The green gap framework
Despite the well-documented benefits of engaging with nature, up to a quarter of the UK population rarely utilises their urban greenspaces. This is despite evidence that those who engage the least with greenspace could derive the most significant health benefits from such interactions. Addressing this gap is a focus of the GroundsWell consortium, a large research programme that aims to transform access to urban green and blue spaces to improve he…
Early outdoor play predicts trajectories of child mental health in a population‐based cohort
BACKGROUND: Outdoor play may offer developmental opportunities that support good mental health. Cross-sectional data indicate that more outdoor play is associated with better mental health, particularly internalising problems (e.g. anxiety and depression), but longitudinal research is lacking. We used a longitudinal cohort dataset to evaluate whether outdoor play at 2-4 years predicted children's mental health trajectories into middle childhood. …
I don't take what's in[side] outside, I see it as a different environment”
We explored factors influencing routinisation of outdoor play and learning (OPL) in Scottish early childhood education (ECE) settings. • W used Normalisation Process Theory to guide semi-structured interviews with 15 educators across five Glasgow-based ECE settings. • Identified four systemic enablers: policy endorsement, leadership support, resources, and practitioner capacity. • Our findings are framed through a systems-lens to inform multi-lev…
Risky outdoor play in the early years
Against a backdrop of generational declines in outdoor play and recent work demonstrating geo-cultural differences in adult perceptions of risk in outdoor play, this paper explores the relationships between gatekeeper (parent/practitioner) perceptions of dangers and benefits in outdoor risky play scenarios and young children's (aged 2-5 years old) experiences of outdoor play in Scotland, and whether these are moderated by being a parent or practi…

The Trilateral Relationship
The literature on World War II is vast, yet historians continue to find new ways to examine the conflict. Much has been written on Ireland’s wartime neutrality, but in Friends and Enemies, Karen Garner examines the trilateral relationship between the United States, the United Kingdom, and Ireland during the war. In particular, the book examines the impact of Irish neutrality on Ireland’s complicated relationship with an increasingly interconnecte…
The fragmentation of the security-development nexus
The security-development nexus -the belief that security and development policy goals are closely connected and should be aligned -became a core feature of global peacebuilding policy in the 1990s.Over the last decade, however, the continued relevance of the nexus has been questioned.Drawing on analysis of key policy documents, ministerial speeches, aid flows, and key informant interviews, this article examines how the nexus has been articulated …
A qualitative study of parental strategies to enable pre-school children's outdoor and nature experiences during Covid-19 restrictions
Outdoor and nature experiences including play have been shown to be beneficial for children's physical, cognitive, social and emotional development. Parents/carers play an important role in encouraging or impeding their child's access to the outdoor environment and participation in outdoor play. The COVID-19 pandemic and associated restrictions on free movement and social interactions placed an unprecedented pressure on families to manage the dra…
Outdoor nature-based play in early learning and childcare centres
Nature-based play benefits children's health and development. However, the delivery of this in early learning and childcare centres (ELC) is extremely diverse, and implementation is not well understood. We applied a systems science perspective to understand the factors crucial to implementing nature-based outdoor play in ELC settings. Through Group Model Building workshops with 20 participants in managerial and practitioner roles, crucial factors…
Implementing conflict prevention
Conflict prevention has been a long-standing and high-profile international policy goal, and yet in practice international agencies have found it difficult to operationalise, with the structural dimension of conflict prevention proving especially challenging. Drawing on a review of policy documents, parliamentary debates, and key informant interviews, this article uses a detailed case study of the UK government’s structural conflict prevention po…
America and the Postwar World
The idea of a liberal international order has come under considerable scrutiny in recent years. Is it in decline, has it gone for good, or did it ever really exist at all? In his new book, David Mayers highlights the post–World War II origins of that international order and emphasizes aspects that may be worth saving. Deliberately avoiding a Cold War narrative, Mayers focuses instead on U.S. attempts to create a new rules-based international orde…
The Perils of Perfectionism
In the debate that followed the release of the Dumbarton Oaks proposals in 1944, the US government vigorously promoted the idea of international organization, partly due to fears of a resurgent isolationism. Yet as the debate progressed, it became clear that isolationism was not the main enemy, and concerns that the USA would not engage at all with the UN proved unfounded. Instead, the most active critics of the Dumbarton Oaks proposals were not …

Shaping our Post-war Foreign Policy
The Carnegie Endowment for International Peace (CEIP) describes itself as “the oldest international affairs think tank in the United States”. In the past century, the CEIP has been a key part of the American eastern establishment elite, yet surprisingly little academic study has been undertaken on the organisation. This article examines the role of the CEIP in the promotion of the United Nations Organisation during World War II. One reason the CE…

Creating a “Democratic Foreign Policy”
In 1944, the State Department created the Division of Public Liaison (DPL) with the ambitious aim of making the Department “an instrument of the American People.” The DPL represented a formal structure for creating relationships with representative groups of the American public. An analysis of the DPL offers valuable insights into how the State Department worked with and perceived American public opinion with respect to the development of foreign…
