The Ideas That Rule Us
No Such Thing as Society
The Continuing Imperialism of Free Trade
Continuing Imperialism of Free Trade
Defending the Rock
In this lengthy and broad-ranging history of Gibraltar, Nicholas Rankin attempts to make the case that Gibraltar was central to the defeat of Nazi Germany in the Second World War.Rankin’s claim as
Reformers and revolutionaries
This article examines labour organisation in Gibraltar and its hinterland from c.1914 to 1921. It demonstrates that the traditionally strong links which had existed between organisations in Gibraltar and neighbouring Spain, links based upon a shared belief in anarchist ideas and practices, had, by 1921, broken down due to the adoption of gradualist and constitutionalist politics and industrial relations by workers on the Rock. Two principle agent…
Anarchy in the UK(‘s most famous fortress)
This article is the first to investigate the growth of anarchist ideology and tactics in Gibraltar and the surrounding Spanish region, the Campo de Gibraltar, in the period 1890–1902. We draw upon hitherto unused material from both The National Archives in London and the Gibraltar Government Archives. By doing so, we demonstrate that during this period Gibraltarian and Spanish workers came together, not only to defend and advance their interests …
Compromising liberty
This paper examines a rare and unstudied piece of consultancy work undertaken by Hayek, in 1944, for the British Colonial Office and for the Government of Gibraltar. Hayek’s subsequent reports suggested the reorganisation of the state-regulated Gibraltar housing market in line with free market principles, forcing the colony’s working class population to relocate into neighbouring Spain. However, rather than freeing Gibraltarians from the evils of…
The private military industry and neoliberal imperialism
Despite the international reach, and increasing global importance, of the free market provision of military and security services—which we label the Private Security Industry (PSI)—management and organization studies has yet to pay significant attention to this industry. Taking up Grey’s (2009) call for scholarship at the boundaries between security studies and organization studies and building on Banerjee’s (2008) treatment of the PSI as a key e…
Naked abroad
This article draws on Gallagher and Robinson (1953) and combines their concepts with insights offered by, amongst others, Callinicos, Eagleton and Harvey, in order to demonstrate continuities between British and US imperialism. They include the willingness of states to engage in imperial action (despite public statements of anti-imperial sentiment); the use of formal and informal control to secure the frontiers of a state's expanding economy; and…
Britain and the Franco regime
A Good Soldier, but a Maligned Governor
This article examines the governorship in Gibraltar of General Sir Archibald Hunter in the years from 1910 and to 1913. It highlights the difficulties that governors of strategically important British outposts, such as the imperial fortresses of Gibraltar, Malta and Bermuda, faced in discharging the dual roles of civil governor and military governor. Drawing upon evidence from Hunter's biographers, the National Archives in London and repositories…
