: National Allegoryand Maternal Authority in Anglo-Irish Literature and Culture, 1880-1922 Andrea Christina Bobotis Greenville, South Carolina MA in English Literature and Language, University of Virginia, 2002 BA in English Literature and Language, Furman University, 1998 A Dissertation presented to the Graduate Faculty of the University of Virginia in Candidacy for the Degreeof Doctor of Philosophy Department of English University of Virginia May,2007 Abstract "Mother England, Mother Ireland" proposes a new way of reading allegories of nation-building and national identity in Anglo-Irish literature at the end of the nineteenth century. I argue that authors who claimed affiliations with both England and Ireland (Maud Gonne, Lady Augusta Gregory, Bram Stoker, and Oscar Wilde) exploited the capacity of allegory to infiltratea range of genres and, in doing so, discovered hidden potential in the links between motherhood and motherland. Examining nonfiction, novels, drama, speeches, and public spectacles, I show how these writers adapted allegorical representations of Ireland as a mother not only to confrontIreland's vexed political and cultural relationship with England, but also to explore cross-cultural links between Ireland and Britain's outlying colonies. ii Table of Contents Introduction: Reconsidering National Allegory 1 Rival Maternities: Maud Gonne, Queen Victoria, and the Reign of the Political Mother 20 Collaborative Motherhood in Lady Gregory's Nonfiction 62 The Princess as Artist: Mother-Daughter Relations in the Irish Allegory of Oscar Wilde's Salome 114 Technologies of the Maternalin Bram Stoker's The Lady of the Shroud 154 Bibliography 190 Endnotes 201 Introduction Reconsidering National Allegory In the late 1880s the Anglo-Irishwoman Fanny Parnellwas at the height of her popularity as an Irish nationalist poet.

    90 Cercles 37 (2020) THE ROAD FROM 1945 KENNETH O. MORGAN University of Oxford My old friend, Paul Addison was a comrade in more senses than one. We first met in Oxford in the mid-1960s when Paul was a research fellow at Nuffield College. We were reunited in 1970 when Paul was a lecturer at Edinburgh and I was working on my book on Keir Hardie at the National Library of Scotland. Paul was a man of immense charm, thoughtfulness and personal loyalty, quite apart from our sharing the same centre-left political views. I was very fond of him. He was a man of remarkable modesty. I have some letters of his from late 1975 when his great book The Road to 1945 was on the point of appearing. Astonishingly, he writes to me that ‘I have been in real dejection about it, convinced that it is all but a failure’.1 Two weeks later he has seen two rightly glowing reviews, by A.J.P. Taylor in the Observer [19 October 1975], and by me in the Times Literary Supplement [17 October 1975], and his morale is fully restored. Of course, from the day of its publication to the present, it has been acknowledged throughout the academic world as one of the outstanding, most important works ever written on twentieth-century British history. He was to write several other fine books later, on the career of Winston Churchill and on British social change after 1945, but The Road to 1945 is the masterpiece by which his standing as a fine scholar will always be measured.
