High-growth aspiration entrepreneurship: A multi-country analysis using GEM data
High-growth aspiration entrepreneurship has attracted significant attention in the literature (Hermans et al., 2015; Lim et al., 2015). This paper examines the impact of individual characteristics, institutional factors and country-level control variables on high-growth aspiration entrepreneurship. The focus is on the employment growth aspirations of newly established ventures in both developed and developing economies. The individual characteris…
Mervyn Silas Paterson 1925–2020
Mervyn Paterson exploited a background in metallurgical engineering and the physics of metals as the basis for a long and influential career in earth sciences, mainly at the Australian National University. Recognising the need for specialized equipment for experimental rock deformation, Mervyn made a highly distinctive contribution through his design and construction of a series of machines of progressively increasing sophistication for laborator…
The Effects of Remittances on Education in a Post-Conflict Society: Evidence from Bosnia-Herzegovina
This paper analyses the effects of remittances on the educational enrolment of children in Bosnia-Herzegovina, where a process of forced migration made the relocation decision exogenous. Accordingly, this study has no need of methods to address the endogeneity of remittances. Hence, the approach taken means that the measure of educational enrolment is regressed on a set of individual- and household-level variables. In addition, a new approach to …
Are Forced Migrants More Skilled: A Theoretical Model of Self-Selection in Forced Migration
This article fills a gap in theories of forced migration. We present a new model, motivated by specific features of forced migration during a conflict which do not feature in existing migration models. We incorporate the relative deprivation hypothesis and a new “restoration” hypothesis in order to better explain forced migration as a two-stage process, which starts with conflict and, in some cases, forced displacement in the first stage and cont…
Religion Within the Boundaries of Mere Reason
The eighteenth-century philosopher Immanuel Kant is as daunting as he is influential: widely considered to be not only one of the most challenging thinkers of all time, but also one of the most important. His Religion Within the Boundaries of Mere Reason takes on two of his central preoccupations – the reasoning powers of the human mind, and religion – and applies the full force of his reasoning abilities to consider the relationship between them…
Economics and the Cold War
This chapter explores the economic aspect of the Cold War. It analyzes historiographic debates on the role of economic factors in the Cold War and discusses the nature and scope of the conflict between the rival economic systems of Western capitalism and Soviet communism. The chapter describes the structures of the Western and Soviet-led economic orders and the interaction between the two blocs during the Cold War. It also examines contemporary r…
May the ovens never grow cold’: Regional resilience and industrial policy in the North Staffordshire ceramics industrial district – with lessons from Sassoulo and Castellon
In the aftermath of the recent global recession, the concept of regional resilience is becoming increasingly important in regional policy circles. This paper seeks to add to the debate by exploring resilience and recent policy initiatives in the context of the North Staffordshire ceramics district. A key issue here has been the economic governance of the district, which has had a significant impact upon its current trajectory. Drawing upon a seri…
Cooperative Ties and the Impact of External Factors upon Innovation in an Industrial District: Some Insights from the North Staffordshire Table and Giftware Sector
n Drawing upon a sample of 118 firms, this paper explores the impact of co-operative ties and the role of institutions upon innovation in the UK ceramic table and giftware sector. We find that locational economies are important for aiding innovation, with firms in the North Staffordshire industrial district holding an inherent advantage vis-a-vis non district firms. However while close vertical ties enhance innovation, recent concerns have arisen…
Nuclear energy and proliferation risks: Myths and realities in the Persian Gulf
The use of civil nuclear power is set for major expansion among the world's developing economies. The pursuit of nuclear energy technology offers energy-hungry developing nations access to reliable large-scale electricity supplies with very low carbon emissions. But this climate-friendly energy solution comes at a security price. Historically, one third of the 30 countries that possess civil nuclear energy programmes have weaponized them. Securit…

Cold, Dollars, and Power: The Politics of International Monetary Relations, 1958-1971
How are we to understand the politics of international monetary relations since the end of World War II? Exploiting declassified documents from both the United States and Europe and employing economic analysis and international relations theory, Francis Gavin offers a reassessment of the Bretton Woods system of fixed exchange rates and dollar-gold convertibility. Gavin demonstrates that, contrary to the conventional wisdom, Bretton Woods was a hi…
Approaches to the History of Readers and Reading in Eighteenth-Century Britain
The history of reading can link intellectual and cultural developments with social or political change in the eighteenth century. Historians of the book increasingly argue that an understanding of historical reading practices is essential if we are to understand the impact of texts on individuals and on society as a whole: textual evidence alone is inadequate. Recent work on eighteenth-century readers has used sources including book trade records…
The Economic Cold War: America, Britain, and East-West Trade, 1948-63
A decade ago, a debate flared among diplomatic historians regarding Western trade toward the Communist bloc. Centered basically on the notion of American hegemony in the Cold War, contention specifically focused on whether the United States imposed its will on its European friends by trying to limit sales of strategic goods to the Soviet Union. Western European scholars attempted to revise assumptions about U.S. unilateralism by arguing that NATO…
Rival Desirabilities’: Britain, East–West Trade and the Cold War, 1948–51
This article provides a new perspective on British trade policy towards the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe in the late 1940s and early 1950s. It argues that the Attlee government pursued an ambivalent economic strategy during the formative years of the Cold War. On the one hand, British policy makers sought to prevent Soviet military build up by implementing an international embargo on East–West trade. On the other, the economic and financial we…
The limits of international leadership’: The Eisenhower administration, East‐West trade and the cold war, 1953–54
This article examines the Eisenhower administration's trade policy towards the Soviet Union in 1953–54. It argues, contrary to previous scholarship on the subject, that the liberalization of East‐West trade controls in August 1954 cannot be attributed solely to the presidential leadership of Dwight D. Eisenhower. Instead, whilst Eisenhower played a significant role in changing American embargo policy, it was the Churchill government which provide…
Paradigmatic Madness in the Public Representation of Childhood
Western images of the child draw on a secure thematic tradition which may be interpreted in terms of an equation that locates childhood on one side and diverse forms of madness on the other. Explicitly within Freud's psychoanalytic theory of id functioning, Piaget's epigenetic studies of children's cognition, and by long standing legal convention, children are understood variously as sub‐rational, pre‐rational, or in some critically relevant sens…

A Commonplace Model of Teacher Authority: The Fragmentation of 'Children' and 'Childhood' in Public Discourse
Research into the concerns of teachers during their training and throughout the early years of professional life (Fuller, 1969; McCahon and Carpenter, 1987) identifies discipline and classroom control as issues of major importance for teacher education. While conventional wisdom and the self‐representation of teacher education programs regard the source of teachers' knowledge about management and control to inhere in those received educational ps…
On Situating Piaget's Subject: A Triangulation Based on Kant, Structuralism, and Biology
On Detecting Aptitude Effects in Undergraduate Academic Achievement Scores
The widespread occurrence in undergraduate academic achievement studies of such measures as Grade Point Average and degree class is re‐examined in the light of evidence to indicate that these constructs may not be unitary. Performance data for a sample of (N = 88) University undergraduates when analysed in terms of a broadly perceived Apritude‐Treatment‐Interaction system, are used to illustrate both the manifold nature of student academic achiev…
