Medicaid Home and Community-Based Services Initiation and Acute Services Use
In this study among a large cohort of older adults with low income across the southeastern US, Medicaid HCBS was associated with a persistent decrease in acute services use. Future research should explore additional outcomes to better inform policies that can improve HCBS outcomes and an understanding of its tradeoffs with acute services use
A Failure Framework
This chapter synthesises the findings from our research and introduces a new framework for discussing and evaluating failure in relation to cultural participation projects and policies. In it, we argue for the importance of acknowledging that any given project or policy can succeed or fail in different facets, to different degrees, for different people, and over different timescales. We then offer some thoughts about how the policymaking process …
Histories of Failures
This chapter offers a historical context on the development of cultural participation as a policy “problem” in the UK. Furthermore, it identifies the logic on which policymakers tend to base their cultural participation policies and the assumptions that prevail as a result. Specifically, this chapter looks at the fault lines that have shaped the type of policies, projects, and practices that many cultural agencies see as “necessary” and “appropri…
The Failures of Policy
This chapter examines the purpose of cultural participation policies from the perspective of those who design and deliver them. It considers whether policymakers are open to the possibility of failure, both in terms of those whom they fund but also in relation to their own work and asks whether the context within which they work may support or hinder this openness. Finally, this chapter considers the types of failure that are acknowledged and how…
Failing at the Frontline
This chapter focuses on the type of failures that practitioners most often recognise. It examines the contested meanings of participation not only between policymakers and practitioners but also between different types of practitioners. This chapter considers the levers and barriers in addressing failures of practice and then presents alternative narratives about these failures that may support or challenge those of policymakers. In doing so, thi…
Thinking About Failing
This chapter explores how academic researchers have understood the concept of failure. The chapter focuses on public policy literature to develop an understanding of the relational and contextual nature of success and failure. After a brief discussion on what we can understand by cultural policy and who has a role in its inception and delivery, this chapter considers the ways in which academics have attempted to define what policy failure constit…
Failing the Participant
This chapter focuses on participants; the supposed beneficiary of cultural participation polices. We argue that literature on cultural participation too often overlooks the participants’ narratives. This chapter thus considers how the participant frames their own participation and how they define their success and failure in relation to the work that supports it. It examines this situation both in relation to work that professionals facilitate an…
Cultural Policy is Local
This collection promotes a greater understanding of ‘the local’ within the ways the arts, culture and creative practices are governed and promoted. This is an open access book.
An Improbable War
The First World War has been described as the "primordial catastrophe of the twentieth century." Arguably, Italian Fascism, German National Socialism and Soviet Leninism and Stalinism would not have emerged without the cultural and political shock of World War I. The question why this catastrophe happened therefore preoccupies historians to this day. The focus of this volume is not on the consequences, but rather on the connection between the Gre…

Britain's Biggest Wartime Stoppage
This article re‐examines the causes of the May 1917 engineering strike, the biggest strike in Britain during the First World War. Besides official files, it uses private papers and the records of the Amalgamated Society of Engineers. The stoppage began in sympathy with sacked employees at Tweedale & Smalley in Rochdale, who were resisting the spread of ‘dilution’ (replacing skilled by unskilled workers) from military contracts to private and comm…
The cultural non-participant
Purpose The existence of so-called non-participants is a cultural policy problem in the UK and beyond. Yet, the very notion of a cultural non-participant seems nonsensical against the palpable evidence of lived experience. The purpose of this paper is to understand “who” a cultural non-participant is by first comprehending “what” the cultural non-participant is and why it exists. Design/methodology/approach Drawing on primary data generated in th…
The Field Artillery Revolution and the European Military Balance, 1890–1914
This article centres on the introduction of the French 75mm light field gun, and its impact on the European military balance in the two decades before the First World War. It argues that the 75mm (and particularly its new recoil-absorption mechanism) dramatically accelerated the rate of fire and gave France a major military advantage over Germany between c. 1899 and 1906. Subsequently the application of the new technology to howitzers and heavy a…
Germany’s Fragile Rise
It has become almost a cliche to compare today’s Sino-American relationship with that between Germany and Britain before 1914. Graham Allison has led the trend, highlighting the danger of a ‘Thucyd
Arms Races in International Politics
The first comprehensive history of the arms racing phenomenon in modern international politics, drawing on European, Asian, and Middle Eastern examples from throughout the twentieth century and addressing the key questions - what causes arms races, and what is the connection between arms races and the outbreak of wars?
Do Nursing Home Chain Size and Proprietary Status Affect Experiences With Care
BACKGROUND: In 2012, over half of nursing homes were operated by corporate chains. Facilities owned by the largest for-profit chains were reported to have lower quality of care. However, it is unknown how nursing home chain ownerships are related with experiences of care. OBJECTIVES: To study the relationship between nursing home chain characteristics (chain size and profit status) with patients' family member reported ratings on experiences with…

Learning from the past
This article is based on an inaugural lecture for the Stevenson Chair in International History, given at the London School of Economics (LSE) in October 2012. It re-examines the origins in Britain in the 1920s of the academic discipline of international history, focusing on the partnership between the LSE and Chatham House. It highlights the differences among the discipline's founders between broader and more tightly defined conceptions of its su…
The global nitrogen cycle in the twenty-first century
Global nitrogen fixation contributes 413 Tg of reactive nitrogen (N r ) to terrestrial and marine ecosystems annually of which anthropogenic activities are responsible for half, 210 Tg N. The majority of the transformations of anthropogenic N r are on land (240 Tg N yr −1 ) within soils and vegetation where reduced N r contributes most of the input through the use of fertilizer nitrogen in agriculture. Leakages from the use of fertilizer N r cont…
Reaching a 'legitimate' value? A contingent valuation study of the National Galleries of Scotland
The pressure for publicly funded museums and galleries in the UK to effectively express their ‘value for money’ in order to advocate for their continued public subsidy is arguably greater than ever. Taking the National Galleries of Scotland (NGS) as a case study, this research aims to contribute to the execution of such advocacy through considering one model that museums and galleries could utilise in order to conduct their own small-scale valuat…
The First World War and European Integration
The importance of the First World War in European integration history has been understated. Before 1914, intensifying economic integration had not brought corresponding political integration. But once hostilities broke out, Germany pursued indirect economic and military domination over its neighbours and a Central European economic association based on agreements with Austria-Hungary. The drive for the latter had little success, because of German…
Fortifications and the European Military Balance before 1914
This article analyses the evolution of permanent fortifications in Europe between 1870 and 1914. Despite the introduction in the 1880s of high explosive shells, intensive construction continued until the eve of war. Fortifications figured prominently in armaments budgets and in offensive as well as defensive strategic planning, while their design changed radically. Nonetheless, the pattern of development worked against the Central Powers. Austria…
From Balkan Conflict to Global Conflict
This essay reassesses the process whereby between August 1914 and the end of 1917, all the most powerful countries of the day became belligerents in the First World War. It examines the three waves of decisions to intervene and offers generalizations about the process, comparing the early twentieth century with more recent periods

French War Aims and the American Challenge, 1914–1918
Between 1917 and 1919 the United States made its first, spectacular intrusion into European power politics. For President Wilson, entry into the First World War was a chance not only to eliminate an immediate threat to American interests but also to transform international relations. The time had come to weld the industrialized countries into a community of interest, based on a shared loyalty to representative government and the market economy, e…
The Radical Party in the Kirk, 1637–45
In the Scottish General Assembly of 1638 the Covenanters, openly defying Charles I, reformed the kirk to remove what they saw as its corruptions. Bishops and the Court of High Commission were abolished. The Five Articles of Perth (regulating certain points of worship), the 1636 Book of Canons and the hated Prayer Book of 1637 were all condemned

Britain, France and the origins of German disarmament, 1916–19
This article re-examines the origins of Germany's disarmament by the terms of the Treaty of Versailles in 1919. It focuses on British and French policy during World War I and at the Paris Peace Conference. It deals with both land and naval disarmament, and considers the influence of American diplomacy and of Allied public opinion. It traces the connections between the forced disarmament of the defeated countries and proposals for a larger disarma…
The King's Scottish Revenues and the Covenanters, 1625–1651
The ordinary revenue of the kings of Scotland in the early seventeenth century was drawn from a wide variety of sources. The comptroller received the revenues known as ‘property’ - fixed revenues and rents from Crown lands, payments from royal burghs, customs duties and the impost of wines. Out of these he met the"expenses of the royal household. The treasurer was responsible .for meeting nearly all other official and royal expenses out of the ‘c…

Four Hundred Years of Freemasonry in Scotland
Scotland has the oldest masonic lodges and the oldest masonic records in the world, predating their English counterparts by over a century. Yet freemasonry is usually neglected by social and cultural historians, partly, it may be, through ignorance and negative stereotypes of the movement and partly through the excessive secrecy of freemasons in the past. It is the purpose of this paper to survey the movement's development and indicate the many a…
Revisited1
This article re-evaluates the origins of the armistice of November 1918, drawing on German, French and British primary sources and on insights from work by political scientists on war termination. It examines why the German government decided to request a ceasefire and why the US, Britain and France decided to grant one. At first sight these decisions appear paradoxical in the light of the military-political situation at the time. In accounting f…
Armaments and the Coming of War, Europe (1904-1914)
The Failure of Peace by Negotiation in 1917
The First World War was launched in the belief that force could be an effective instrument of policy. Underlying the decisions of July and August 1914 was a hard core of calculation, based on the advice to governments that the fighting would be fierce but short, and that its political and economic repercussions could be contained. In addition, because the two sides were closer to military equivalence than in previous crises, both could believe th…
Masonry, symbolism and ethics in the life of Sir Robet Moray, FRS
This paper investigates some less well known aspects of the life, work and philosophy of Sir Robert Moray, FRS.These include his involvement with masonry, which derived partly from his professional interest as a military engineer, and partly from his desire as a scientist to investigate the secrets of the 'Egyptian', or ancient, knowledge which masonic groups were thought to possess.His use and interpretation of symbolism, as displayed on his per…
Deposition of Ministers in the Church of Scotland Under the Covenanters, 1638-1651
The period 1638-1651 saw the first major purges of the ministry of the reformed kirk in Scotland since the Reformation. These were the forerunners of the later great purges associated with the Restoration (of monarchy and episcopacy) in the 1660s and with the Revolution and re-establishment of presbyterianism in 1688-1690. Before 1638, for all the conflicts within the kirk and in its relations with the state, deposition of ministers had been rare…

Leather guns and other light artillery in mid-17th century Scotland
Leather guns were a 17th century experiment in gun manufacture that began in Switzerland and was adopted in Scotland. Their advantage was lightness: a relatively thin metal barrel was tightly wound with rope, wire or cord and encased in leather. Twenty-three such guns exist in Scotland, representing six types, and as a whole are distinguished from other European examples by several special features. James Wemyss in Fife was the principal Scottish…
