Labour Research Department Archive Part 2 - Pamphlet collection Compiled by Karen Syrett for the TUC Library Collections, London Metropolitan University, 2010 IDENTITY STATEMENT Held at: London Metropolitan University: Trades Union Congress Library Collections Title: Labour Research Department Pamphlet Collection Date(s): 1887-2002 Extent: c100 boxes Name of creator(s): various CONTEXT Administrative/Biographical history The Labour Research Department had its initial origins in the Fabian Society’s Enquiry into the Control of Industry Committee founded in 1912. In 1913 the Committee took on the form of the Fabian Research Department led by figures including Beatrice and Sidney Webb, George Bernard Shaw and Robin Page Arnot. Originally the department took the form of a forum for competing theories of industrial organisation but then took on the function of providing a service for trade unions by collecting information for them rather than about them and in 1918 its membership was broadened outside of the Fabian Society and became the Labour Research Department. Many influential figures were involved in the Labour Research Department including Barbara Drake, Joseph Rowntree, Leonard Woolf, Archibald Fenner Brockway, Emile Burns, Harry Politt and Noreen Branson. The Labour Research Department carried out investigations into many of the major issues affecting Britain and the wider world, including women, trade unions and strikes, imperialism, the rise of Fascism and the outbreak of war, housing, racism and education. The results of these investigations were often published in their journals, which included Labour Research, Fact Service and Bargaining Report. The Department were one of the chief critics of the Fascist Movement and published a number of publications including Who Backs Mosley? which exposed the Blackshirt Movement and They Helped Hitler which highlighted how the Chamberlain government had supposedly been involved in German rearmament.

    When Fear Is Substituted for Reason: European and Western Government Policies Regarding National Security 1789-1919

    WHEN FEAR IS SUBSTITUTED FOR REASON: EUROPEAN AND WESTERN GOVERNMENT POLICIES REGARDING NATIONAL SECURITY 1789-1919 Norma Lisa Flores A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY December 2012 Committee: Dr. Beth Griech-Polelle, Advisor Dr. Mark Simon Graduate Faculty Representative Dr. Michael Brooks Dr. Geoff Howes Dr. Michael Jakobson © 2012 Norma Lisa Flores All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Dr. Beth Griech-Polelle, Advisor Although the twentieth century is perceived as the era of international wars and revolutions, the basis of these proceedings are actually rooted in the events of the nineteenth century. When anything that challenged the authority of the state – concepts based on enlightenment, immigration, or socialism – were deemed to be a threat to the status quo and immediately eliminated by way of legal restrictions. Once the façade of the Old World was completely severed following the Great War, nations in Europe and throughout the West started to revive various nineteenth century laws in an attempt to suppress the outbreak of radicalism that preceded the 1919 revolutions. What this dissertation offers is an extended understanding of how nineteenth century government policies toward radicalism fostered an environment of increased national security during Germany’s 1919 Spartacist Uprising and the 1919/1920 Palmer Raids in the United States. Using the French Revolution as a starting point, this study allows the reader the opportunity to put events like the 1848 revolutions, the rise of the First and Second Internationals, political fallouts, nineteenth century imperialism, nativism, Social Darwinism, and movements for self-government into a broader historical context.

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.

    Leadership and Change: Prime Ministers in the Post-War World - Alec Douglas-Home Transcript

    Leadership and Change: Prime Ministers in the Post-War World - Alec Douglas-Home Transcript Date: Thursday, 24 May 2007 - 12:00AM PRIME MINISTERS IN THE POST-WAR WORLD: ALEC DOUGLAS-HOME D.R. Thorpe After Andrew Bonar Law's funeral in Westminster Abbey in November 1923, Herbert Asquith observed, 'It is fitting that we should have buried the Unknown Prime Minister by the side of the Unknown Soldier'. Asquith owed Bonar Law no posthumous favours, and intended no ironic compliment, but the remark was a serious under-estimate. In post-war politics Alec Douglas-Home is often seen as the Bonar Law of his times, bracketed with his fellow Scot as an interim figure in the history of Downing Street between longer serving Premiers; in Bonar Law's case, Lloyd George and Stanley Baldwin, in Home's, Harold Macmillan and Harold Wilson. Both Law and Home were certainly 'unexpected' Prime Ministers, but both were also 'under-estimated' and they made lasting beneficial changes to the political system, both on a national and a party level. The unexpectedness of their accessions to the top of the greasy pole, and the brevity of their Premierships (they were the two shortest of the 20th century, Bonar Law's one day short of seven months, Alec Douglas-Home's two days short of a year), are not an accurate indication of their respective significance, even if the precise details of their careers were not always accurately recalled, even by their admirers. The Westminster village is often another world to the general public. Stanley Baldwin was once accosted on a train from Chequers to London, at the height of his fame, by a former school friend.

It replaces Library Research Paper no 94/67 (except for the historical outline). The first Nolan Committee Report recommended external scrutiny of ministerial appointments to executive NDPBs and NHS bodies and the government has subsequently appointed Sir Len Peach as Commissioner for Public Appointments. The second Nolan Committee Report has investigated local public spending bodies and recommended a number of improvements to lessen central control. This paper examines the Nolan recommendations and the Government response. An Appendix looks at the Public Appointments Unit of the Cabinet Office and some statistics on NDPB are given in a final Appendix.
