Injustice: Why Social Inequalities Persists Bibliography Injustice: Why social inequalities persists Bibliography Some 1,616 references follow, a record of most things read and some written while working on this book. A few are from before the current century but most references given here were published between 2000 and 2009 inclusive. In universities people often ask: “have you read ‘X’?”, expressing a little surprise if you have not. If X is not in the list below and was written in recent years, then I have to admit that, when I was writing the book I probably had not read it. I am a slow reader. I spell out words, and there is far more produced today on even a narrow subject than there was just two decades ago. In 1991, for a doctorate concerning visualising social spatial structure (listed below) I collected and read a similar length list of publications, but at that time it was possible to believe that you had read most that was being written on a specialist subject as so much less was available (and all of it only on paper). This is no longer the case. That is very good news. There are far more people alive today who have written books, papers and reports than those no longer living who ever did so. Most new words ever printed in the world were written by someone who is alive today. Initially the aim of the literature search that resulted in this bibliography was to skim read every relevant academic article available electronically via the University of Sheffield’s library that had been written since the year 2000. After a few years I had managed to read about a tenth of the articles I selected. The tenth is below. You might think that a more systematic search would have been better, starting with key works and looking at who was citing them and what they in turn were citing. However, you miss a lot that is new and novel by working like that. The greatest surprise in reading through this bibliography was in finding just how much academic writing is still so insightful, imaginative and exciting, even hidden in journals with the most boring of titles. A couple of decades of seeing people write to please the whims of those who judge Research Assessment Exercises had made me cynical as to what I would find. How many papers would I skim that have clearly been produced just to satisfy the demands of showing you can spout out volume (for competitive promotion) and write with ideas acceptable to your conservative peers (for acknowledgement and inclusion)? However, given the areas I am looking at and the library I had access to, even though a large proportion of the authors I have read are British, assessment-induced monotony thankfully did not turn out to be the order of the day. Universities remain places where many express their resistance in their writing, if remaining fairly supine when it comes to any other action. Much of what is listed below is not from academic journals or written in universities. Books probably make up the bulk of the words referred to below (if just a small minority of the titles). Newspaper articles provided both the shortest and usually best-written summaries of many subjects; and various web reports and blogs are also included which cover more esoteric ideas, and a smattering of personal communications are recorded to try to give a fair reflection as to how my particular set of ideas have come to be formed − what determined the twine I tied around others’ thoughts. At the very end is a list of journals from which I received papers to review during this period: draft manuscripts being submitted for publication. These cannot fail to also influence what you think, although part of the job of documenting all this reading is to try hard not to steal ideas, even inadvertently, especially those you cannot reference. In the main text that this bibliography accompanies, references are almost only ever made when a fact is suggested or a sentence quoted. Had I tried to say 1 Injustice: Why social inequality persists what item from below had most influenced every sentence written, then the text would have both been unreadable and looked like some boast for the writer’s ability to burn the midnight oil. The safest thing to say is that all I read made a difference. I do not agree with many things that are in the list below, but in one direction or another all the claims they contain have influenced me, and many millions of people other than me who have also read their words. No one has quite the same collection of readings or comes to them with quite the same baggage of pre-existing thoughts. This list is what most changed the shape of the baggage in my head in recent years. I find reading difficult, but the older I get the more worthwhile it is. What is the point of thinking too hard about something if others have done some of the thinking for you? If you have come to believe that human beings are remarkably equal in their abilities, then it makes much more sense to share each other’s ideas than it does to think that only a small elite in a few very particular ivory towers reading from a very few select tomes will ever get to see the light. There remains, however, one key way in which the majority of people in the world who are now literate, and even the minority who have access to the internet, remain locked out of this knowledge even if they are able to find the time, effort and inclination to search. Much of what follows is only available to you electronically if you work or study in a university. The journals are not open access. The books are not available as pdfs as well as in print. Some of the newspapers are even thinking of turning off their digital taps. However, those sources that can be read by anyone will be most read. When it comes to ideas, it is not just the neatest that survive, but those that are most freely available. Danny Dorling, February 2010. 2 Bibliography A Aaronovitch, D.

  • Democracy Unlock
    Unlock Democracy incorporating Charter 88 How healthy is our local democracy? Ros Scott years of Unlocking Democracy This pamphlet is based on a speech given by Ros Scott at Liberal Democrat Party Conference in 2008, at an Unlock Democracy lecture. Our lecture and pamphlet series are intended to provoke debate on and interest in issues relating to democracy and human rights. As an organisation promoting democratic reform and human rights, we may disagree with what our contributors say - but we are always stimulated by and grateful to them. The views of the authors of this work should not be presumed to be the opinion of Unlock Democracy or its staff. First published by Unlock Democracy in 2009.

The condition of roads, the quality of local schools, the availability of leisure facilities like swimming pools and libraries, and whether or not our bins are emptied efficiently should be daily reminders about the state of our local democracy. And yet, it is all too rare to hear debate about the performance of the council, at least in anything other than a general sense, the choices which are available, or about the potential power of the ballot box to change things. Democracy, like charity, begins at home. If citizens feel disconnected from the democratic processes closest to home, then what hope is there for wider engagement? If government in all its forms can’t do anything about the dog dirt and paving slabs, how can anyone have confidence in its ability to deal with a global economic crisis, environmental degradation and threats to our security? After being closely involved with local government for almost 20 years, it is my belief that genuine local democracy in this country is in terminal decline.

  • Constitution of Unlock Democracy
    Unlock Democracy Constitution As amended at the Annual General Meetings held on 21 November 2009, 26 November 2011, 10 November 2012, 9 November 2013, 8 November 2014, 7 November 2015, 12 November 2016, 18 November 2017, 24 November 2018, and 23 November 2019. 1. Purpose Unlock Democracy argues and campaigns for a vibrant, inclusive democracy that puts power in the hands of the people. We seek a democratic participative process resulting in a written constitution that serves and protects the people. That constitution would define the roles of, and relationships between, the Executive, Legislature and Judiciary. It would determine how, and to what extent, power is shared between representatives at local, national and United Kingdom levels, and with international organisations. It would enshrine basic liberties and human rights for all. We campaign: • for fair and open elections; • for transparency in public decision making • to ensure that power is exercised as close to people as is practicable • to empower individuals and their communities to have a greater say over the decisions that affect them • for democratic accountability of all elected representatives, government and public bodies • for universal human rights for all. We promote: • a new culture of informed political interest and responsibility, paving the way for increased enthusiastic public participation • a pluralist democracy that is responsive to the problems and aspirations of all people, valuing and accommodating difference, diversity and universal human rights. Everyone has the right to live their life in dignity under the law, and free from fear. Unlock Democracy is a non-aligned organisation, committed to working inclusively across the political spectrum.

  • Democracy Matters: Lessons from the Citizens' Assembly on English
    Democracy Matters Lessons from the 2015 Citizens’ Assemblies on English Devolution Matthew Flinders | Katie Ghose | Will Jennings | Edward Molloy | Brenton Prosser | Alan Renwick | Graham Smith | Paolo Spada John Penrose MP Minister for Constitutional Reform Cabinet Office Whitehall London SW1 100 Dear John Over the past twelve months the Democracy Matters research team has been conducting a pilot project on the use of citizens’ assemblies to explore complex elements of constitutional policy- making in the United Kingdom. The focus has been on English regional decentralisation, as covered in the Cities and Local Government Devolution Act, and two citizens’ assemblies were convened in the North and South of England. It is with great pleasure that I now submit the final report on this valuable research and engagement project. I hope you and your officials will find its content and recommendations valuable in a number of different ways. Two main conclusions come from the research. First and foremost, there is an appetite amongst the public to engage in informed and constructive discussions about the future of British democracy and about specific policy proposals. The citizens’ assemblies in Southampton and Sheffield have demonstrated that individuals from a range of backgrounds can and are willing to work together to plan a common future and to understand future challenges. Second, the research suggests that the public are generally supportive of the principle of devolution within England. The pinch-point is the nature of the model of devolution on offer from the Government and the lack of public engagement in the decision-making process as it has so far been conducted.

This study answers this question empirically by establishing which think tanks are referenced in different BBC programming in 2009 and 2015, and then classifying them according to their ideological aims (either left, right, centrist or non-partisan). We draw on a sample size of over 30,000 BBC news and current affairs programmes in 2009 and 2015 to measure how often these think tanks were men- tioned or quoted. Overall, BBC news reveals a clear preference for non-partisan or centrist think tanks. However, when the Labour Party was in power in 2009, left and right-leaning think tanks received similar levels of coverage, but in 2015, when the Conservative Party was in government, right-leaning think tanks outnumbered left-leaning think tanks by around two to one.

The risks of a devastating health crisis triggered an early response and coordination among African leaders, who also called for global cooperation to overcome the pandemic. Some countries, like South Africa and Rwanda, implemented tight lockdowns early on, while others like Tanzania downplayed the health risks and argued the economic impacts would be worse, allowing the virus to spread through the population. The Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (Africa CDC) has confirmed over 2 million COVID-19 cases across the continent. Despite available data showing relatively higher numbers in South Africa, Ethiopia, and Kenya, Africa has so far been impacted less directly by COVID-19 than other regions, but the economic consequences are devastating.

  • Annual Report 2011 Democracy Involves the Right of the People Freely to Determine Their Own Destiny
    ANNUAL REPORT 2011 Democracy involves the right of the people freely to determine their own destiny.

With the exception of 1989, no single year has presented as much vindication of NED’s mission or as much promise for our vision. The pro-democracy revolts of the Arab Spring not only broke the region’s au- thoritarian stronghold, but also generated fresh momentum for democratic change that could be felt as far away as China and Cuba. As the year ended, long repressed but newly engaged forces in Russia and Burma were pressing for democratic reform. Just two weeks into 2011, protests sparked by the self-im- veys show, the ferment was primarily caused by socioeco- molation of Tunisian street vendor Muhammad Bouazazi nomic grievances, by the popular demand for opportunity ousted the authoritarian regime of Zine El-Abidine Ben Ali — the chance to get a job, an education, to walk the streets after 23 years of repressive rule.

  • Democracy's Global Quest: a Noble Crusade Wrapped
    DEMOCRACY’S GLOBAL QUEST: A NOBLE CRUSADE WRAPPED IN DIRTY REALITY? […virtually all initiatives--whether they be “development” “good governance” “democracy” or the “rule of law”--or indeed, the earlier initiatives of ‘sovereignty’ and the very foundation of international law, the nation-state--represent a basic movement from West to East. The initiatives involve the transference of a set of institutions and practices which have ostensibly been perfected in the European world and which must now be adopted in the non-European world if it is to make any progress … the liberatory potential of such initiatives must be viewed with skepticism, given that they are inevitably mired in a complex and ongoing set of power relations between the European and none-European worlds. At the very least, these initiatives suggest, often with an insidious and patronizing benevolence, that peoples in the non-European worlds are lacking in their own ideas as to how their societies should be structured, and what values they should prescribe and adopt.]1 I. Introduction The end of the Cold War, which paralyzed the United Nations from its inception, was a cause for celebration and hope. Western leaders congratulated themselves over the end of communism and the fall of the Soviet empire. New challenges arising from the strengthening of international human rights norms and the seemingly unprecedented spirit of international cooperation accompanied the end of bipolar geostrategic and ideological confrontation. Liberal-democratic political values increased immensely in prestige in the wake of the collapse of the Communist Party states of Eastern Europe.2 Authoritarian regimes that for geopolitical reasons were once able to gain automatic endorsement and recognition by either side of the Cold War bipolar divide found themselves unable to do so as easily.
