01.01.13 Green Liberalism The Green liberalism project is part of a wider Green Alliance programme which looks at the relationship between the values and priorities of the UK’s three main political traditions – conservatism, liberalism and social democracy – and their support for the development of a greener economy. Green Alliance is non-partisan and supports a politically pluralist approach to greening the economy and restoring natural systems. Many political scientists consider the environment to be an issue similar to health and education where voters judge the likely competence of a party if it were in power, and where most voters want similar outcomes. In such issues parties tend to avoid taking sharply contrasting ‘pro’ or ‘anti’ positions.1 Nevertheless the way environmental outcomes are achieved, and even understood, will differ depending on how individual parties view the confluence of their values with environmental solutions. There is also a risk that as environmental policy beings to impinge on significant economic decisions, such as the transformation of transport and energy infrastructure, there will be less common ground between parties. The two-year Green Roots programme will work with advisory groups made up of independent experts and supporters of each political tradition, including parliamentarians, policy experts and academics, to explore how the UK’s main political traditions can address environmental risks and develop distinct responses which align with their values. Liberalism is founded on a supreme belief in the importance of the individual.2 This belief naturally extends to a commitment to individual freedom, supported by the argument that “human beings are rational, thinking creatures… capable of defining and pursuing their own best interests.”3 However, “liberals do not believe that a balanced and tolerant society will develop naturally out of the free actions of individuals... [as] the liberty of one person is always therefore in danger of becoming a license to abuse another.”4 This balance extends into liberal economic thinking, which promotes open markets that operate according to free individuals, but accepts the need to avoid or correct abuse of market power and deliver public policy objectives that the market cannot. But, just as liberals believe the state is an effective way of correcting market failure, so too must there be the means to constrain state failure, through decentralisation. 1 Neil Carter, 2006, Party politicisation of the environment in Britain, Party Politics, Vol 12, Issue 747 2 Andrew Heywood 1998, Political ideologies: an introduction 3 Andrew Heywood 1998, Political ideologies: an introduction 4 Andrew Heywood 1998, Political ideologies: an introduction Ensuring this balance, between protecting individual liberty and safeguarding that liberty from the tyranny of others is the core tension of the liberal tradition. Liberalism has influenced all three of the UK’s political parties, but is best understood through the thinking and attitudes of the Liberal Democrats. The environment is a clear example of a context where the unlimited freedom of a few would hinder the liberty of many more. The Dictionary of Liberal Thought states: “Pollution and resource depletion are clearly major impediments to the liberal aims of freedom.”5 Charles Kennedy stated that an environmental context allows liberal ideals to flourish: “We say that a clean environment relates to health. To poverty. To transport. To education. To civil liberties… good environmental policies are about more choice, not less.” For liberals, the environment is essentially an extrinsic value, similar to economic prosperity, which allows an intrinsic value, such as freedom or equality of opportunity, to flourish. In 1979, the Liberal assembly agreed a resolution that “economic growth, as measured by GDP, is neither desirable nor achievable”, chiefly because GDP-measured growth takes no account of the value of the environment to the individual. The spirit of this resolution flourishes today, with a focus on what Nick Clegg calls GDP+. Liberals believe that economic growth is only one way of measuring what it is government’s job to deliver – freedom. The environment does not rely on the economy, or vice versa, but both interconnected processes are crucial to the liberal ambition of ensuring personal freedom. The key question is how to balance and merge the needs of the two to ensure that both flourish, alongside individuals' freedom and quality of life. The desire to prioritise the environment runs throughout liberal political history. In the UK in the 1920s, the Liberals “Yellow Book” argued the importance of the natural environment as part of an industrial strategy. The 1970s saw the Liberals become the first main party to publish a major policy paper devoted to the environment. Since the 1980s the British Liberal Party has twice found itself working with those from other political traditions at a national level. One instance, with the SDP, the goal was a permanent merger, the other, with the Conservatives, it was to enact a one-term coalition. On both occasions, the environment has provided a useful means for liberal partners to distinguish their priorities from their allies'. In 2012, for instance, Nick Clegg joked that you can’t vote blue and get green unless you add yellow, emphasising environmental protection as a core Liberal tenet. Similarly, during the Liberals’ alliance with the SDP in the 1980s, they fought to retain focus on the environment. As Burall argues, Liberals at the time “feared that the SDP would overwhelm their prized… environmental policy gains.”6 But their joint 1983 manifesto stated: “There can be no healthy economy without a healthy environment” - the SDP had never previously made such a claim. In 1987, in the last joint SDP/Liberal manifesto before the two parties merged, an entire section was 5 Duncan Brack, 2007, Dictionary of Liberal thought 6 Paul Burall, 2007, The environment: a winner for the Liberal Democrats?, Political Quarterly, Vol 78, Issue 1 devoted to ‘green growth’, and a pledge was made to ensure that “every aspect of policy would be examined for its effect on our environment.” A liberal position can become more complicated when positive environmental outcomes require the restraint of individual freedom. While not afraid of using the state as a corrective power, a liberal answer to correcting a broken environmental balance usually prefers choice, not force. Though a liberal approach accepts that sometimes choice is not an option, such as with calling for the banning of CFCs, it means a preference where possible towards nudges and indicators, such as consumption taxes and subsidies, as opposed to outright bans. However, as David Howarth has asked in a forthcoming publication, “whether these distinctions really work in the way liberals have thought. Tax and permit trading schemes themselves ultimately depend on criminal law penalties against tax evasion and against carrying on an activity without a permit… Choice is technically still present, but the pressure of regulation… might be so great that a line has been crossed into oppression.” Howarth also highlights the idea that liberals should not be afraid of forcefulness if it is to enforce a wider freedom: “Political liberals never accepted unlimited freedom of enterprise, always understanding that intervention in the market was justified in order to prevent harm to others – for example, by forbidding slavery.”7 Conrad Russell articulated the nature of environmental responsibility in this way; that individuals do not hold personal power, but are trustees for a greater number of individuals, and that “sustainability is the trustee’s essential duty.” But Howarth still sees the balance between "the liberal adherence to individual freedom, of non-interference in people’s choices and lifestyles, and their desire to limit the environmental consequences of those choices" as a delicate one, and one which "seems likely to become increasingly difficult to strike” given the increasingly urgent nature of the environmental challenge. 7 David Howarth, 2012, Green Liberalism .

  • The Political History of Nineteenth Century Portugal1
    The Political History of Nineteenth Century Portugal1 Paulo Jorge Fernandes Autónoma University of Lisbon [email protected] Filipe Ribeiro de Meneses National University of Ireland [email protected] Manuel Baiôa CIDEHUS-University of Évora [email protected] Abstract The political history of nineteenth-century Portugal was, for a long time, a neglected subject. Under Salazar's New State it was passed over in favour of earlier periods from which that nationalist regime sought to draw inspiration; subsequent historians preferred to concentrate on social and economic developments to the detriment of the difficult evolution of Portuguese liberalism. This picture is changing, thanks to an awakening of interest in both contemporary topics and political history (although there is no consensus when it comes to defining political history). The aim of this article is to summarise these recent developments in Portuguese historiography for the benefit of an English-language audience. Keywords Nineteenth Century, History, Bibliography, Constitutionalism, Historiography, Liberalism, Political History, Portugal Politics has finally begun to carve out a privileged space at the heart of Portuguese historiography. This ‘invasion’ is a recent phenomenon and can be explained by the gradual acceptance, over the course of two decades, of political history as a genuine specialisation in Portuguese academic circles. This process of scientific and pedagogical renewal has seen a clear focus also on the nineteenth century. Young researchers concentrate their efforts in this field, and publishers are more interested in this kind of works than before. In Portugal, the interest in the 19th century is a reaction against decades of ignorance. Until April 1974, ideological reasons dictated the absence of contemporary history from the secondary school classroom, and even from the university curriculum.

The mainstream debates involve various mixes of liberalism (which views relatively high levels of government intervention in the economy as neces- sary and desirable) and neoliberalism (which advocates less regulation, lower levels of government spending, and reliance on markets to solve social and environmental problems).

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 Abstract Studies of political communication in the UK have focused primarily on election campaigns and reportage of parliamentary and public policy issues. In these contexts, two or more parties compete for coverage in the news media. However, the main British party conferences present a different context, where one party’s activities form the (almost exclusive) focus of the news media's attention for a week, and that party’s leadership ‘negotiates* coverage in a direct one-to-one relationship. Conference weeks are the key points in the organizational year for each party (irrespective of their internal arrangements), and a critical period for communicating information about the party to voters at large, especially via television news coverage, which forms the focus of this study.

  • Can Capitalism Save the Planet? on the Origins of Green Liberalism
    INTERVENTIONS Can Capitalism Save the Planet? On the Origins of Green Liberalism Ted Steinberg in a 1992 speech commemorating Earth Day, Bill Clinton urged Americans to reject "the false choice" that environmental responsibility had to come at the expense of the economy. In the world according to Clinton, it was possible "to bring powerful market forces to bear on America's pollution problems." The speech is vin- tage Clinton, shot through with his signature triangulation. "I believe it is time for a new era in environmental protection," he said, "which uses the market to help us get our environment back on track—to recognize that Adam Smith's invisible hand can have a green thumb."i Clinton's market-based approach to environmental reform has proven enor- mously popular in this brave new world of carbon offsets and emissions trading. Even Bill McKibben, one ofthe most prominent environmentalists in the world today, seems imprisoned within it. Rejecting the maximizing imperatives at the core of capitalism, McKibben in Deep Economy: The Wealth of Communities and the Durable Future made a case for moving beyond "hyper-individualism" and embrac- ing local economies centered on farmers' markets and other ways of bringing neigh- bors together. But he did not suggest any fundamental structural change. "Shifting our focus to local economies," he writes, "will not mean abandoning Adam Smith or doing away with markets. Markets, obviously, work." Buying a local tomato, he was at pains to point out, "doesn't require that you join a commune or become a socialist." In a more recent essay titled "The Greenback Effect: Creed Has Helped Destroy the Planet—Maybe Now It Can Help Save It," McKibben takes his market Radical History Revieiü Issue 107 (Spring 2010) DOi 10.1215/01636545-2009-032 © 2010 by MARHO: The Radical Historians' Organization, Inc.

  • Thesis Ecological Libertarianism
    THESIS ECOLOGICAL LIBERTARIANISM: THE CASE FOR NONHUMAN SELF-OWNERSHIP Submitted by Zachary Nelson Department of Political Science In partial fulfillment of the requirements For the Degree of Master of Arts Colorado State University Fort Collins, Colorado Spring 2016 Master’s Committee: Advisor: David McIvor Sandra Davis Lynn Hempel Copyright by Zachary Tyler Nelson 2016 All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT ECOLOGICAL LIBERTARIANISM: THE CASE FOR NONHUMAN SELF-OWNERSHIP The field of environmental political theory has made great gains in its relatively short existence as an academic discipline. One area in which these advancements can be noticed is the strong discussion surrounding the foundations, institutions, and processes of Western liberalism and the relationship of these elements to issues of environmentalism. Within this discussion has manifested the bedrock assumption that the underlying components of classical liberalism – namely individualism, negative liberties, and instrumental rationality – preclude or greatly hinder progress toward securing collective environmental needs. This assumption has great intuitive strength as well as exhibition in liberal democracies such as the United States. However, in using this assumption as a launchpad for reconsidering elements of liberalism, scholars have inadvertently closed alternate routes of analysis and theorization. This thesis aims to explore one such alternate route. Libertarianism, the contemporary reincarnation of classical liberalism, has been generally disregarded in policy and academic realms due to its stringent and inflexible adherence to self- interest, instrumental rationality, and individualism; in discussions of environment, these complaints are only augmented. These criticisms have been validated by a libertarian scholarship that emphasized nature as a warehouse of resources specifically suited for human use.

WIGHT has been approved for the Department of History and the College of Arts and Sciences by Kevin Mattson Connor Study Professor of Contemporary History Robert Frank Dean, College of Arts and Sciences 3 ABSTRACT WIGHT, PHILIP A., M.A. August 2013, History From Citizens to Consumers: The Countercultural Roots of Green Consumerism Director of thesis: Kevin Mattson When did American environmentalism shift from a focus on collective political action to an obsession with personal lifestyles? This thesis investigates three distinct bodies of environmental thought spanning the 1950s and the mid-1970s to answer this question. The three eco-political philosophies studied here are liberal, eco-socialist, and countercultural environmentalism. The heart of this thesis is the debate among key environmental thinkers—John Kenneth Galbraith, Stewart Brand, and Barry Commoner—concerning the role of individual consumers and the importance of public policy. This debate can be viewed as supply-side (producers) versus demand-side (consumers) environmentalism. This thesis argues America’s modern paradigm of libertarian, demand-side environmentalism and green consumerism stems from specific values, ideas, lifestyles, and worldviews representative of American counterculture of the 1960s and 1970s. In championing individual consumer choice, contemporary environmentalism has largely rejected liberal and eco-socialist prescriptions of collective political action and social democratic governance.

  • SECURITY with FREEDOM the Challenge for Liberals
    SECURITY WITH FREEDOM The Challenge for Liberals The current obsession of the Western World is the search for security – whether it is security from international terrorism, from muggers on our streets, from kids hanging around outside the local shop and of course from the marauding hordes of paedophiles. We feel that we have lost control of our lives in a world dominated by the mysterious and unaccountable forces of globalisation and the seemingly ever more rapid and incomprehensible pace of technological change – all of it reported to us coated in political spin and trivialised and sensationalised by media frenzy. In a world seemingly gone mad we yearn for old values of community and unchanging certainties. We long for that rose covered cottage where we know and like everyone in the village and our door remains safely unlocked at all times. To achieve that we are happy – at each and every level – to “give up a little freedom” in order to gain some sort of assurance of “security”. Indeed there are those who would seek security at any price. Of course this all started long before 11th September 2001 but the events of that day have now become the ultimate excuse on a grand scale for the search for security at whatever cost to freedom. Of course people are entitled to yearn for security but – argues Mike Oborski – in giving up freedom we are not achieving security we are instead merely giving up freedom while failing to achieve security. To achieve security we need greater freedom because it is only with greater and truly informed freedom that we can change society and the world to preserve and extend both freedom and security.
