Republican Policing
Policing by consent is an influential frame of reference for police forces, policy makers, and members of the public in appraising the means and ends of law enforcement in Anglo-American societies. The doctrine is nonetheless vulnerable to powerful philosophical and political objections, which suggests that an alternative paradigm is necessary. This article draws on recent republican political theory in elaborating a doctrine of policing by conte…

Civil disobedience as transnational disruption
Civil disobedience has been theorised as an informal guardian of the constitution in democratic societies, but such accounts struggle to accommodate protest that has an international or global dimension. This article addresses this issue through offering a theory of civil disobedience as transnational disruption. Civil disobedience is ‘transnational’ insofar as it is an appeal to a national, international or global public that highlights failures…
The boundaries of a deliberative system
The idea of a deliberative system has been employed to demonstrate that deliberative democracy should not be limited to the give-and-take of reasons, but can also incorporate a range of apparently non-deliberative actions. Despite the appeal of this move, the inclusive spirit of the systemic turn is indicative of a general problem with its theoretical framework. The problem is that the boundaries of a deliberative system have not been drawn with …

Private experiments in global governance
Emerging scholarship on global governance offers ever-more detailed analyses of private regulatory regimes. These regimes aim to regulate some area of social activity without a mandate from, or participation of, states or international organizations. While there are numerous empirical studies of these regimes, the normative theoretical literature has arguably struggled to keep pace with such developments. This is unfortunate, as the proliferation…
Deliberation beyond Borders
The aim of this article is to contribute to the elaboration of a deliberative approach to global institutional design. A deliberative approach aims to embed processes of mutual reason-giving at the heart of international relations and global decision-making. The theoretical framework that orientates this discussion is the liberal approach to international law developed by John Rawls. It may seem strange to invoke this model: after all, Rawls does…

Unemployment and the Left Coalition in France and Spain
This article compares how recent Socialist governments in France and Spain addressed the policy dilemmas and political dynamics of unemployment. Despite contrasting initial approaches to unemployment, the governments of Francois Mitterrand and Felipe Gonzalez eventually adopted economic approaches emphasizing business profitability and investment over the reduction of unemployment, while at the same time enacting measures to cushion the shock for…

Industrial Crisis and the Left
What choices exist for governments ruled by left political parties as they confront global economic change, in particular basic shifts in industrial technology and production? This article addresses this question by comparing how recent Socialist governments in France and Spain have responded to adjustment crises in core industries facing declining markets and international competition. Our goal is to explain a surprising outcome. Faced with mark…
Self-exempting beliefs about smoking and health
OBJECTIVES. The purpose of the present study was to examine the role of self-exempting or cognitive dissonance-reducing beliefs about smoking and health. Such beliefs may hold important implications for the content and targeting of health promotion campaigns. METHODS. A survey of smokers and ex-smokers was conducted in western Sydney, Australia. Six hypotheses were tested. RESULTS. The principal findings were (1) that 27.9% of smokers and 42.1% o…

TowardsAutogestionin socialist France? The impact of industrial relations reform
Industrial relations reform (the ‘Auroux laws') represented a test case of the French Socialists’ intentions to bring about workers’ self‐management (autogestion). This article examines (1) the laws’ major provisions, (2) reactions by employer and worker groups, and (3) primary impacts of the reforms. The analysis argues that the Auroux laws do not challenge employers’ authority, and thus do not embody the principles of autogestion; rather, the l…

Nationalizations for What? Capitalist Power and Public Enterprise in Mitterrand's France
Conversational Planning and Self-Serving Utterances
Thirty-two pairs of strangers were videotaped during a 15-minute interaction during which one of the pair, acting as a 'confederate' of the experimenters, inserted a pre-designated 'boast' into the conversation. Male and female confederates were observed to differ significantly on some aspects of their approach to the task: Women were significantly more likely to be calculating, top-down planners, while males were more likely to offer boasts as '…

Paradoxes of plural unionism
This paper examines the dynamics of ‘plural unionism’ in France, specifically the relationship between the two largest trade unions, the Confédération Générale du Travail (CGT) and the Confédération Française Démocratique du Travail (CFDT). Four major themes are explored: (I) Unity of action (unité d'action) between the two unions is strongly influenced by the wider economic and political contexts; (2) Unity of action between the CGT and CFDT app…
