What representations use the restrictions on arms sales against countries that are we making to the Turkish Government? are treating their own subjects badly in terms of human rights? Mr Lidington: We regularly raise human rights concerns, including freedom of the media, with Turkish officials, and Ministers and will continue to do so. I believe that Mr Hammond: The purpose of the consolidated criteria the EU accession process provides the best mechanism is to ensure that arms are not exported into situations through which to press and encourage Turkey to move where those arms will make the situation worse. I believe further in the right direction. that the current regime is effective. The hon.

  • Conditions of Dependence Working-Class Quiescence in Lancaster in the Twentieth Century*
    ALAN WARDE CONDITIONS OF DEPENDENCE WORKING-CLASS QUIESCENCE IN LANCASTER IN THE TWENTIETH CENTURY* SUMMARY: This paper examines a town in northwest England and a particular set of conditions that inhibited the growth of working-class politics during the twentieth century. The paradox of class politics in Lancaster is that despite a proletarian population, the labour movement locally remained extremely weak. Ironically, it was only upon the deindustrialisation of the town in the later 1960s that labour showed any collective strength. Explanation of quiescence in terms of paternalism and deference is rejected. Rather an account is given in terms of powerlessness. Local structural conditions rendered Lancaster workers so highly dependent that resistance to political domination was precluded. 1. Introduction In capitalist societies, workers, organised at a variety of levels, will, on occasion, present an overt, disruptive challenge to the established social order. Class struggles come and go in such a way that it would be inad- visable to assume that workers are either naturally rebellious or acquies- cent. Rather, the specific structural conditions under which they labour and the concrete political situations in which they find themselves will affect their actions. Concern with the effects of different structural situations has inspired several of the more interesting of recent inquiries into labour mobilisation. An appreciation of increased regional and local variation in contemporary political behaviour has led some to claim that the working class should be analysed as a local rather than a national entity;1 and recently a number of comparative studies have advanced our understanding local political differences in 20th-century Britain.2 * I am grateful to the Economic and Social Research Council for supporting the research under its initiative on the "Changing Urban and Regional System".

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 F 7377 POLITI 58^S8i ABSTRACT The British left has confronted a dilemma in forming its attitude towards Israel in the postwar period. The establishment of the Jewish state seemed to force people on the left to choose between competing nationalisms - Israeli, Arab and later, Palestinian. Over time, a number of key developments sharpened the dilemma. My central focus is the evolution of thinking about Israel and the Middle East in the British Labour Party. I examine four critical periods: the creation of Israel in 1948; the Suez war in 1956; the Arab-Israeli war of 1967 and the 1980s, covering mainly the Israeli invasion of Lebanon but also the intifada. In each case, entrenched attitudes were called into question and longer-term shifts were triggered in the aftermath.

  • ALIENATION and IDENTITY the Plays of Margaret Hollingsworth
    ALIENATION AND IDENTITY The Plays of Margaret Hollingsworth Dorothy Parker A NOTABLE ASPECT OF CANADIAN DRAMA is the strikingly large percentage of ranking dramatists who are women, and in this constellation Margaret Hollingsworth is a very bright star, sharing with many of the other women writers an interest in feminism and the female experience, but adding to this a particular concern for the manifold problems of the immigrant and outsider, and the isolated mind in general. These two themes recur in all of her plays, growing in complexity and profundity from her early work to the most recent; and cor- respondingly, what starts as an essentially realist style — overlaid from the begin- ning, however, with telling incongruities and grotesqueries — becomes increasingly subjective and surreal. "I can compare it to Magic Realism. That's the way I see life. I see it in a very surreal way, but rooted in practical reality."1 In many ways the artistic development of Margaret Hollingsworth corresponds to the creative modes described by André Breton in his Surrealist Manifesto.2 Breton believed in the free association of words and images, holding that unexpected juxtapositions could create new hybrids having the power to reflect, or even to evoke pure psychological states. Form for the surrealist referred less to the technical aspects of a work of art than to an approach to and affirmation of a particular consciousness in which the mind's capacity to synthesize its own reality is central. For Hollingsworth, too, surrealism has meant freedom to design a world of her own imagination. As play has succeeded play, she has transcended the literal and nar- rative limitations of realism by increasingly complex psychological exploration.

Arts Strategy Working Group Document: SEC/2014/2/0999 The Committee approved the Working Group’s status as a sub-committee of Public Arts Strategy Committee, its proposed membership and terms of reference. The Chair set the context of the working group which would consider the validity of public arts in a university setting, links with external arts providers and reflect on the role of the University’s arts provision within a community context towards the development of an Arts Strategy to sit underneath the University Strategy. The Arts Strategy would likely be subject to review on a five year cycle. The Working Group had held a preparatory meeting on 24 September and would meet four to five times before September 2015 and an update on progress would be given at the February meeting of the Committee. It was anticipated that implementation of any changes would take around 18 months. The Committee approved both the establishment of the Working Group as a sub- committee and its terms of reference.
