Harold Laski, the Reluctant Marxist: Socialist Democracy for a World in Turmoil
Factors Influencing Runner's Choices of Footwear
Until the mid-2000s, qualitative research has been virtually absent from running injury research. A handful of studies have been recently published regarding the attitudes and perceptions of runners and coaches toward injury development. Footwear is frequently perceived as a risk factor for running related injuries, but empeirical evidence fails to support such beliefs. The reasons why runners choose specific footwear warrants formal investigatio…
The First Marx: A Philosophical Introduction
Marx’s early work is well known and widely available, but it usually interpreted as at best a kind of stepping-stone to the Marx of Capital. This book offers something completely different; it reconstructs, from his first writings spanning from 1835 to 1846, a coherent and well-rounded political philosophy. The influence of Engels upon the development of that philosophy is discussed. This, it is argued, was a philosophy that Marx could have prese…
Harold Laski's International Functionalism: A Socialist Challenge to Federalism
Harold Laski argued for international functionalism from his distinctive socialist perspective. He opposed the existing international system based on the principle of state sovereignty. He also criticised the international federalism proposed as an alternative to the existing system. Although Laski began to devise and present his functionalist case in the 1920s, the circumstances of the following decade led him to adopt and adapt some Marxist ide…
Henry Noel Brailsford: Neglected cosmopolitan
The British Left in the Problems of Peace Lectures, 1926–38: Diversity that E.H. Carr Ignored
The proceedings of the Problems of Peace conferences held annually at the League of Nations headquarters in Geneva from 1926 to 1938 included lectures from an array of ideological positions. Some contributors were from the Left, ranging from moderate liberal socialists to the more firmly anti-capitalist thinkers. Those of the latter category presented challenges to the existing international order, holding views that bore some affinities to E.H. …
Transformational leadership and the work outcomes of Chinese migrant workers: The mediating effects of identification with leader
This study examines the mediating influence of identification with leader on the relationship between follower perceptions of transformational leadership behavior and their work outcomes, using data obtained from migrant workers and their supervisors in a large manufacturing company located in south-eastern China. Hierarchical regression analysis revealed that transformational leadership was positively related to the affective commitment and job …
Employing Gramsci in Support of Laski on the Problems of British Idealism
In the early to mid-20th century Laski was a prominent critic of British Idealist political philosophy. Laski's political thought helps reveal weaknesses in the Idealism of Green and Bosanquet, who did not pay sufficient attention to divisions within society. Social unity, state sovereignty and the general will are among the concepts upon which Laski focused. The strength of Laski's criticism can be enhanced by drawing upon Gramsci's influential …
Henry Noel Brailsford's Radical International Relations Theory
Compared with some of his contemporaries Brailsford is relatively neglected today. He offered incisive analysis of the international relations of his times, discussing political and economic aspects together. He grounded his contributions upon a view of human nature that drew on the ideas of Godwin, Shelley and Condorcet. A cosmopolitan, socialist political philosophy also underpinned his work. Brailsford was sharply critical of balance-of-power …
G.D.H. Cole on the General Will: A Socialist Reflects on Rousseau
In his contribution to socialist thought G.D.H. Cole adopted and revised Rousseau’s concept of the general will. During his early guild socialist phase Cole drew on the general will in his scheme for a functional, associational democracy. In the late 1920s Cole began to question whether the socially oriented element of individual will might be expressed in the existing social and economic circumstances. In the 1930s he combined social democratic …
Politics, Robinson Crusoe , Harold Laski and Plato: A Response to Burns
In a recent article, Tony Burns (2000) challenged the traditional view that politics is necessarily restricted to relations between human beings. However, what such a challenge does not take into account is that the values of non-human nature cannot be conveyed from their source to the humans that represent them. Indeed, such values are estimated by nature's human representatives. The ideas of Harold Laski and Plato can be invoked to support the …
Ideological Reconciliation in the Thought of Harold Laski and C. B. Macpherson
Both Harold Laski and C. B. Macpherson attempted to reconcile elements of liberalism and Marxism in their work. Macpherson offered a clearer and more precise argument about the ways in which capitalist market relations frustrate freedom, equality and the development of the individual. Laski provided a clearer and more consistent account of human nature, which is necessary to sustain such an argument. Macpherson, in turn, reformulated the distinct…
Mobile Telephony in Rural Australia: Is it a Natural Monopoly
Considerable debate surrounds the provision of mobile telephony to remote and rural Australians. Disquiet about the closure of the analogue network, controversy over its replacement and recognition of potential rural competitiveness from digital technologies are all significant aspects of this debate. Within the discussion surrounding regional and rural development, there is a growing concern over the standard of mobile telecommunications infrast…
Harold Laski (1893–1950): Political theorist of a world in crisis
Harold Laski was a writer who exercised enormous influence in the turbulent environment of the early to mid-twentieth century. Though normally regarded as a political theorist, Laski frequently wrote on the problems of international politics. Certainly, his work was fully engaged with world issues in the inter-war and post-war periods. Like many critical and idealist thinkers of the time, he initially hoped that the League of Nations would usher …
Laski on Rights and the Problem of Liberal Democratic Theory
From 1919 until the mid-1920s Laski developed a cogent egalitarian theory of democratic rights. In the 1930s he turned his attention to the conflict between such rights and the capitalist property rights of liberal theory. His defence of democratic rights is significant in the context of contemporary discussions of rights, autonomy and democracy
Laski's ideological metamorphosis
During the early to mid‐twentieth century Laski's ideological perspective underwent a constant process of revision. As he experienced the turbulent environment of British and world politics in that period his early associationalist—or pluralist—ideas became intertwined with the democratic socialist and Marxist tenets he adopted. What is significant is that his intellectual development illustrates clearly the way in which associationalism, democra…
