Instrumentalisation of time as a barrier to academic freedom for research: The fixed-term faculty experience in UK universities
The UK boasts the world’s second strongest higher education (HE) system. Unlike most other HE systems globally, employment in UKHE is characterised by the absence of tenure and the preponderance of fixed-term contracts, which can significantly impact working conditions and the exercise of academic freedom. Yet, the relationship between fixed-term employment and academic freedom remains empirically under-researched. This study explores the ways in…

Academic freedom in contemporary Britain: A cause for concern
Using comparable legal information, and empirical data from over 2000 members of the UK's University and College Union and 2000 staff in universities of the European states, gathered by means of similar surveys, this paper is a comparative assessment of the de jure protection for, and the de facto levels of, academic freedom enjoyed by academic staff in the UK, when compared to their EU counterparts. The paper examines the legal and constitutiona…

The Determinants of Taxation in Britain: An Empirical Test
The effects of political and macroeconomic influences in determining the principal taxes in the United Kingdom since 1948 are examined here. Basic models of tax determination – policy initiative, macroeconomic determination and consumer preference – are tested. Causal path analysis is used to answer the question: Which is more important in determining tax revenues: the policy initiatives of governments, or circumstances in the economy which in th…
The local government workforce — Public sector paragon or private sector parasite
Borough Politics” and “County Government” Administrative Styles in the Old Structure
Most studies of local outputs in Britain focus on urban authorities, use simplistic measures of the political system and pay little attention to the importance of the administrative system. In this paper an attempt is made to remedy these deficiencies by constructing a comprehensive causal model of output determination in county authorities. The model reveals that in the counties, unlike the boroughs, the impact of political parties is less cruci…
