The Moat Pit Re-Visited
This article is both an update to an earlier article ( Adamson 2008 ) insofar as it considered the Moat Pit coal mine but it is also a study for the first time of the wider coal mining enterprise of the Bruce family in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries at Culross, Fife. The article demonstrates that the previous understanding of where the landward shaft of the Moat Pit was located was incorrect. It moves that entrance westwards to a newly i…
The Empire Has No Clothes? The UK, the Indo-Pacific ‘Tilt’, and Bargaining Towards a Southeast Asian Role
This paper provides a critical analysis of the UK’s stated goals for the Indo-Pacific “tilt” (Integrated Review 2021, Integrated Review Refresh 2023), its activities so far, and the expectations of regional states in Southeast Asia. It draws upon role theory to argue that while there are growing connections between the UK’s role conception and Southeast Asia’s role expectations in relation to the Indo-Pacific emerging, there remain significant di…
Centenary conversations
Helen Clark is interviewed by Robert Yates for the first in a new series of ‘Centenary conversations’, celebrating 100 years of International Affairs. They discussed the COVID-19 crisis and reflect on whether the world is doing a better job than it did 100 years ago during the Spanish flu epidemic
Fragmented health systems in Covid-19
Strategies for financing social health insurance schemes for providing universal health care
The ability for Social Health Insurance programs to cover all groups has been limited in the selected countries. Hence, relying solely on social health insurance schemes to achieve Universal Health Coverage may not be plausible in Africa. Also, highly fragmented risk pools impede efforts to widen the insurance pools and promote cross-subsidies
The English School and postcolonial state agency
This paper contributes to recent revisions to the English School (ES) which have sought to redress its Eurocentrism. It argues that, despite providing necessary accounts of non-Western international societies and the agency of non-European polities in the expansion of global international society, there remains a gap in capturing the agency of postcolonial states in contributing to order negotiation and management in contemporary international or…
Minding the gaps
In a webinar in 2015 on health financing and gender, the question was raised why we need to focus on gender, given that a well-functioning system moving towards Universal Health Coverage (UHC) will automatically be equitable and gender balanced. This article provides a reflection on this question from a panel of health financing and gender experts.We trace the evidence of how health-financing reforms have impacted gender and health access through…
Asean as the ‘regional conductor’
This paper analyses ASEAN's prominence in regional order negotiation and management in Southeast Asia and the Asia-pacific through the lens of social role negotiation. It argues that ASEAN has negotiated legitimate social roles as the ‘primary manager’ in Southeast Asia and the ‘regional conductor’ of the Asia-Pacific order. It develops an English School-inspired role negotiation framework and applies it to three periods: 1954–1975 when ASEAN's ‘…
Global health security
The Ebola virus disease outbreak in West Africa was unprecedented in both its scale and impact. Out of this human calamity has come renewed attention to global health security--its definition, meaning, and the practical implications for programmes and policy. For example, how does a government begin to strengthen its core public health capacities, as demanded by the International Health Regulations? What counts as a global health security concern…
