A creative industrial design framework of the taxonomy for Chinese indigenous materials and relevant crafts
Industrial designers have a need to acquire knowledge related to physical materials and undertake activities such as materials selection and materials-driven creative design. Chinese indigenous materials (CIMs) and relevant crafts are identified as a significant but currently untapped resource for designers. Existing research lacks systematic organization and classification for this rich resource making it difficult to develop an online materials…

By God, I’ve lost my leg
L’archéo-anthropologie a le plus souvent investi l’archéologie des conflits par le biais des sépultures multiples, mais d’autres aspects, en particulier celui de la gestion des blessés à l’issue de batailles, peuvent également être documentés. Les fouilles menées par le collectif Waterloo Uncovered, qui lie recherche scientifique et œuvre sociale à destination de vétérans souffrant de stress post-traumatique, explorent depuis quelques années le c…
The illustration of all art expressed in objects of utility’
This article examines the formation of the collections of fifteenth- and sixteenth-century European works of art at the Victoria and Albert Museum. For brevity’s sake, all are characterized here as ‘Renaissance’ objects, rather than by their century of production. During the first quarter-century of the museum’s activity, Renaissance art was a powerful conditioning influence on British culture and society. This encouraged the growth of the Renais…
Raphael
During the Raphael quincentenary, three books appeared on the cartoons and tapestries of the Acts of the Apostles. These are reviewed here by the former senior curator of paintings at the Victoria and Albert Museum, who co-curated an earlier exhibition there on these works (see Mark Evans and Clare Browne, with Arnold Nesselrath (eds.), Raphael: Cartoons and tapestries for the Sistine Chapel (London, 2010)). Raphael was commissioned in 1515 by Po…
Youth activism and education across contexts
In this paper, we discuss core ideas arising from research undertaken in a Leverhulme Trust (IN2016-002) funded international network project. The project examined youth activism, engagement and the development of new civic learning spaces within and across six countries (Australia, Canada, England, Hungary, Lebanon and Singapore). Arising from interactions with activists and educators and by reviewing literature, we argue that four areas are imp…

Trust, sense of community, and civic engagement
This article examines the association between trust, sense of community, and civic engagement, with a particular focus on the socioeconomic characteristics of individuals, using data from the Household, Income, and Labor Dynamics in Australia Survey. Through the use of panel logit and binary panel data models, we draw three core observations. First, there is evidence that trust is associated with civic engagement in Australia, particularly in the…
Australian administrative elites and the challenges of digital-era change
Within long-lived public sector bureaucracies, the organizational cultures developed by administrative elites have strong filtering and focusing effects on the kinds of technological changes adopted, especially in the modern era. Normally seen as very slow-moving and hard to alter, senior officials' attitudes towards digital changes have recently begun to alter in more substantial ways in Australia. We review first a considerable reappraisal of t…
Jacques Copeau
This book examines Jacques Copeau, a leading figure in the development of twentieth-century theatre practice, a pioneer in actor-training, physical theatre and ensemble acting, and a key innovator in the movement to de-centralize theatre and culture to the regions. Noe reissued, Jacques Copeau combines: an overview of Copeau's life and work an analysis of his key ideas a detailed commentary of his 1917 production of Moliere's late farce Les Fourb…

Water use in the Basin has increased five-fold in less than a century. The problems caused by over-allocation have been exacerbated by severe drought and the early impacts of climate change. There
Complacent young citizens or cross-generational solidarity? An analysis of Australian attitudes to democratic politics
Negativity towards mainstream politics is at an all-time high, with young people often targeted as the issue. However, are young people really to blame for political malaise? This article seeks to make sense of contemporary debate about political disenchantment in Australia using a cluster analysis to compare levels of complacency across generational cohorts. In this, we find no evidence to support the idea that Australians of any age cohort are …

The Routledge Companion to Jacques Lecoq presents a thorough overview and analysis of Jacques Lecoq's life, work and philosophy of theatre. Through an exemplary collection of specially commissioned chapters from leading writers, specialists and practitioners, it draws together writings and reflections on his pedagogy, his practice, and his influence on the wider theatrical environment. It is a comprehensive guide to the work and legacy of one of …
Men of Taste. Essays on Art Collecting in East-Central Europe
This volume by a senior research fellow at the Slovak Academy of Sciences comprises four essays on five art collectors mostly active in Bratislava and its locality between the late eighteenth and mid twentieth centuries: Duke Albert of Saxe-Teschen (1738–1822), Count János Pálffy (1829–1908), Baron Karl Kuffner (1847–1924), Enea Grazioso Lanfranconi (1850–1895) and Count Antoine Seilern (1901–1978). A younger son of Frederick Augustus III, Electo…
Political participation in Australia
This article explores the idea that a citizen's relationship with their polity is contingent on and liable to change under certain conditions. The assessment of the prospects for political reform requires an understanding of the contingent nature of political engagement. Drawing from a survey of a representative sample of Australians three insights emerge. First, although many Australian citizens are not directly engaged in political actions beyo…
Quality' Criticism
Evans' article has a contemporary focus, addressing the nature of reviewing practice in the Australia's two principal 'quality' rock monthlies Juice and Rolling Stone. His study is premised on statistical analyses of the thematic content and address of reviews and provides a valuable framework for understanding two prime loci of reviewing practices which have helped shape a national field of taste. In conducting the statistical analyses presented…
The “Democracy-Politics Paradox”
Contemporary political scientists have observed a democratic paradox that has crystallized around the disconnection between how citizens imagine their democracy and how politics is practiced. Citizens continue to believe in the values of liberal democracy but are increasingly disillusioned with how their political systems work and the politics that are practiced in the name of democracy. This article revisits the root causes of political alienati…

Not yet 50/50’ – Barriers to the Progress of Senior Women in the Australian Public Service
In most countries around the world women remain in the minority when it comes to senior positions in both the public and private sectors. That there are barriers to their progression is not in doubt. What is not well understood is the nature of those barriers and the extent to which they are consciously or unconsciously constructed. Moreover, there has been a stark absence of empirical studies in the field of Australian public administration to i…
Understanding Policy Transfer
At the same time that comparative and international political scientists have been confronting the problems of analysing state behaviour under conditions of uncertainty, state‐centred political scientists are attempting, somewhat belatedly, to deal with the increasing complexity and uncertainty which underpins modern governance. Yet despite similar research agendas these disciplines have continued to speak past each other. This article contends t…
Policy transfer in critical perspective
The world of public policy is becoming increasingly small due to dramatic changes in global communications, political and economic institutional structures, and to nation states themselves. This article evaluates the implications of these changes and challenges for both the study and the practice of policy transfer and provides an understanding of the relationship between systemic globalizing forces and the increasing scope and intensity of polic…

Globalising Citizenship Education? A Critique of 'Global Education' and 'Citizenship Education
This article discusses, principally from an English perspective, globalisation, global citizenship and two forms of education relevant to those developments (global education and citizenship education). We describe what citizenship has meant inside one nation state and ask what citizenship means, and could mean, in a globalising world. By comparing the natures of citizenship education and global education, as experienced principally in England du…

Understanding localism
These two special issues of Policy Studies investigate various aspects of localism and draw insights from a broad range of different academic disciplines; which illustrates how ubiquitous the issue has become, both in the academy and in political discourse, particularly in the UK and increasingly in Australia. In this introduction, we begin by outlining three different types of localism – managerial, representative and community – which have unde…
Globalisation and public policy under New Labour
The concept of the Competition State differs from the Post-Fordist State proposed by regulation theory, which asserts that the contemporary restructuring of the state is aimed at maintaining its general function of stabilising the national polity and promoting the domestic economy in the public interest. In contrast, the Competition State focuses on the transformation of the state from within with regard to the reform of political institutions, f…
Policy transfer
Policy transfer research has been something of a growth industry, reflected in the fact that Google Scholar identifies 17 articles on the subject with more than 100 citations. Of course, as an earlier issue of Policy Studies indicated, the concept and its use have not gone unquestioned. However, the contributors to this volume, for the most part, argue that the study of policy transfer has matured significantly over the last two decades. In order…

In our view, one clear conclusion emerges from this volume. Policy transfer research is alive and well and being pursued in a variety of ways, at different levels of governance, using insights from

Beyond the integrity paradox – towards ‘good enough’ governance
This article understands integrity in public administration as a metaphor for the crafting of accountable, transparent, competent and responsive public administration underpinned by the concept of public value. It further argues that the design of effective integrity agencies requires a broad understanding of the obstacles to the achievement of integrity in public administration, the options for integrity reform and the appropriate strategic fram…

Balancing Peace, Justice and Sovereignty in Jus Post Bellum
Theories of jus post bellum have tended to be what I call `restricted', in that they have focussed on the norms to govern the ending and immediate aftermath of a just war. But the goal of building a just peace, which is the ultimate aim of a just war, often places rather longer-term responsibilities on the shoulders of the victorious just, especially where occupation of the defeated unjust state is required (the scenario on which I concentrate). …
Post-war reconstruction, policy transfer and the World Bank
This article investigates the role of the World Bank as an agent of international policy transfer in post-war reconstruction and development. A heuristic method which integrates policy transfer network theory, participant observation and implementation analysis is developed and then used to map the process of policy-oriented learning underpinning the emergence and development of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan's National Solidarity Programme …
Moral Responsibilities and the Conflicting Demands of Jus Post Bellum
Recently, strong arguments have been offered for the inclusion of jus post bellum in just war theory. If this addition is indeed justified, it is plain that, due to the variety in types of post-conflict situation, the content of jus post bellum will necessarily vary. One instance when it looks as if it should become “extended” in its scope, ranging well beyond (for example) issues of “just peace terms,” is when occupation of a defeated enemy is n…

Gordon Brown and public management reform – a project in search of a ‘big idea’
This article evaluates the Brown-effect ‘real’ and ‘potential’ on public services production in the UK. It is observed, rather unsurprisingly, that Gordon Brown's approach to public services reform is a logical extension of the New Labour modernisation project and represents the extension of new public management (NPM) methods articulated in the populist rhetoric of ‘choice’, ‘personalisation’ and ‘user’ engagement. It is argued, however, that wh…

And, if so, how should academic knowledge about public administration be used for its betterment?

Attitudes on the ethics of abortion, sex selection, and selective pregnancy termination among health care professionals, ethicists, and clergy likely to encounter such situations
The ethical attitudes of health care providers toward abortion, sex selection, and selective termination of normal and anomalous fetuses in singleton or multiple pregnancies were evaluated by questionnaires distributed to members of the American Society of Human Genetics, the International Fetal Medicine and Surgery Society, the Society of Perinatal Obstetricians, ethicists, and clergy. Demographic characteristics of respondents exhibited a prepo…

Anti-Perfectionism and the Liberalism of Inoffensiveness
Recent, influential theories of liberalism have attempted to maximise respect for the diversity in conceptions of the good life by trying to purge the justifications for their own political principles of any controversial ideal. This paper argues that this wel-meaning move ought to be resisted, as it undermines liberalism's ability to defend and promote itself

The consultants’ offensive
Business process reengineering has tended to be seen as a management fashion and the brainchild of the gurus who popularised it. Yet this overlooks the role of consultants in the spread of BPR and the system itself as a specific technique of change management. In fact BPR played a significant role in the push for new business in management consultancy and has become integral to an armoury of consultant tools. This article explores reengineering a…

Is public justification central to liberalism
Many exponents of liberalism in contemporary political theory claim that ‘public justification’ is the central idea of liberal political belief. This paper challenges this contention, first by highlighting some of the many members of the liberal ideological tradition which do not share this characteristic and, second, by arguing that Rawlsian political liberalism (which is presented as a paradigm of the public‐justificatory variant) cannot cohere…
Policy Transfer Networks and Collaborative Government
This article makes three central claims. Firstly, it argues that the study of policy transfer provides a rich source for investigating structures and processes of Collaborative Government. For policy transfer is the outcome of collaborative activities between governmental and non-governmental actors. Secondly, it further argues that Collaborative Government can both extend and limit participation; empower and disempower. Thirdly, we draw on previ…
The New Constitutionalism and the Impact of Spill-wer
This article provides a preliminary examination of the political consequences of constitutional reform for the territorial management of the British State. Drawing on European integration theory, it argues that the constitutional reform process can best be examined through the lens of a modified neo ficnctionalist approach which allows the political scientist to: (1) study constitutional reform as a process; (2) describe what appears to be going …

A major new reference volume - The Edinburgh Companion to Contemporary Liberalism is the premier collection of material on a comprehensive range of topics in contemporary liberalism.Liberal theory has been caricatured by its critics as an abstract, unworldly, trivial philosophical navel-gazing pursuit. The Companion counters this view by showing how liberalism can tackle wide-ranging practical concerns that urgently demand attention in twenty-fir…

Anticipating the Citizenship Curriculum Order in Secondary Schools in England
This paper is based on a small-scale study that explored how a sample of ‘specialist’ secondary school teachers in England characterize ‘educating for citizenship’ on the eve of its inclusion into the National Curriculum. This study was carried out between September, 2000 and January, 2001. Data was gathered from a group of ‘specialist’ secondary teachers through postal self-completion questionnaires, interviews, and classroom observations. Relev…

Politicians as paragons of virtue
It is often claimed that liberals today advocate a politics which, as far as possible, eschews support for any particular ethical ideals of character. Among the considerations that may be adduced in support of this commitment is an ostensibly powerful resistance to any notion that politicians have a special responsibility to set ethical standards for those they represent. This article argues, however, that the idea of politicians as ‘ethical exem…
