  • Incendiary assets

    Open AccessJohn SchmidtARTICLEEnvironment and Planning A…2024References: 32

    In California, wildfires caused by electrical infrastructure have left the state's investor-owned power utilities with major and growing liabilities. But even in such an incendiary environment, the financial industry has demonstrated that it can profit from disaster. This paper uses the 2019-2020 bankruptcy of Pacific Gas & Electric to explain how. In it, I show how "risk" in California's electricity industry is legally constituted, mediated, and…

  • Has India Peaked

    John Schmidt, John R SchmidtARTICLEThe Washington Quarterly2014

    Has India peaked? This may seem like a strange question given the strong economic growth the country has experienced since it liberalized its economy in 1991. Together with China, India is widely r

  • The Unravelling of Pakistan

    John Schmidt, John R SchmidtARTICLESurvival2009Cited by: 4

    Self-absorbed and disposed to muddle through even as their world is crumbling about them, the feudal elites who govern Pakistan are poorly equipped to resist the growing threat from radical Islamic forces. Having played the key role in the emergence of radical Islam in Pakistan by using jihadist groups to advance Pakistani foreign-policy interests in Afghanistan and Kashmir, Pakistani authorities have long since lost their ability to control them…

  • Why Europe Leads on Climate Change

    John Schmidt, John R SchmidtARTICLESurvival2008

    In January 2008, the EU announced an ambitious new plan to unilaterally reduce carbon emissions beyond its Kyoto commitments. An exploration of EU climate-change policy reveals a desire to minimise risk in the face of uncertainty about the precise impact of global warming. In taking a global leadership role, the EU seeks to enhance its prestige, to demonstrate to the United States that emission reductions can be done relatively cheaply, and to de…

  • The Egyptian Drill and the Origin of the Crank

    Richard S Hartenberg, John SchmidtARTICLETechnology and Culture1969Cited by: 2

    The manipulation or method of operation of an Egyptian drilll-a boring tool for making large holes, as in the hollowing of stone vesselshas been the subject of much speculation, particularly in reference to the crank. Historians have either positively or diffidently assigned the first appearance of the crank to this tool of antiquity, without, however, giving explanations that ring true. Although the drill has not yet been found as an artifact, t…
