The Indian Ocean and Swahili Coast coins, international networks and local developments
The distinctive coinage of the Swahili Coast (c. 800–1500) has for a long time been seen as a barbarized coinage on the edge of the Islamic world, a product of colonial settlements of Arabs and Persians. With new evidence becoming available, the towns have taken their place as flourishing African trading ports, homogenously developed from local villages. One of the most durable remains of archaeological material culture in these towns, the coins,…
A deposit of Kilwa-type coins from Songo Mnara, Tanzania
A deposit of coins was recovered during excavations at Songo Mnara, Tanzania, containing over 300 copper Kilwa-type coins. This is the first deposit or hoard of these coins found in a well defined archaeological context and it therefore offers a unique glimpse into both the typology of these coins and their contemporary uses. The ramifications of the Songo Mnara deposit are discussed. In particular, the deposit is firmly attributable to the end o…

Confessions of an Economic Hit Man
As an Economic Hit Man (EHM), John Perkins helped further American imperial interests in countries such as Ecuador, Panama, Indonesia and Saudi Arabia. The events of 9/11 - a direct result of the activities of EHMs in the 1970s - finally forced him to confront the role he played himself, and to reveal the truth to the rest of the world
Nazi foreign trade policy and Australia, 1933–39
The present paper explores the extraordinary interest in trade with Australia evinced by the Nazi regime in Germany. The presumed orientation of Berlin was then towards the expansion of international trade, to become ‘domestic’ after the outbreak of the Second World War, with eastern and southeastern Europe. Yet a considerable effort was expended up the development of commercial ties with distant Australia. The effort expended upon the Antipode i…

National Identity Formation in the Baltic Provinces of the Russian Empire
The modern history of the Baltic provinces of the former Russian Empire has essentially been written from an ethnic/national perspective. It is basically the story of the formation of the Latvian, Estonian, Lithuanian and German 'communities', of their 'specific' national identities and eventually of nation states. With those who acquired a German identity, the focus has essentially been upon the landed nobility, the so-called 'Baltic Barons', th…

National and Imperial Identity
Australian Governments and Automotive Manufacturing, 1919‐1939
In recent years the progressive lowering of tariff barriers in Australia has produced a predictable backlash from those who are directly affected. The reaction, however, extends to academics and others who have no pecuniary interest in the outcome, and who have argued that the tariff represented a policy consciously designed to promote the economic development and defence capacity of this country. On the basis of experience in the motor vehicle i…

Continuity in modern German history? The treatment of gypsies
In the historiography of modern Germany a persistent theme is the search for, and the denial, of continuity from Imperial Germany, through Weimar and the Third Reich to the Federal Republic of today. It is argued here that the treatment of Gypsies furnishes an element of continuity. Obviously, the mass slaughter of Gypsies at Auschwitz and other concentration camps possesses a certain uniqueness. However, the basis for that action was laid during…
Cattle theft, primitive capital accumulation and pastoral expansion in early New South Wales, 1800–1850∗
The key role of cattle (as against that of sheep) in the settlement and economic development of colonial Australia has been neglected. This species of livestock made possible the opening up of the interior of the continent, where, until the later nineteenth century, they occupied more grazing land than sheep, to enable wool production to become the export staple. Cattle functioned as a surrogate for capital, otherwise in critically short supply. …

The Technology of Open-Range Cattle Farming in Early European Australia
The technology of open-range cattle-farming in early European Australia was notable for a simplicity that bordered on the primitive. It was far less sophisticated than contemporary farming in the British Isles. Some of the techniques used were identical with and may have been borrowed from New Spain. Others, in particular the use of the stockwhip and the development of an effective cattle dog were Australian innovations
The Swastika Down Under
In his study of the activities of the German Nazi Party in the Netherlands published in this journal, Bob Moore concluded that: 'The extension of the party abroad seems to have been based more on internal party considerations than on ideological principles.' In other words, the recruitment of Germans living abroad, the formation of local NSDAP branches and the host of other activities carried out by the Foreign Organization (Auslandsorganisation)…

The German agricultural worker, 1815-1914
This paper examines the history of the German agricultural worker from the early nineteenth-century abolition of serfdom up to 1914. Initially, peasant labour services and the compulsory farm service of peasant youth on Junker farms were replaced by contractually hired farm servants and the cottager system. The latter involved the exchange of labour for an allocation of the land, whereby the worker become a petty commodity producer and also an em…

Congressional Self-Improvement
The complaint about Congress which has been more or less chronic in this country's history became acute during the 77th Congress (1941-42). While some of the condemnation was abusive, personal, and partisan, much of it was a frank recognition of existing weaknesses emphasized by present responsibilities. Intelligent response to this criticism both inside and outside of Congress resulted in constructive suggestions intended to restore the represen…

Dualism in German Agrarian Historiography
The historiography of agrarian Germany before 1914 is fundamentally based upon two moments (in the Weberian sense): one of a structural and the other of an institutional nature. The structural moment comprises an emphasis upon the existence and role of agrarian dualism, that is, upon a sharp contrast, emerging from the later Middle Ages onwards, in the agrarian systems found east and west of the River Elbe and its tributary the Saale, which toget…
A Note on the Relationship Between English Proficiency, Years of Language Study and Medium of Instruction
The purpose of this investigation was to examine the relationship between measured English‐language proficiency, years of English‐language study and the use of English as a medium of instruction for samples of Arabic‐speaking Egyptian and Lebanese university students. The results of multivariate regression analyses indicated no systematic relationship between years of EFL study and English proficiency. A better overall predictor of proficiency wa…
Higher Education and Training for Administrative Careers
E DUCATION for public administration is best approached in its broadest context. Higher education in any of its manifestations cannot be properly considered apart from the social climate. Conversely, one of education's responsibilities is to help the social order overcome its shortcomings. In this reciprocity, education for public administration is no exception. In fact, the relationship between education and social progress is brought into sharp…
Staffing Democracy's Top Side
is best to abjure the quarrel and concede the element of truth in the rhyme. Our democratic republic is threatened, as are all forms of government, by the seemingly inevitable Polybian cycle wherein an inherent weakness of one form of government causes transition to another: monarchies become tyrannies and are succeeded by aristocracies, which, in turn, become oligarchies, ad infinitum. A Biblical lifetime ago Woodrow Wilson declared, It is getti…

Permanent Advisory Committees to the British Government Departments
A significant development in British government since the turn of the century is the permanent advisory committees to the British executive departments. Writing in 1926, Professor John A. Fairlie stated: “Detailed information as to the operation of such advisory committees is not available; but the multiplication of such bodies in recent years is an indication that they have been found useful.” At the time when this statement was written, there w…
Willow Run Produces Bombers and Intergovernmental Problems
Wings over Europe and the Far East are being spread from what was until last year mere Midwestern field and stream—Willow Run, now the site of the world's largest and most revolutionary bomber plant. Air supremacy for the United Nations may rest upon Henry Ford's adaptation of assembly-line methods from autos to airplanes. B-24 bombers now being flown from the hangars at the bomber plant are casting their shadows over the countryside round about.…
Government of “Rurban” Areas
Michigan has a metropolitan problem, but by no means confined to the one area of Detroit, commonly thought of as Michigan's only metropolitan region. Other Michigan cities also have “growing pains” as their populations sprawl beyond their formal boundaries. The Motor City continues to suffer from this ailment, but the disease has taken a new form. Not only are the urbanites moving to the suburbs, but the suburbanites are moving to the rural secti…

Preparation of the Local Budget
The old saws, “money makes the mare go” and “he who pays the piper calls the tune,” make for awareness of the central importance of budgeting in government. While these expressions indicate the possibility of a measure of general understanding of public budgeting, they also are indicative of the ease with which superficiality and misconceptions may develop in this field. A public budget, one authority has rightly declared “... is not what most pe…
State Legislative Reorganization
While much attention has been given to the efforts of Congress to improve itself, the activities of the state legislatures which have sought improvements as diligently, incidentally fulfilling their laboratory function, have gone virtually unnoticed. Twenty-eight states have given consideration to the renovation of the law-making branch. Comprehensive studies were made in Massachusetts, Connecticut, and in a more limited manner in California. New…

The Evolving Technology of Vermin Control in Colonial Australia
Settlers in colonial Australia resorted initially to traditional methods of vermin control inherited from Europe, namely, trapping and hunting. The magnitude of the problem required eventually the development of novel, more sophisticated and considerably more costly technologies
Convict Labour and the Australian Agricultural Company
Introduction Inspired by the Bigge Report of 1823, with its emphasis upon encouraging the inflow of capital to promote rural enterprise, the Australian Agricultural Company was formed in 1824, through a combination of Act of Parliament (5 Geo IV., cap. 86) and Royal Charter, to acquire a large area of land in the colony of New South Wales. According to a German writer of the 1930s, with the entry of this enterprise into the field, ‘The actual ope…
