Restoring the Primacy of Army Mobilization Planning
This article argues that the US Army must restore the primacy of mobilization planning to prepare for the growing likelihood of a protracted large-scale war involving the United States. While the Army’s transformation initiatives have emphasized important tactical matters, this piece calls attention to critical strategic vulnerabilities associated with mobilization—one of the Army’s enduring core functions. The article identifies insights, challe…
Climax of Clearance
This public lecture considers the impact of the 1840s European potato blight on Scotland. It focuses especially on the Highlands, where phytophthora infestans exposed the people of the region to acute life-threatening crisis. Throughout, comparisons and contrasts are drawn with the Great Irish Famine ( an Gorta Mór) which has attracted much more scholarly and popular attention than the famine in Scotland. One key question is why did the Highlands…
The TE Ranga Tupua Covid-19 Response
“Ko te pae tawhiti whāia kia tata, ko te pae tata whakamaua kia tina; seek to bring distant horizons closer and sustain and cherish those that have been arrived at”. This whakatauāki or proverb, from Dr Whakaari Te Rangitakuku Metekingi (LLD, CBE) of Whanganui and Ngāti Hauiti tribes reminds us that, while we must have a vision to aspire towards, we must also tend to the here and now, to the issues that are up front and close to home. It exhorts …
An Enduring Connection
This contribution to the theme of ‘Scotland and the Two Irelands’ takes the form of a discussion between Michael Rosie, editor of Scottish Affairs, and Professor Sir Tom Devine, the pre-eminent scholar of modern connections between Scotland and Ireland. In the discussion Devine unfolds the migrant autobiographies of the Devine and Martin families, from rural Ulster, through industrial Lanarkshire, and into Scotland’s professional classes. The acc…
Tea and Empire
This book examines the remarkable life story of James Taylor, renowned as ‘the father of the Ceylon tea enterprise’. Published in 2017, the 150th anniversary of Ceylon tea, the book documents Taylor’s role in that global commodity, and its forerunners, coffee and cinchona. It utilises Taylor’s own writings together with documentary and ethnographic evidence, to recreate plantation life in the high noon of the Victorian empire. It shows that the i…
In Bed with an Elephant
In an on-quoted remark, the former Canadian Prime Minister, Pierre Trudeau, during a speech in Washington, DC in 1969, observed to his American audience that 'living next to you is in some ways like sleeping with an elephant: no matter how friendly and even-tempered the beast, one is affected by every twitch and grunt'. Trudeau's memorable simile could, of course, be applied to any relationship between a large, powerful country and a close neighb…
The Break-Up of Britain? Scotland and the End of Empire the Prothero Lecture
The essay is concerned with the retreat from the British empire and specifically with the Scottish aspects of that process. It is now acknowledged that the Scottish role in the imperial project was central. Hence there is a special interest in tracing the response to the end of empire north of the border. Several historians and political scientists have argued that imperial decline was likely to destroy one of the key foundations of the Anglo-Sco…

Scottish Emigration in the Seventeenth and Eighteenth Centuries
This chapter examines Scotland through perspectives from T. C. Smout, Ned C. Landsman, and T. M. Devine. The 17th century is discussed by Smout, who emphasises the great scale and diversity of Scottish migration to Europe and Ireland before the Union with England in 1707. The 18th-century movement from the Lowlands is discussed by Landsman, who stresses both its probable scale and the difficulty of distinguishing Lowland Scots from the Scotch Iri…

On almost every farm, one or two of them worked for wages, undertaking the regular tasks ofagriculture in close contact with their masters …
