A global analysis of the bidirectional relationship between biodiversity conservation and poverty reduction
Biodiversity conservation and poverty reduction are globally interlinked and increasingly addressed together to achieve sustainable development. Amid diverse interventions and scarce funding, it is imperative to examine their bidirectional relationship to guide resource allocation. We conduct a global analysis by disaggregating the interaction between 29 kinds of conservation actions and 6 dimensions of poverty (livelihood capitals), using data f…
Gibraltar and the ‘British Mediterranean’
This article traces the role of Gibraltar in British strategies and policies in the Mediterranean and in relations with Spain from its seizure in 1704 to post-Brexit. In the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries this was shaped by accident and contingency rather than any strategic logic. Later, a Gibraltarian identity emerged. Pragmatism has shaped developments after Brexit allowing Gibraltar to bed down anew in a symbiotic relationship with its Sp…
Playing the Turkish card
This article revises the narrative of the pre-independence troubles in Cyprus to take greater account of Anglo-Turkish interactions. Initial Turkish reluctance to play any role was overcome by the determination of Harold Macmillan as British Foreign Secretary after April 1955 to bring the country into the centre of the picture. The analysis underlines how, far from simplifying any solution, this intensified Turkish suspicions of the motivations b…
Cyprus and the Great War of 1914-18
Cyprus was affected by World War I although it saw no fighting or major internal upheavals and it made no large scale contribution of troops or resources. The British administration aimed to carry on as normal, warding off any suggestion that contributions to the war effort might encourage future political claims. Cyprus was largely isolated. Government officials were stuck there for the duration and there were complaints about their caliber and …
The Warm South
Ever since the age of the Grand Tour in the eighteenth century, the Mediterranean has had a significant pull for Britons — including many painters and poets — who sought from it the inspiration, beauty, and fulfilment that evaded them at home. Referred to as ‘Magick Land’ by one traveller, dreams about the Mediterranean, and responses to it, went on to shape the culture of a nation. This book charts how a new sensibility arose from British engage…

An Enchanted Garden
This chapter details British engagement with the Mediterranean from 1860 to 1890, highlighting British dilemmas in the field of culture during the High Victorian age. The Britons of the period remade their world in material terms, but also, eventually, in political ones. Many also confronted the frightening disintegration of their religious faith in the wake of Charles Darwin's On the Origin of Species . Thus, it is hardly surprising that in othe…
Blue-water empire
Blue-Water Empire is Holland's magnificent narrative of Britain's military and cultural ties with the Mediterranean Sea, in the style of the epic naval histories of N. A. M. Rodger. has been a major presence in the Mediterranean from the Battle of the Nile to the end of empire, as both a military and a colonising force on the islands and coastlines of the sea. Holland traces the fascinating story of that presence, from its legacies in culture, la…

Andrew Porter
Patterns of Anglo-Hellenism
The Mediterranean has recently been under-represented in the historiography of the British overseas experience. This contribution highlights the British engagement with the Greek-speaking world in that context. The interactions between the British Ionian Protectorate and the emergence of an ‘independent’ Greek state are evoked. It is seen that while the British encouraged the latter, they did so within strict limitations and with some regrets. Th…
The British and the Hellenes
The Greek revolt against Turkish rule in the 1820s, and the ensuing establishment of an independent Hellenic Kingdom, was the principal precursor of an age of nationalism in the eastern Mediterranean world. Amongst the Great Powers, Great Britain thereafter played the most critical role in struggles to expand the frontiers of Greece beyond their initially confined extent. Through a focus on events leading to the cession of the Ionian Islands to G…

(De-)Rationalizing the irrational
This paper takes as its starting point the observation of quasi-religious, ‘cultural’ characteristics in the dominant discourse of Western liberal democracy, and of ‘ideological’ characteristics in the discourse of Islamism – noting that both discourses rely, to some extent, upon the notion of rationality. Having provided working definitions of rationality, ideology, and culture, it goes on to argue that culture and ideology may be viewed as disc…
Globospeak? Questioning Text on the Role of English as a Global Language
This paper suggests that the acrimony of debate on 'Global English' is partly explained by a 'top-down' approach taken in much of the literature. It proposes instead a text-based approach, aimed at examining the particular uses of English lexis in non-English contexts and with a view to observing how these relate to larger-scale issues. It goes on to consider the deployment of English vocabulary in four sample Indonesian texts, and to discuss pos…
The decolonizing metropole
The theme of what the end of empire meant to metropolitan politics and society is less developed in recent British historiography than in its French and Dutch counterparts. This article examines why, in the British case, decolonization was able to be handled in such a way that relatively little turbulence was transmitted to the Home nation. The essence of that decolonization lay in the separation of metropolitan affairs from overseas transitions.…
The British Empire and the Great War, 1914–1918
This chapter reports the impact of the wartime experience on the British Empire as a system of power, and suggest where between these two extremes the Imperial or colonial outcome of the war came to rest. Whether Britain could transform itself into a continental elephant, instead of being constrained into an Imperial and aquatic role, was also an issue between 1914 and 1918. The war did not spawn new Dominion nations in the way that simplified co…
Britain and the Revolt in Cyprus, 1954-1959
This book provides a reconstruction of a major British decolonization. Charting the 'inner history' of a violent colonial Emergency, it provides a case-study of the dilemmas posed by the challenge of terrorism overseas after 1945. The book analyses the evolution of a political settlement which, almost uniquely in the British 'end of empire', slid beyond the United Kingdom's control. It considers the effects of the revolt on the politics of the su…
Counsels of despair or withdrawals with Honour
Partition was an answer sometimes adopted by Britain as it sought to resolve the dilemmas of decolonization in circumstances where the populations of the emerging nations were irreconcilably divided. Despite negative popular images associated with all of the cases examined, partition was also the only way of ensuring a controlled transfer of power and minimizing chaos. During the process of decolonization, Britain manoeuvred to remain where possi…
The British Experience of Decolonization
In reconstructing the metropolitan experience of the ‘end of empire’, one of the key questions might be posed as follows: how much did it really hurt? Was it a mere glancing blow to the head, or some more crushing punishment delivered to the chin or solar plexus? How successful – to pursue the boxing metaphor - was the metropole at improvising a ring-craft to come out on top, or at least avert defeat, in the contest of decolonization? This articl…

On Making Sense of a Philosophical Fragment
A Fragment of ancient philosophy is like a code message which it is the task of the scholar to decipher. The cryptogram has come down to us, but not the key. In case this beginning should be thought obvious by anyone, let me say at once that I do not believe a word of it, though I believe that the attitude it epitomizes is by no means uncommon and is part of the explanation of a tendency to mishandle philosophical fragments. The attitude is to be…

"Miss Glasgow's "Prufrock
AT THE beginning of her career, in the 1890's, Ellen Glasgow set herself the task of writing a social chronicle of her State, and, by extension, of her time, over a period of two generations. At the time of her death, in 1945, the chronicle had been extended two generations more, so that at its completion it covers a period of nearly one hundred years. In this chronicle we are shown the gradual disintegration, from 1850 1914, of the old aristocra…
