Accelerating Development
This article examines the Arcon system, a flexible prefabricated steel structure used for the construction of factories and warehouses that accompanied industrial development in Ghana, Nigeria, and Sierra Leone during 1950s and 1960s. While initially created for emergency housing in Britain during World War II, the Arcon system was successfully marketed across the West African colonies in the immediate post-war period, largely through the backing…
The Paramount Hotel, Freetown
This article examines the planning of the Paramount Hotel in Sierra Leone, completed to the designs of James Cubitt & Partners in 1961, during Sierra Leone’s transition from colonial rule to independence. This paper demonstrates that the hotel was conceived of as a neocolonial instrument planned and funded by the British government’s Colonial Development Corporation to support the continued operation of British capital in a post-imperial world. A…
Kingsway leads the way to modern living”
This article examines the operative uses of modernist design by the Kingsway Stores, an elite department store chain active across West Africa. Kingsway responded to independence by instrumentalizing a particularly modernist domesticity through a series of didactic marketing efforts and the construction of boldly modernist new stores. While it was responding to African demands, this instrumentalization of modernist design was planned and executed…
Making the Railways Pay
This article examines the redevelopment of Euston Station forecourt as a speculative development of offices designed by the prolific post-war commercial architectural practice R. Seifert & Partners from c.1970 to 1979. The article offers a reading of the development as a piece of state-encouraged, public-sector led property development. It uncovers the encouragement given by Harold Wilson's Labour government to for-profit property developments on…
Modern Playhouses
Alistair Fair’s rigorously researched book traces the boom in theatre building across Britain during the post-war period. This was an extensive building programme: The Arts Council noted in 1980 th
Evaluating Progress in International Relations
The study of International Relations (IR) has undergone epistemological fracturing. Understandably, most scholars either have not been particularly interested in or know little about philosophy of science. Instead, they have concentrated on “doing” their research. Even when philosophy of science criteria are utilized, they often have been used implicitly or poorly. The result is that powerful available tools for facilitating dialogue and exchange…
The Triumph of Democracy and the Eclipse of the West
This book explores the paradox of the worldwide spread of democracy and capitalism in an era of Western decline. The rest is overtaking the West as Samuel Huntington predicted, but because it is adopt
The democratic peace research program and system-level analysis
In a path-breaking article, Wade Huntley reinterpreted Kant's pacific union as a systemic phenomenon. This generated a new wave of inquiry into the evolutionary expansion of the democratic peace. The resulting literature examines how the effects of the pacific union vary over time and with the strength of the global democratic community. It investigates the possibility that the democratic zone of peace may spread through spillover effects, social…

International Relations and Scientific Progress
Debates about the philosophy of science have not always received the attention they deserve in international relations scholarship. It is only natural that most research has tended to focus on substantive theoretical and empirical issues. However, as the discipline has matured, deeper questions have emerged about the overall development of knowledge within the field. In a seminal contribution, Robert Keohane (1986) used criteria derived from Imre…
Kant and systemic theory
I would like to thank Martin Weber for his interesting and thoughtful response to my article ‘Waltz, Kant and Systemic Approaches To International Relations’. I am aware of the intrinsically controversial nature of any comparison of Waltz and Kant, and am therefore grateful for the opportunity to respond formally to the criticisms that Weber makes. Weber raises doubts about interpreting Kant as a systems theorist, interpreting Kant as advocating …
The Anarchical Society
Waltz, Kant and systemic approaches to international relations
This article compares Waltz and Kant as theorists who explicitly advocate a systemic approach to international relations. Waltz and Kant are compared with respect to their views on the nature of systemic approaches, the composition and dynamics of the international system, and the relationship between the international system and world society. It is argued that there are deep underlying similarities between their views on the nature of systemic …
