By incorporating the five aspects o…
Allen Curnow: The life of the poems
Allen Curnow (1911–2001) was one of the great poets of the 20th century. He attained that status in his late poetry, which can be dated from 1972. This was not the only Allen Curnow: by that date
The Bureaucratic Bourgeoisie
This article examines shifts in Soviet ideas about the economic and political role of the state. Drawing on documents from Russian archives as well as published debates, the article traces Soviet ideas about how states operate. Examining the role of writers such as Fedor Burlatsky and Karen Brutents, the article suggests that by the 1970s and 1980s, Soviet analysts increasingly believed that state structures could be self-interested, functioning …

In any language, giving thanks is the most obvious thing imaginable.1 If you learn just one expression in a foreign language, it has to be ‘thank you’. And so, here in front of you all, I can only say, first and foremost, danke, vielen Dank, danke schön, recht herzlichen Dank. Saying ‘thank you’ is ‘the least one can do’, French courtesy proverbially tells us – the least one can ethically do. It is also, at a personal level, the most emotional wa…

Adoption, reinvention and amendment of renewable portfolio standards in the American states
It has long been recognised that interstate diffusion of policy innovations is comprised of distinct decisions including adoption, reinvention and amendment. Interstate influences are an important driver of these diffusion processes, but studies to date have not investigated the degree to which external influences vary across these decisions. We theorise that geographical peers will have the largest impact in adoption decisions; that ideological …

Regulatory Stringency and Policy Drivers: A Reassessment of Renewable Portfolio Standards
Renewable energy policy has far‐reaching implications for national and international economic, environmental, and political sustainability, but thus far within the United States it has been almost entirely the province of state governments. This article examines the factors motivating state‐level policymakers to adopt different forms of a renewable portfolio standard (RPS), highlighting the distinction between degrees of policy stringency, rangin…

Navigating the contradictions of public service modernisation: The Case of Community Engagement Professionals
English A commitment to public service reform has been a guiding theme of Labour administrations in Britain since 1997. These modernisation policies and practices formed the context for our research, using psychosocial approaches to analyse the contradictory impacts of modernisation agendas on social development workers’ motivations, professional values and the ways in which they identified and addressed ethical dilemmas in their work. Profession…
Private Passions, the Public Good and Public Service Reform
There has been considerable recent discussion of the impact of public service reforms on the work ethics and motivations of public service workers. In this article we draw upon recent research on the ethical dilemmas facing regeneration workers in order to look more closely at the role of values in the working lives of public service professionals. Focusing on the commitment to social justice, we argue that such values find expression in two inte…
Identity, Life History and Commitment to Welfare
Using detailed extracts from two life histories, this article examines the nature of the personal identifications that often underpin the commitment of welfare workers to their jobs. We explore the paradox that it is those identifications such as class and gender, mediated through individual biography, that fix the 'self as object' and that also provide us with the resources for self-transformation. In this respect, the article not only throws li…

Partners in Regeneration: Constructing a Local Regime for Urban Management
English In a world portrayed as diverse and complex, in which power is diffused, governance can be achieved only by building on formal inter-sectoral partnerships. These must involve all stakeholders including those previously excluded from decision making and will therefore present new challenges. Urban regeneration provides a good testing ground for evaluating such partnerships in action and their capacity to act as vehicles for building a new …

Canadian Non‐Profits in Crisis: The Need for Reform
This paper examines recent changes in the relationship between the Canadian state, at both federal and provincial levels, and those non‐profit organizations concerned with social welfare. The 1995 federal budget marked a turning point for Canadian non‐profit organizations as the federal transfer payments to the provinces were simultaneously restructured and reduced. This, in turn, meant that provincial funds flowing to non‐profit organizations wo…

Toward a self-regulatory form of accountability in the voluntary sector
English Non-profit organisations are private self-regulating bodies. As their social welfare role expands so the need for greater public transparency and accountability increases. This article concentrates on the relationship between the sector and those stakeholders, beyond government and funding bodies, that are without formal levers of power. It draws upon three Ontario-based case studies that have experienced considerable change and share a s…
