Bridging Indigenous Studies and Archaeology Through Relationality: Collaborative Research on the Chignecto Peninsula, Mi'kma'ki
How can indigenous studies inform archaeologists conducting collaborative research with descendent communities and, in turn, what can archaeology's understanding of changes in the land from the deep to the recent past offer indigenous studies? The concept of relationality—with its Mi'kmaw manifestation in msɨt no'kmaq ("all my relations")—serves as a bridge for examining what these disciplines can contribute to each other. A reflexive examination…

The Future of Chemical Weapons: Implications from the Syrian Civil War
With chemical weapons (CW) use in Syria raising questions about the health of the CW norm, this article analyses whether the Syrian case will lead to further proliferation and use of chemical weapons by states. We argue that that significant proliferation and use is unlikely and that the norm therefore remains robust. We focus on the use of chemical weapons at Ghouta in 2013 and on the Hama Plains in 2014, and reach three conclusions. First, chem…
Norms, Military Utility, and the Use/Non-use of Weapons: The Case of Anti-plant and Irritant Agents in the Vietnam War
The role of norms and military utility in the use of weapons is disputed by constructivist and realist scholars. Through an examination of US decision-making regarding anti-plant and irritant agents in the Vietnam War, I advance this debate in three key ways. First, I develop structural realism's expectations regarding the role of military utility. Second, I demonstrate that social and material factors are at play in our understandings of both 'n…

The Continuing Value of Nuclear Weapons: A Structural Realist Analysis
Changes in how we think about nuclear weapons cannot strip them of their strategic value. Only a transformation of the nature of international politics or the emergence of an alternative means of strategic deterrence can do that. The structural realist analysis that I present argues that there are two basic constraints on the role that nuclear weapons play in international politics. The first constraint stems from the anarchic and competitive nat…

Diversity in auxology: Between theory and practice Proceedings of the 18th Aschauer Soiree, 13th November 2010
Auxology has developed from mere describing child and adolescent growth into a vivid and interdisciplinary research area encompassing human biologists, physicians, social scientists, economists and biostatisticians. The meeting illustrated the diversity in auxology, with the various social, medical, biological and biostatistical aspects in studies on child growth and development.

Competition and Inequality: Evidence from the English National Health Service 1991-2001
Competition is often prescribed as an efficiency-enhancing tonic for ailing health systems. However, critics claim that competition exacerbates socioeconomic inequality in health care. This claim is tested in relation to the “internal market” reforms of the English National Health Service (NHS) from 1991 to 97, which injected a small dose of hospital competition into a state-funded, state-owned health system responsible for more than 90% of natio…

Biblical Authority in the Writing of Pope Innocent IV (1243-54)
When discussing the thirteenth-century concept of Christian unity, Jack Watt asserted, ‘Too little is as yet known of the interaction of theological and canonical thought to be able to say with precision just what the canonists contributed to this development among more abstract thinkers and what they received from it.’ Thirty-five years on this comment largely remains true for our knowledge of the inter-relation of theology and canon law in the …
From Balance of Power to Balancing Behavior: The Long and Winding Road
The relation between structural realist theory and the study of foreign policy has long been problematic and controversial. Kenneth Waltz has clearly argued that structural realism is a theory of international outcomes, not a theory of foreign policy, and that indeed it cannot be a theory of foreign policy. At the same time, Waltz clearly thinks that structural realism can help us to understand state behavior, and when exploring the economic and …
The Role of Biological Weapons in International Politics: The Real Military Revolution
This article analyzes the role of biological weapons in international politics. In order to understand why states might want these weapons, I examine the utility of biological weapons as counterforce weapons on the battlefield as well as their ability to serve as a strategic deterrent. I argue that despite recent scientific advances, biological weapons are not well suited to battlefield use. Instead, it is the ability of biological weapons to ser…

The results of the pilot programme influenced the Best Value guidance, demonstrated that the Best Value framework can deliver improvements and helped to shape ministerial expectation…

Gender and Innovation: Farming, Cooking and Palm Processing in the Ngwa Region, South-Eastern Nigeria, 1900–1930
Three main forms of agrarian change are shown to have occurred in the Ngwa region during the period covered in this article. The first was the adoption of a new hand-processing method for palm oil, which can be seen as a response to growing pressures on female labour resources as Ngwa farmers increased their export production of palm oil and kernels. The second was the adoption of cassava by women. This increased their workloads but helped them t…

If you decide to move you must step carefully between piles of old papers strewn across the floor and, perhaps, small channels of water. If…
