Rethinking Social Inequality
Originally published in 1982, Rethinking Social Inequality is a collection of essays looking at the breadth of contemporary work in social inequality. The book focuses on inequality as a central project of sociological enquiry, and is unified by the overarching rejection of a distributional notion of inequality, in the place of a relational one. The object of the study is not the deprived social group, but the unequal social relations, which is m…
Sociology in and of Wales
Beginning with early fact-finding investigations this paper outlines the emergence of a distinctive sociology of Wales and relates it to changes occurring in the Welsh university system. It traces the tensions between emphases on language and culture, and on class and economy, and shows how the focus of sociological work has shifted over time, reflecting changes in Welsh society and political structures. Early preoccupation with community studies…
Lives Beyond Suspicion
This article explores and extends the field of historical rural sociology using the idea of respectability via a biographical study of 20 older adults from North Wales (UK) for whom the performance of respectability represented a form of social, symbolic or cultural capital. It entailed the active negotiation and management of barriers between differing constituencies of opinion, generations and family members. Key to this situated respectability…
Inside Out
This article is based on an empirical baseline study undertaken in 2005 which examined the experience of ‘the English’ who have moved and settled into north-west Wales. The movement of the British/white groups and their experiences have been less of a subject for examination and yet a dispersal of ‘the English’/British as both immigrants and colonisers has occurred and is ongoing. Migration between the constituent countries of the UK and the move…
There's One Shop You Don't Go Into If You Are English
Research into ethnic minorities in Wales has gathered pace in recent years. Yet little is known about Wales' largest ethnic group, the English, although the Welsh–English boundary remains the main marker of ethnic distinction, and migration into Wales from England represents a continuing challenge to the maintenance of distinctive ‘Welshness’—including Welsh language and associated culture. Evidence from a study of English migrants into selected …
Placing the Nation
Community and Everyday Life
'Community' continues to be a persistent theme in political, philosophical and policy debates. The idea of community poses fundamental questions about social inclusion and exclusion, particular versus general interests, identity and belonging. As well as extensive theoretical literature in the social sciences, there is a rich body of social research aimed at exploring the nature of community, and evaluating its contribution to people's lives and …
Being English in North Wales
English migration into rural Wales presents migrants with unexpected experiences of ethnic and national difference. A study of English migrants in north Wales shows that many adapt by adopting new or alternative definitions of national belonging, including being British, claiming to be “really” Welsh, becoming more “Welsh,” or assuming some hyphenated identity. A minority find themselves more conscious of their Englishness, and unable to integrat…
Chasing the dragon? Devolution and the ambiguities of civil society in Wales
Devolution promises a new and closer relation between civil society and the National Assembly for Wales, framed by principles of inclusivity and equality of opportunity. Supporters envisage the development of a stronger, more democratic civil society. This article critically assesses progress so far, and explores anxieties that, in the pursuit of improved governance for Wales, the Assembly may become too directive
Operationalizing the Responsibility to Protect—the Policekeeping Approach
At battle of Solferino, Henri Dunant was so appalled by loss of life that he founded what became International Red Cross movement to mitigate most barbaric effects of modern warfare. His concept was that an agreement between states, Geneva Conventions, could regulate conduct of combatants along more humane lines. Since then, transformation from conflict between states to conflict between peoples within states has fundamentally altered moral and p…

Theorizing Nationalism
Theorizing Nationalism provides a comprehensive and accessible review of the main theoretical approaches to understanding nations, nationalism and national identities. Its systematic and clearly structured approach makes it an ideal purchase for undergraduate students of Sociology, Politics and International Relations. Well illustrated with a variety of international examples, it gives a detailed insight into the contributions of key social theor…
Policekeeping is the Key
The main problem following a US-led international intervention in Iraq will be re-establishing widespread and sustainable governance. It is probable that with the removal of repressive political authority, state control will falter and crime rates boom. This can be countered through an international civil administration with law and order as a guiding mandating principle. Order could be ensured by ‘policekeeping’, via a large ‘blue force’ of prim…
The training dimension of the UN mission in Bosnia and Herzegovina (Unmibh)
Evaluating the 'New Politics
This paper focuses on an issue that underpins much of Labour's social and political reforms: civil society. Recent 'third way' treatises, from those by thinkers close to New Labour, such as Anthony Giddens, to Tony Blair's own published thoughts, declare that the regeneration of civil society is one of the primary goals of devolution and decentralisation. This paper focuses specifically on the relationship between the National Assembly for Wales …

Locality and Community
The paper seeks to examine how social science has attempted to combine the uniqueness of place with general social processes. Two concepts which have traditionally been used to this end are examined; these are 'locality' and 'community'. It is argued that although community has fallen out of favour, problems associated with the use of 'locality' could lead to a revival in the use of the former concept. Case study material from rural Wales is pres…

Mid Wales
This paper responds to previous contributions to Urban Studies dealing with the achievements of the Development Board for Rural Wales. It questions the preoccupation with the number of manufacturing jobs which the Board has helped to create, and draws attention to the issue of their quality, and to the uneven spatial impact of the Board's policies. It also notes how the original conditions which led to the Board's establishment may no longer appl…
