    ORGANISING ANARCHY SPATIAL STRATEGY , PREFIGURATION , AND THE POLITICS OF EVERYDAY LIFE ANTHONY JAMES ELLIOT INCE THESIS SUBMITTED FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY DEPARTMENT OF GEOGRAPHY QUEEN MARY , UNIVERSITY OF LONDON 2010 0 ABSTRACT This research is an analysis of efforts to develop a politics of everyday life through embedding anarchist and left-libertarian ideas and practices into community and workplace organisation. It investigates everyday life as a key terrain of political engagement, interrogating the everyday spatial strategies of two emerging forms of radical politics. The community dimension of the research focuses on two London-based social centre collectives, understood as community-based, anarchist-run political spaces. The Industrial Workers of the World (IWW), an international trade union that organises along radical left-libertarian principles, comprises the workplace element. The empirical research was conducted primarily through an activist-ethnographic methodology. Based in a politically-engaged framework, the research opens up debates surrounding the role of place-based class politics in a globalised world, and how such efforts can contribute to our understanding of social relations, place, networks, and political mobilisation and transformation. The research thus contributes to and provides new perspectives on understanding and enacting everyday spatial strategies. Utilising Marxist and anarchist thought, the research develops a distinctive theoretical framework that draws inspiration from both perspectives. Through an emphasis on how groups seek to implement particular radical principles, the research also explores the complex interactions between theory and practice in radical politics. I argue that it is in everyday spaces and practices where we find the most powerful sources for political transformation.

  • The Irish Working Class and the War of Independence
    The Irish Working Class and the War of Independence Conor Kostick of rural workers battled white armies of the FFF (Farmers Freedom Force). In the west, where great tracts of land were still owned by absentee landlords, the struggle took the form of small farmers breaking up the large estates or in some cases appropriating them collectively and working them as soviets.1 Yet, of course, it was in the urban centres that the working class displayed the great- ‘Workers Soviet Mills, We Make Bread Not Profits’ est militancy and in addition to an almost continuous sequence of strikes and local gen- eral strikes there were five crucial turning points in these revolutionary years created In the coming centenary commemora- by urban working class activity: firstly, a tions of the Easter Rising of 1916 there will general strike against conscription; secondly, be a great deal of enthusiasm for the efforts a general strike at the beginning of 1919 in of that generation to escape the British Em- Belfast; thirdly, the Limerick Soviet of April pire.

  • History of Roads Service.Pub
    1 A History of Roads Service 1973 - 2005 2 3 Foreword In late 2003 the Northern Ireland Branch of the County Surveyors’ Society proposed that Roads Service should commission a printed document describing the creation of the organi- sation and the first 30 years of its history. In addition, consideration was to be given to the establishment of a physical archive of important documents and other material. This proposal was accepted in late 2004 and this document is the result of the efforts of the authors which have included consultation and discussion with many members of staff, both past and present. We were asked to prepare a history that was formal rather than anecdo- tal. It was acknowledged that there would be some overlap with other publications and in par- ticular the Institution of Highways and Transportation Silver Jubilee document of 1989, the Roads Service Jubilee Reflections of 1998, and the Northern Ireland Motorway Achieve- ment of 2002. We considered it important to set the formation of the organisation in the context of the pro- posals to reshape local government which were developed between 1966 and 1970. There are of course proposals stemming from the recent Review of Public Administration which may have far reaching implications for the Roads Service as we have known it over the last 33 years. In a publication such as this, it is not possible to record all organisational changes or cap- ture references to all functions the organisation carried out. However we hope that readers will find something of interest in the document. Finally, this document would not have been possible without the generous assistance of many people, the names of whom we have acknowledged in Appendix E.

  • The Politics of Anti-Austerity in Liverpool: a More-Than-Cuts Approach
    THE POLITICS OF ANTI-AUSTERITY IN LIVERPOOL: A MORE-THAN-CUTS APPROACH THESIS SUBMITTED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF LIVERPOOL FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR IN PHILOSOPHY BY JOSHUA BLAMIRE OCTOBER 2017 Department of Geography and Planning School of Environmental Science University of Liverpool ABSTRACT This thesis examines the politics of anti-austerity in Liverpool, UK. Through a politically- engaged activist ethnography, interviews with anti-austerity activists and city councillors, and content analysis, the research explores how both grassroots actors and Liverpool City Council conceptualise and politicise austerity, as well as how they imagine, or begin to enact, political alternatives to austerity. In response to growing calls from geographers to interrogate the situatedness of anti-austerity politics, this thesis adopts an explicitly spatial reading of the organic evolution of anti-austerity resistance. Through so doing, it illustrates how a crisis that was initially sparked by mortgage defaults in the US has resulted, a decade later, in the contested reshaping of what a Liverpudlian political identity is, or should be. Accordingly, this thesis critiques dominant structuralist accounts that depict people and place as passive victims in the roll-out of austerity politics, which lead to politically disempowering analyses. The research considers what the potentialities and limits are to the conduct of anti-austerity politics at the municipal scale, and reveals that Liverpool City Council’s strategy of austerity-inspired urban entrepreneurialism, coupled with more nuanced strategies to pursue social justice within a competitive neoliberal environment, was dominant. The voices of grassroots activists were unheard in public political debate, and their politics was constrained by a number of structural and strategic dysfunctions.
