  • Fabian Society
    SOS POLITICAL SCIENCE & PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION M.A POLITICAL SCIENCE II SEM POLITICAL PHILOSOPHY: MODERN POLITICAL THOUGHT, THEORY & CONTEMPORARY IDEOLOGIES UNIT-III Topic Name-fabian socialism WHAT IS MEANT BY FABIAN SOCIALISM? • The Fabian Society is a British socialistorganisation whose purpose is to advance the principles of democratic socialism via gradualist and reformist effort in democracies, rather than by revolutionary overthrow WHO STARTED THE FABIAN SOCIETY? • Its nine founding members were Frank Podmore, Edward R. Pease, William Clarke, Hubert Bland, Percival Chubb, Frederick Keddell, H. H. Champion, Edith Nesbit, and Rosamund Dale Owen. WHO IS THE PROPOUNDER OF FABIAN SOCIALISM? • In the period between the two World Wars, the "Second Generation" Fabians, including the writers R. H. Tawney, G. D. H. Cole and Harold Laski, continued to be a major influence on socialistthought. But the general idea is that each man should have power according to his knowledge and capacity. WHAT IS THE FABIAN POLICY? • The Fabian strategy is a military strategy where pitched battles and frontal assaults are avoided in favor of wearing down an opponent through a war of attrition and indirection. While avoiding decisive battles, the side employing this strategy harasses its enemy through skirmishes to cause attrition, disrupt supply and affect morale. Employment of this strategy implies that the side adopting this strategy believes time is on its side, but it may also be adopted when no feasible alternative strategy can be devised. HISTORY • This

Many of its contributors oppose the very idea of school 'standards' and have an ideological opposition to external testing. They have been permanent critics of the changes of recent decades. And it is only in that light that the review's conclusions can be understood. Of course, there is no conflict between teaching literacy and numeracy, and the other subjects within the primary curriculum. And the best schools do indeed show how doing them all well provides a good and rounded education. Presenting this as the point of difference is a diversionary Aunt Sally. However, there is a very real conflict between recognising the need to single literacy and numeracy out for extra time over the other subjects as with the dedicated literacy and numeracy lessons, and making them just another aspect of primary schooling that pupils may or may not pick up along the way.

  • 2007 – 90 Years of Economic Action for a Fair Society
    Report of the Co-operative Party 2011/12 to Co-operative Group half yearly members meetings The Co-operative Party continues to be a major political force on behalf of the co-operative movement. This year we have been at the forefront of bringing the UN International Year of Co-operatives to Parliament, as well as to the Scottish Parliament, Welsh Assembly and town halls around the country. We intend to build on this profile in coming years. Building on our successes in recent years, we have achieved a great deal - legislation to improve and safeguard the position of co-operative organisations, establishing the Co-operative Councils Network to take forward the movement’s agenda at a local level, bold policy solutions that put co- operatives at the heart of society, working with our Labour and Co-operative MPs to be an effective voice for co-operation and mutuality in Parliament, and advancing the work of the Co- operative Group on issues such as the position of young people in our society and expanding the role of co-operatives in international development. Over the coming months we will be working hard on those initiatives and developing new ones, working closely with our colleagues in the co-operative movement as an effective advocate for our values in the face of enormous economic change. New General Secretary Michael Stephenson, General Secretary since 2008, moved on during 2012 to a new role in the Co-operative Banking Group. Since September 2012, the new Co-operative Party General Secretary has been Karin Christiansen. Karin has a wealth of experience in international development and is the Party’s first ever female General Secretary.
