  • Crazy train: Sub-urbanisation, geographic polarisation and high-speed rail in US politics

    Open AccessStephen Martins, Stephen Martin et al.ARTICLEThe Journal of Transport History2025References: 19

    This paper examines the impact of political and geographic polarisation on high-speed rail (HSR) projects in the United States. Drawing from opinion polls, newspaper articles and election results, this paper demonstrates that sub-urbanisation and the construction of the interstate highways have fostered a geographically polarised political climate that serves as a barrier to the implementation of HSR in the United States. In examining these facto…

    Open AccessLucy Veale, Georgina H Endfield et al.ARTICLEGeo Geography and Environment2017Cited by: 1References: 5

    People have long been interested in the history of weather, particularly extremes, and chronologies of past events drawing on information from written records have been compiled and published throughout history. In recent years, concern over current and future weather and climate has triggered a new level of interest in past weather events and their impacts. This interest, alongside the development of digital humanities research methods, has resu…

In his absence the political and social world has subtly changed, parties and policies no longer fixed and advancement dependent upon scheming and alliances. His private life lays him open to the scandal-mongering press, and the wild accusations of an unhinged rival; but much…

  • A View from France on the Internal Complexity of National Models

    John R Bowen, John BowenARTICLENew Community2007Cited by: 31References: 4

    In this paper, I argue that explicit national models of religious governance inevitably conceal tensions and ambiguities, and are not suitable bases for socio-political analysis of religious governance. I take the French notion of ‘laïcité’ as an example, pointing out the diversity of definitions and uses of the term. A stronger foundation for analysis is the long-term tradition of the state controlling and supporting recognised religions, a trad…

    This chapter analyses the debates on the relative merits of claims to self-governance made in Indonesia based on peoplehood, place, and social norms.
