Political Theory, International Relations, and the Ethics of Intervention
Marx and the New Individual (RLE Marxism)
In what is the first sustained analysis of Marx’s attitude to the puzzle of the individual in history and society, this book, first published in 1990, challenges received views on the importance of class analysis and the place of a theory of human nature in Marx’s thought. The radical possibilities of individual agency in society are explored within a Marxian framework, and without recourse to the current fashions of methodological individualism …
Marx and the New Individual (RLE Marxism)
States of uncertainty
The biotechnological revolution presents states and governments with a set of challenges that they have difficulty meeting. Part of the problem is associated with common perceptions of the speed, volume and the radical uncertainty of the new developments. Globalisation is also implicated, especially in relation to the development of the knowledge economy and the role of multinational actors. This in turn contributes to the apparent decline in the…
Minding the Gap
Making a Crisis Out of a Drama
Political analysis presents the episode of BSE (bovine spongiform encephalopathy) as a crisis, a policy failure and a policy disaster, revealing fundamental problems with the political and administrative system in the UK. Associated with this finding is the view that trust in government has been damaged by the failure to communicate fully the potential risks to the public of eating beef. These conventional judgements are challenged here, on the b…
International social science research
This article explores research that, by definition or in practice, is conducted by the social science community at the international level. International research contrasts with most social science research, which is conducted within state boundaries by scholars who work on projects individually or in small groups. A survey of key research quality gatekeepers reveals a diverse range of international research activities in the UK, across all the d…
Perceptions of Cutting Edge Research in UK Social Science 1
Research that is deemed to be at the 'cutting edge' occupies a privileged position within the academic community. It enjoys the highest status and is very attractive to funding agencies. This article explores the possible meanings of the term 'cutting edge' and the descriptive and evaluative uses to which it is put in the social sciences. The views of significant academic gatekeepers on current developments in UK social science are presented. Inc…

Unequal Partners
As a general principle, equality of opportunity attracts considerable support. However, such agreement does not extend to definitions of equal opportunity policies or to the need and manner for their implementation. These policies have a variety of both ideological and historical aspects, and patterns of implementation are politically and culturally conditioned. To highlight different approaches to equal opportunity implementation, three countrie…
The International Relations Discourse and Halliday's Second Agenda
Individual Transitions to Socialism
This article proceeds from the assumption that the transition to socialism must take account of individuals as they are, not as they might be. The emphasis on the individual appears to be inconsistent with the marxian basis of socialist thought. Attempts to resolve this inconsistency have led marxists to concentrate on cultural and psychological explanations of people within capitalist society. We criticise these attempts, and argue for a view of…
People or Processes? Einstein and Freud on the Causes of War
Social Imperialism and Wilhelmine Germany
In recent times the historiography of the Wilhelmine Reich has clearly reflected the influence of Eckart Kehr and of later historians who have adopted and developed his work. The Rankean dogma of the Primat der Aussenpolitik (primacy of foreign policy) has been replaced by a new slogan, Primat der Innenpolitik (primacy of domestic policy). The resultant interpretive scheme is by now quite familiar. The social structure of the Bismarckean Reich, i…
