Imagining Futures Amidst the Uncertainty of Living: A Critical Participatory Action Research Project with Adolescents and Young Adults with Lived Experiences with Cancer
In this paper we share key insights from an 18-month participatory research project exploring the lived experiences and realities of cancer among racialized adolescents and young adults (AYAs). Written collaboratively with adolescent and young adult co-thinkers, we discuss the creative methodologies used in the study, critical and imaginative frameworks within Indigenous, Black and queer of colour theorizing, and the value of an interdisciplinary…
Homelessness prevention and determinants of housing among first-time and recurrent emergency shelter users in Canada
Primary and secondary prevention initiatives stop people from becoming homeless and help them exit quickly when they do. This study uses administrative data from emergency shelters in Canada from 2010–2016 to compare homelessness pathways and housing outcomes between first-time and recurrent shelter users. It uses a multinomial logit model to identify factors that influence the likelihood of exiting into housing following a shelter stay. The find…

A New Form of Democratic Oversight in the EU: The Joint Parliamentary Scrutiny Group for Europol
In 2017, a new Joint Parliamentary Scrutiny Group (JPSG) was created to enable members of the national parliaments of the EU and the European Parliament to exercise joint oversight of the EU agency for police cooperation (Europol). This paper chronicles and explains the lengthy legal and political process leading up to the first meeting of the Europol JPSG in October 2017, and the establishment of its Rules of Procedure at its second meeting in M…

Dominant party cohesion in comparative perspective: Evidence from South Africa and Namibia
Africa's proliferation of dominant-party regimes is often regarded as an obstacle to democratization. Scholars and practitioners therefore face the task of understanding how and why constitutionally legitimate challenges to dominant party rule occur. This article asks: why do some presidential succession crises act as a catalyst to dominant party fragmentation when others do not? It argues that minority factions are more likely to defect from a d…
The politicization of interparliamentary relations in the EU: Constructing and contesting the ‘Article 13 Conference’ on economic governance
The Opened Letter: Networking in the Early Modern British World, by Lindsey O’Neill
The purpose of Lindsey O’Neill’s book is to elucidate the networks of correspondence that spanned the Atlantic Ocean, that is to say the British World, during the latter part of the early modern period (c.1650–c.1750). To achieve this, the author tackles distinct themes within each of the six chapters: ‘The Perils of the Post Office’; ‘Mapping the Epistolary World’; ‘Networking in the Epistolary World’; ‘Nurturing the Epistolary World’; ‘New Netw…
Kurze Rede, Langer Sinn’: The Nineteenth‐century German Short Prose Narrative Introduction1
Theodor Storm and Disenchantment
This essay examines Theodor Storm as a practitioner of the novella in the context of ideas about ‘disenchantment’ – a concept given prominence by Max Weber and later taken up by Adorno and Horkheimer. The comparison proceeds from Storm's recognised relation to currents of nineteenth‐century thought from which the philosophical discourse of disenchantment emerged. In the perspectival complexity of Der Schimmelreiter Storm gives expression to probl…

This article examines the roads upon which the T udor government's postal arrangements rested, the methods deployed by central government for sending and receiving official mail nationwide, and the network of exchequer‐funded post‐stages that connected London with the south‐western periphery of the realm during periods of war, rebellion and political turmoil. The article also uses a large number of postal endorsements to measure objectively the s…

It's My Party: Opposition Politics, Party Motivation and Electoral Strategy in Namibia
In Namibia, opposition parties play a vitally important role in the processes by which groups are represented, institutions are legitimised and ruling elites held to account. Yet authors have so far neglected to identify and conceptualise the objectives driving opposition behaviour. Political theorists from Downs to de Swaan have argued that all parties are driven by a desire to influence policy, form a governing majority or capture ministerial o…

Dialectic and Paradox: Configurations of the Third in Modernity
"From Hegel to the present, the humanities and social sciences have revealed the volatile power of third agency. Systems of thought and practice are often disturbed by the presence of a figure that exceeds traditional binary oppositions. The articles in this volume trace the role of these triadic figures across a broad range of discourses in social theory, philosophy and science studies. Modernity emerges as a mode of system-formation, perpetuati…

This third volume explores German Idealism's impact on the literature, art and aesthetics of the last two centuries. Each essay focuses on the legacy of an idea or concept from the high point of German philosophy around 1800, tracing out its influence on the intervening period and its importance for contemporary…

Bicameral or Tricameral? National Parliaments and Representative Democracy in the European Union
The Treaty of Lisbon defines the European Parliament and the Council as the principal institutional actors of ‘representative democracy’ in the EU, thus endorsing an essentially ‘bicameral’ model of EU democracy. In this model, national parliaments focus their scrutiny on their governments’ conduct of EU affairs, but are not themselves EU-level actors. However, the Treaty of Lisbon also creates an Early Warning Mechanism which empowers national p…

A ‘Virtual Third Chamber’ for the European Union? National Parliaments after the Treaty of Lisbon
The Treaty of Lisbon introduces an early warning mechanism (EWM) which empowers national parliaments to intervene directly at the EU level; they may now raise objections to – and even play a role in blocking – EU legislation. The EWM represents a new model of parliamentary involvement in international relations: national parliaments now constitute a virtual third chamber for the EU. Though they do not meet together in the same physical space, nat…

The Watchdogs of Subsidiarity: National Parliaments and the Logic of Arguing in the EU
The 2004 Constitutional Treaty features an ‘early warning system’ (EWS) in which national parliaments will scrutinize European legislative proposals to assess whether they comply with the principle of subsidiarity. In constructivist terms, this procedure effectively sets up the Commission and the national parliaments as interlocutors in an argument over when and how the EU should legislate. At a minimum, this system – which should be expanded to …

Growing discipline through total quality management in a New Zealand horticulture region
Networking, Technology, and Governance: Lessons from New Zealand Horticulture
Cooperative business networking and technological learning have been treated as discrete features of successful regional economies. It is argued that both may be understood as governance solutions within the respective global commodity chains. Empirical evidence is examined of five export-oriented horticultural industries in Hawke's Bay, New Zealand. Within these industries a number of instances of networking and technological learning are identi…

The Politics of Education and Architectural Design: The instructive example of British primary education
In Britain, the years since the Second World War tend to have been presented as a period of revolution in primary education, as a time of dramatic changes. These have apparently occurred not just in educational practices but in the design of school buildings deemed necessary to accommodate these practices. This paper is a review both of the part which central government has played in encouraging changes in design, and of the supposed alterations …

Teachers' Assessments of Primary School Buildings: The role of the physical environment in education
How and what do British primary school teachers think about the buildings in which they work? Do they believe that these buildings influence the education that children receive? This paper contains a limited but detailed attempt to answer these two questions. This is presented by reporting linked case studies of the views expressed by teachers in ten widely differing school buildings in one particular local education authority. These views are di…

Mapping out fuzzy buzzwords - who sits where on sustainability and sustainable development
Environmentalism has spawned a new vocabulary. Even frequently used words are still poorly defined. Different groups use the same words to express different ideas; often definitions are coloured by the groups' incompatible core value systems. This leads to fuzziness and misunderstanding. Such tendencies mean that a common vocabulary does not necessarily make for better communication. Quite the contrary: the use of fuzzy buzzwords prevents differe…

Direction, Disruption, Voice: Durs Grünbein's "Historien" and "Neue Historien
Focusing on Durs Grünbein's presentation of different "histories" ("Historien"), the author offers an approach to his poetry based on voice—the ways in which Grünbein's voice is constituted by the presence of other voices from the German poetic and philosophical tradition. He begins by discussing the pervasive importance of Celan's voice for Grünbein's attempts to explore different layers of place and time, then uses this as a basis for close rea…
