  • Paradigms of Collective Decision Making – Counsel, Majority and Consensus
    For Manchester Social Movements Conference, 21-23 March 2016 by Andy Blunden The Origins of Collective Decision Making (Synopsis) Abstract: A synopsis is provided of the origin and history of the three main paradigms of collective decision making – Counsel, Majority and Consensus. From a reflection on the conditions under which each arose and the historical evolution of each tradition, the ethical foundations of each mode is brought into relief and an appropriate attitude to collective decision making is suggested which would foster creative collaboration on the Left. The question Ever since participating in the S11 protests against the World Economic Forum in Melbourne in 2000, I have been intrigued by processes of collective decision making and in particular by the antagonism between the two main paradigms used on the Left, viz., Majority and Consensus. Reading the literature arising from the Occupy Wall Street events I became alarmed at the depth of this antagonism and in particular the way the problem was being aggravated by ‘histories’ of Consensus decision making based on hearsay and ill-informed speculation, and the apparent belief that Majority decision making does not have a history at all. Everyone on the Left has some measure of familiarity with both paradigms but the overwhelming majority of activists are firmly committed to one or the other and this problem is emerging as a significant barrier to collaboration on the Left and the success of our shared project. Further, because people – not only young people, but even experienced hands – have no idea of the historical origins of these two paradigms, but simply compare and contrast them pragmatically and on the basis of personal experience, the reasons underlying this antagonism remain shrouded in mystery.

  • For All the People
    Praise for For All the People John Curl has been around the block when it comes to knowing work- ers’ cooperatives. He has been a worker owner. He has argued theory and practice, inside the firms where his labor counts for something more than token control and within the determined, but still small uni- verse where labor rents capital, using it as it sees fit and profitable. So his book, For All the People: The Hidden History of Cooperation, Cooperative Movements, and Communalism in America, reached expectant hands, and an open mind when it arrived in Asheville, NC. Am I disappointed? No, not in the least. Curl blends the three strands of his historical narrative with aplomb, he has, after all, been researching, writing, revising, and editing the text for a spell. Further, I am certain he has been responding to editors and publishers asking this or that. He may have tired, but he did not give up, much inspired, I am certain, by the determination of the women and men he brings to life. Each of his subtitles could have been a book, and has been written about by authors with as many points of ideological view as their titles. Curl sticks pretty close to the narrative line written by worker own- ers, no matter if they came to work every day with a socialist, laborist, anti-Marxist grudge or not. Often in the past, as with today’s worker owners, their firm fails, a dream to manage capital kaput. Yet today, as yesterday, the democratic ideals of hundreds of worker owners support vibrantly profitable businesses.

  • Patterns of Membership and Participation Among British Quakers, 1823 – 2012
    Patterns of Membership and Participation Among British Quakers, 1823 – 2012 JAMES WILLIAM CROAN CHADKIRK A thesis submitted to The University of Birmingham for the degree of MASTER OF PHILOSOPHY School of Theology, Philosophy and Religion Centre for Postgraduate Quaker Studies The University of Birmingham September 2014 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties. The intellectual property rights of the author or third parties in respect of this work are as defined by The Copyright Designs and Patents Act 1988 or as modified by any successor legislation. Any use made of information contained in this thesis/dissertation must be in accordance with that legislation and must be properly acknowledged. Further distribution or reproduction in any format is prohibited without the permission of the copyright holder. Abstract During the 1850s there was rising concern in the Society of Friends about declining membership. From the 1840s attempts were made to obtain hard statistics on adherence and in the late 20th century another decline again reduced numbers to the level of the 1850s and 1860s. This thesis reviews and analyses data from the middle of the 19th century to 2012, illuminating variation in both membership and participation in church worship and governance. It presents new data on participation in meeting for worship and provides geographical and socio- metric data on the origins of enquiries about Quakerism, providing both a research tool for further work by bringing large volumes of information together and illuminating the ways in which the size and the social structure of the Society of Friends has varied with time.

    HUGH MACRAE AND THE IDEA OF FARM CITY RACE, CLASS, AND CONSERVATION IN THE NEW SOUTH, 1905-1935 A thesis presented to the faculty of the Graduate School of Western Carolina University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in History. By Thomas Luke Manget Director: Dr. Richard Starnes Sossomon Associate Professor of History History Department Committee Members: Dr. Gael Graham, History Dr. Elizabeth McRae, History June 2012 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to sincerely thank my committee members for their thoughtful feedback and encouragement. Specifically, I would like to thank my director Dr. Richard Starnes, whose consultation and advice were invaluable throughout the entire process of researching and writing. I would also like to thank the entire staff at Hunter Library, especially the Interlibrary Loan Department. Without their diligence in tracking down obscure sources, this thesis would have been impossible to write. Most importantly, I am forever and deeply indebted to my wife, Natalie, for supporting my education and picking up the slack for me in managing our household while I worked on this thesis. In addition, I want to thank my parents, Tom and Debbie Manget, whose sacrifice and commitment, as well as their financial support, made my life and my education possible; my grandmother Orbenia Greer Stewart Burges, who has always been my most devoted supporter; my aunt Carolyn Carlson, whose editing prowess and willingness to take on some of my most rough of drafts during my undergraduate studies has helped me become a better writer; and all the other family and friends who have provided moral support.
