    Alan Peacock, Alan T Peacock et al.BOOKThe Growth of Public Expenditure…2024

    Originally published in 1961, this book became widely used as a textbook, as an important source of primary data on British government expenditure statistics and as the point of departure for further empirical and analytical studies of the behaviour of governments. The book was recognised as one of the formative influences in the development of a positive theory of government expenditure which sought to explain the size and structure of the syste…

  • Repetition and Ritual Logic in Video Games

    Open AccessAlison Gazzard, Alan PeacockARTICLEGames and Culture2011Cited by: 4References: 2

    By moving away from a model of ritual that focuses on magic and fantasy worlds, this article seeks to broaden the discussion of ritual actions, performances, and objects in first- and third-person video games. Ritual will be understood through the idea of a "ritual logic" that enables the wider associations of ritual in the virtual as opposed to the real world to be analyzed, and through the key element of repetition in game play. In part derived…

  • The i‐Map: A process‐centered response to plagiarism

    Kim Walden, Alan PeacockARTICLEAssessment & Evaluation in Higher…2006

    In recent years there has been a marked change in our cultural relationship with information which has implications for our teaching and learning practices. Current concerns about the identification of, and responses to, plagiarism are grounded in that process of change. In this paper we take the position that it is better to address and respond to the causes of plagiarism and so avoid it, rather than to place the emphasis on its detection and pu…

  • The Lifecycle of a South African Non-governmental Organisation: Primary Science Programme 1983-1999

    Stephen Harvey, Alan PeacockARTICLEComparative Education2001Cited by: 1References: 1

    The case study traces the lifecycle of the Primary Science Programme (PSP) in South Africa, from its initiation in 1983 to its demise in 1999. The case is considered to be representative of the experiences of many South African non-governmental organisations (NGOs), insofar as PSP developed co-terminously with numerous other NGOs within the same political policy environment, serving the same clientele of disadvantaged teachers and depending on th…

  • Public financing of the arts in England

    Open AccessAlan Peacock, Alan T PeacockARTICLEFiscal Studies2000

    The paper describes the method, amount and composition of public financing of the arts and heritage services in England during the 1990s. This offers the background to a discussion of how far the rationale for government financing for such services can rely on arguments derived from welfare economics. The presence of ‘market failure’ has been widely accepted by successive governments and their advisers, but attempts to remove it have encountered …

  • An agenda for research on text material in primary science for second language learners of English in developing countries

    Alan PeacockARTICLEJournal of Multilingual and…1995References: 24

    The review focuses on evidence related to the readability and comprehensibility of text material for learning science in primary schools, which shows that texts are often too difficult for children, particularly in developing countries where pupils are learning through a medium of instruction which is not their first language. Evidence is reviewed in relation to six main features: teacher quality; cultural appropriateness of resources; language o…

  • Louis MacNeice: Transmitting Horace

    Open AccessAlan Peacock, Alan J PeacockARTICLERevista Alicantina de Estudios…1992

    MacNeice's engagement with the work of Horace was a life-long affair. Even as a schoolboy he had admired the Romn poet's verbal succinctness 1 and in his last years, with a deepening sense of kinship, he turned to him in meditative fellow-feeling in the poem "Memoranda to Horace" which apostrophises the Romn poet across the centuries, to sound reas of shared vales and experience -as well as points of difference. Horace was a natural candidate for…

    In 1977 a group of European and British economists held a small round-table conference sponsored by the Trade Policy Research Centre, London, to discuss the place in recent economic thinking of the German liberals who had markedly influenced the post-war economic policy of the Federal Republic of Germany. It was no accident that this event occurred in that particular year. It had been touch and go whether or not the British Labour Government woul…

  • German Liberalism and Economic Revival

    Hans Willgerodt, Alan PeacockCHAPTERGermany's Social Market Economy1989

    During the summer of 1968, economists from Czechoslovakia were sent by their reformed government to the Federal Republic of Germany to consult West German experts, mainly those in favour of the market economy. They wanted to gain more detailed information on the great experiment in de-regulation which Ludwig Erhard had begun in 1948 and carried through with such conspicuous economic success. Since then visitors from many other socialist or semi-s…
