Measurable outcomes of consumer engagement in health research: A scoping review
Background: Consumer engagement is increasingly recognized as an instrumental component of health research, with many institutions and international bodies mandating it as part of the research and funding process. Given an increasing utilization of consumer engagement in health research, it is critical to identify the literature which support its value and tools that capture successful outcomes. To develop an overview of the literature, we conduc…

His Noble Dreams
The subtitle of Richard Drake’s new book on the historian Charles Beard certainly draws the eye. “The Return of the Master Historian of American Imperialism” expresses Drake’s wish to restore his subject’s reputation to where it was before Beard opposed U.S. participation in the Second World War and lambasted Franklin Delano Roosevelt as a great deceiver. So the book does not chronicle Beard’s actual return to prominence—its purpose, rather, is t…
Big data and understanding change in the context of planning transport systems
This paper considers the implications of so-called ‘big data’ for the analysis, modelling and planning of transport systems. The primary conceptual focus is on the needs of the practical context of medium-term planning and decision-making, from which perspective the paper seeks to achieve three goals: (i) to try to identify what is truly ‘special’ about big data; (ii) to provoke debate on the future relationship between transport planning and big…

Ron Robin. The Cold World They Made: The Strategic Legacy of Roberta and Albert Wohlstetter
In the epilogue of The Cold World They Made, his fine dual intellectual biography of Roberta and Albert Wohlstetter, Ron Robin recounts the ceremony at which President Ronald Reagan bestowed the Presidential Medal of Freedom on the Wohlstetters and on Paul Nitze, a highly influential policy advisor to presidents from Harry S. Truman to Reagan, in November 1985. That the president so honored this trio was no surprise: each shared and helped shape …
Hannah Gurman. The Dissent Papers: The Voices of Diplomats in the Cold War and Beyond
Hannah Gurman's book is a fascinating study of dissenting diplomats in the pre-Watergate era—George F. Kennan, John Paton Davies, John Stewart Service, and George Ball—and of the “Dissent Channel,” a formal mechanism established in 1971 through which diplomats could issue objections to policy. This was not simply a laudable experiment in the encouragement of freethinking, of course. Its principal purpose was to prevent disenchanted employees from…
Pragmatism or what? The future of US foreign policy
This article discusses the intellectual sources of the presidential candidates' foreign policies. In the case of Barack Obama, the article examines the formation of his worldview, his intellectual inspirations, his most significant foreign policy appointments and the diplomatic course he has pursued as president. Mitt Romney's foreign policy views are harder to identify with certainty, but his business and political career-as well as the identity…
The 1968 Paris peace negotiations: A two level game
This article draws on fresh archival research to challenge Robert Putnam's ‘Two Level Game Theory’. In his seminal article, ‘Diplomacy and Domestic Politics: The Logic of Two Level Games’, published by International Organization in 1988, Putnam contended that international negotiations proceed at the domestic level and at the international level. In taking diplomatic initiatives forward, leaders are compelled to respond to the needs of domestic c…

America's ‘intellectual’ diplomacy
Historians and journalists such as Richard Hofstadter and Susan Jacoby have decried the reality ‘of anti-intellectualism’ in American society, culture, and politics. Yet intellectuals have played a vital role in shaping US diplomacy—from Alfred Thayer Mahan to Paul Wolfowitz. This article explores the varied reasons why the US government has proved so amenable to input from academia, think-tanks and freelance intellectuals. It first discusses the…
Intellectualism in US Diplomacy: Paul Wolfowitz and His Predecessors
When someone is honestly 55 percent right, that's very good and there's no use wrangling. And if someone is 60 percent right, it's wonderful, it's great luck, and let him thank God. But what's to be said about 75 percent right? Wise people say this is suspicious. Well, and what about 100 percent right? Whoever says he's 100 percent right is a fanatic, a thug, and the worst kind of rascal.An Old Jew of Galicia1George W Bush ordered the invasion of…
One state or two? Political realism on the Cyprus question
This article analyses the Cyprus Question, externally and internally. The external dimension focuses principally on Cyprus' accession to the EU, and the part it may be playing in forcing potential reunification and federation of the island. The second question takes up the issue of the appropriateness of federation or confederation for Cyprus at all, and argues that a two-state outcome would be better and more realistic for both Greek and Turkish…
