D290 Roy Macleod Collection University of Wollongong Archives (WUA) D Collections D290 Roy MacLeod Collection Creator: Professor Roy MacLeod Historical Note: Roy MacLeod is Professor Emeritus of History, and an Honorary Associate in the History and Philosophy of Science and the Centre for International Security Studies at the University of Sydney. He was educated in History, the Biochemical Sciences, and the History of Science at Harvard University, in sociology at the London School of Economics, and in History and the History of Science at Cambridge, where he received his PhD in 1967. In recognition of his work, he has since been awarded a Doctorate of Letters from Cambridge (2001), and an honorary doctorate from the University of Bologna (2005), and has received prizes and honours from several institutions in Germany, Sweden, Belgium, and Britain. In 1971, he co-founded the quarterly journal Social Studies of Science, and was its co-editor until 1991. Between 2000 and 2008, he served as Editor in Chief of Minerva, and currently serves on the editorial boards of several other journals. He is the author or editor of twenty-five books and some 150 articles in the social history of science, medicine and technology, military history, Australian, American and European history, university history, research policy, and policy for higher education. The Nuclear Archives at Wollongong reflects the nature and content of research and graduate course work begun and led by Professor MacLeod for over three decades. The archives date from 1945, and hold much material relating to the Australian Atomic Energy Commission (AAEC), and its successor, the Australian National Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation (ANSTO), as well as the history of uranium mining, weapons testing, environmental reportage, and nuclear diplomacy, both in Australia and around the world. In addition, there are materials relating to debates in Australia on the prospects for civil nuclear power and potential sites for containing nuclear waste. Professor MacLeod has placed his collection at UoW in consultation with the Science and Technology Studies program in Wollongong’s Faculty of Law, Humanities and the Arts, in the hope of seeing these rich materials contribute to wider academic inquiry and discussion.

  • Averting a Nonproliferation Disaster
    Decision Time on the Indian Nuclear Deal: Help Avert a Nonproliferation Disaster August 15, 2008 Federal Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier Federal Foreign Office Auswartiges Amt 11013 Berlin Germany Dear Minister Dr. Frank-Walter Steinmeier: Your government and other members of the Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG) are being asked to consider the Bush administration’s proposal to exempt India from longstanding NSG guidelines that require comprehensive IAEA safeguards as a condition of supply. As many of us wrote in a January 2008 letter (“Fix the Proposal for Nuclear Cooperation with India” http://legacy.armscontrol.org/pressroom/2008/NSGappeal.asp, India's commitments under the current terms of the proposed arrangement do not justify making far-reaching exceptions to international nonproliferation rules and norms. Contrary to the claims of its advocates, the deal fails to bring India further into conformity with the nonproliferation behavior expected of the member states of the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT). Unlike 178 other countries, India has not signed the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty (CTBT). It continues to produce fissile material and expand its nuclear arsenal. As one of only three states never to have signed the NPT, it has not made a legally-binding commitment to achieve nuclear disarmament, and it refuses to allow comprehensive, full-scope International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) safeguards. Yet the arrangement would give India rights and privileges of civil nuclear trade that have been reserved only for members in good standing under the NPT. It creates a dangerous distinction between "good" proliferators and "bad" proliferators and sends out misleading signals to the international community with regard to NPT norms.

  • The Australian Nuclear Disarmament Movement LH Proceedings
    Jonathan Strauss, “The Australian Nuclear Disarmament Movement in the 1980s”, Proceedings of the 14th Biennial Labour History Conference, eds, Phillip Deery and Julie Kimber (Melbourne: Australian Society for the Study of Labour History, 2015), 39-50. ISBN: 978-0-9803883-3-6. The Australian Nuclear Disarmament Movement in the 1980s Jonathan Strauss* In the 1980s, a large, diverse and vibrant nuclear disarmament movement arose in Australia. This paper uses findings from archival research and interviews conducted by the author over several years to show that strategy in the movement was contended and the movement’s debates and internal development had a substantial impact on its rise and decline. The views of movement activists about how to campaign for its demands, such as an end to uranium mining and, especially, for the closure of nuclear war-fighting bases in the country, differed greatly. The appearance of the Nuclear Disarmament Party highlighted divergent views that had arisen in the movement about how to relate to the Australian Labor Party. A potential for alternative political and social leadership underlay the insurgent movement’s arguments. For the last four or so decades, the numbers of people that social movements in Australia have been able to mobilise in protest actions has tended to grow, although the movements have become less sustained and have not provided the same context for political radicalisation. In anti- war campaigns, this can be found in the journey from the Vietnam Moratoriums to the February 2003 marches against the second Gulf War. In between, in the 1980s, the Australian nuclear disarmament movement has been part of this.

  • US-India Ageement (PDF)
    AUSTRALIA SHOULD BLOCK US-INDIA NUCLEAR DEAL Joint Statement from Australian civil society groups to the Australian Government Before the end of the year the Australian Government will have the opportunity to oppose the US- India nuclear deal at both the IAEA Board of Governors meeting and block the deal at the 45-nation Nuclear Suppliers Group. We urge the Government to oppose the deal for the following reasons: 1. Supporting the US-India deal is inconsistent with the Rudd Labor Government's principled policy of prohibiting uranium exports to India and other countries which have not signed the Nuclear Non- Proliferation Treaty (NPT). 2. Nuclear trade with India undermines the fundamental principle of the global non-proliferation regime – the principle that NPT signatories can engage in international nuclear trade for their civil nuclear programs while countries which remain outside the NPT are excluded from civil nuclear trade. The precedent set by nuclear trade with India would increase the risk of other countries pulling out of the NPT, building nuclear weapons, and doing so with the expectation that civil nuclear trade would continue given the Indian precedent. 3. The US-India deal would allow nuclear trade with India with no requirement for India to dismantle its nuclear arsenal or to join the NPT. This would legitimise India's nuclear weapons program and make it less likely that it will disarm. The US-India deal contains no commitment from India to curb its weapons program, no commitment to refrain from testing nuclear weapons, and no commitment to sign and ratify the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty.

  • New Parties in the Long Decade of ALP Government
    New parties in the long decade of ALP government Jonathan Strauss Working class party identification and support changed in the ‘long decade’ (1983-1996) of ALP government. Intense identification with the ALP declined and within the class several attempts were made to form new parties. The pluralist understanding about the relationship of party and class - a party appeals to a class and, if successful, provides that class’ identity - is inadequate for understanding this development. An alternative argument is that a critical mass of especially interested and socially connected people is the basis of collective action not only for social movements but for a party based in the mass of a class. This paper will consider whether or not working class party formation and activity during the long decade provides evidence supporting this argument. The Australian Labor Party won parliamentary majorities and formed the federal government from 1983 until 1996. The electoral basis for that ‘long Labor decade’ (Beilharz 1994, ix) was support from the bulk of the working class. During this decade, however, the character of identification with the ALP within the working class changed. In relation to that change, several attempts to form new parties were supported in the working class. This paper will explore the formation and activity of new parties in the working class during the decade. It will consider whether or not this provides evidence for an argument that a critical mass of especially interested and socially connected people is the basis of collective action not only for social movements but for a party based in the mass of the class.

Resistance Books 1999 ISBN 0909196893 Published by Resistance Books, resistancebooks.com Introduction The election of John Howard as Australian prime minister in 1996 ushered in an new wave of enthusiasm for radioactive adventure. Nuclear testing was the fad of the 1950s. The 1960s saw plans for nuclear explosions to create new harbors along the coastline. In the 1970s state premiers vied to attract uranium enrichment plants. In the early 1980s the plans were to surround the cities with nuclear power plants. Today as we approach the new millennium, the call has gone out for Australia to become the world’s dumping ground for radioactive waste.

  • Lished by the General Assembly in 1972 to Be an Internati
    The United Nations University is an organ of the United Nations estab- lished by the General Assembly in 1972 to be an international community of scholars engaged in research, advanced training, and the dissemination of knowledge related to the pressing global problems of human survi- val, development, and welfare. Its activities focus mainly on the areas of peace and governance, environment and sustainable development, and science and technology in relation to human welfare. The University oper- ates through a worldwide network of research and postgraduate training centres, with its planning and coordinating headquarters in Tokyo. The United Nations University Press, the publishing division of the UNU, publishes scholarly and policy-oriented books and periodicals in areas related to the University’s research. Enhancing global governance Foundations of Peace Note to the reader The United Nations University Press series on the Foundations of Peace ad- dresses themes that relate to the evolving agenda of peace and security within and between communities. Traditional or conventional conceptions of security, primarily military and interstate, have been supplemented, or perhaps even sur- passed, by a definition of security which rests upon much broader tenets, includ- ing human rights, cultural and communal rights, environmental and resource se- curity, and economic security. To resolve the dialectic between state security and human security it is necessary to envision a wide agenda of international peace and security that embraces these tenets and the potential tensions that exist be- tween them and the interstate context. International actors, such as the United Nations and non-governmental organizations, are also increasingly playing a cen- tral role in building the foundations of sustainable peace.

  • Activism and Symbolic Capital in Western Australia: an Ethnographic Study of the Anti‐Nuclear Movement
    Activism and symbolic capital in Western Australia: an ethnographic study of the anti‐nuclear movement by Katharina Wolf BA Hons (1st class), Grad Cert Tertiary Ed., MA PR This thesis is presented for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Murdoch University 2013 I, Katharina Wolf, declare that this thesis, submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for award of Doctor of Philosophy, Murdoch University, is wholly my own work unless otherwise referenced or acknowledged. The document has not been submitted for qualifications at any other academic institution. Katharina Wolf 2 Abstract This study sets out to address the current gap in PR activism literature, by providing insight into one of the currently most visible activist communities in Western Australia. It investigates the social role and communication activities of activists in the context of the Western Australian anti-nuclear debate. During the period of research, February 2009 to June 2011, Western Australia (WA) was a major global supplier of natural resources, whose profits underpinned the strong economic performance of Australia during and after the 2007 global financial crisis. With worldwide demand for uranium ore (a core component required for the production of nuclear energy) increasing during this period, the state of Western Australia reversed a long held ban on uranium mining and thus found itself propelled to the forefront of the global anti-nuclear debate. This, in turn, led to the reinvigoration of the Western Australian anti-nuclear movement (ANM), which already had a more than thirty year history of protest and opposition to any use of nuclear technology. The study took place within this context, setting out to understand how WA ANM activists communicate and how they challenge the industry and economic focused discourse in WA society.

  • The Evolution of Minor Parties Elected to the Australian Senate
    Small Parties, Big Changes: The Zareh Ghazarian Evolution of Minor Parties Elected to the Australian Senate∗ Minor parties, sometimes referred to as small parties, have been the subject of much interest, especially in European political systems where they have often been crucial in forming coalition governments. In recent years, however, there has been growing interest in minor parties in Australia. This was not always the case as it was the major parties which were the centre of political attention. This is understandable given Australia follows the Westminster system where the government is formed by the party (or parties) that wins a majority of seats in the lower house. The Australian parliamentary system, however, has a powerful Senate.1 Indeed, the Senate has almost all the powers of the House of Representatives. Furthermore, a bill must be passed by both houses in order to become law. Aside from its structural importance, the Senate is the chamber in which minor parties have won parliamentary representation, sometimes wielding the balance of power and exerting significant influence over the policies of governments. The following discussion will explore the rise of minor parties in Australia, with particular emphasis on the parties that won seats in the Senate in the post-war period. It will highlight the significant changes to the type of minor party winning Senate representation over the last seven decades, especially in terms of their sources of mobilisation and the role they seek to play in the political debate. I aim to show how newer minor parties are qualitatively different to older minor parties.
