Neoliberal legacy intellectuals and the Covid-19 pandemic: Libertarian versus technocratic legitimation
There are unanswered questions about how the COVID-19 pandemic intersects with the trajectory of capitalist institutional and ideological development. We analysed the policy reports, editorials, blog posts and other statements of non-party institutions in the US/UK, the geographical heartland of earlier phases of neoliberal intellectual dominance. In relation to lockdowns, masking and vaccination, we found caveated support for time-limited curbs …
Organising Irresponsibility: Pandemic Management, State Transformation and the Diversion of Class Politics in Scotland’s Covid-19 Response
The COVID-19 lockdowns rank as the most abrupt and consequential transformations in modern state-society relations outside of wartime. One enduring puzzle of this period is the convergence of policy responses during COVID-19, despite the diffusion of power and sovereignty that has accompanied the emergence of multilevel governance paradigms. We investigate this by examining the politics of pandemic management in the context of Scotland’s devolved…
Re-Evaluating Scottish Social Movement Activism During the Covid-19 Pandemic
This article re-evaluates how the COVID-19 pandemic shaped contentious activism in Scotland, revealing contrasting approaches to protest and organising. While much of the social movement literature highlights resilience, adaptation, and even revitalisation during the pandemic, this study takes a different perspective by focusing on the reflective insights of activists that emerged as initial optimism faded and the limitations of contentious-orien…

Decentring the West? Civilizational solidarity and (de)colonization in theories of the Russia-Ukraine War
Since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in 2022, a growing literature promoting the Ukrainian national cause, framed in decolonial terms, has influenced public discourse about the Russia-Ukraine War in the West. Filtered through the activist interpretation of cultural epistemologies, with their emphasis on the centring and decentring of knowledges, the war has been imagined primarily as a colonial emanation of a Russian narrative. We argue that the he…
Of Oil and Agency: Scotland and the Material Conditions of National Imagining
North Sea oil discoveries introduced a qualitative divide that gave rise to at least the prospect of an economically viable Scottish independence, insofar as it made the “Scottish economy” a legitimate point of contestation on constitutional lines. In turn, this problematised the nature of minority nationalism in advanced, developed, post‐imperial capitalist regional economies. The research assesses how economic factors – most notably oil – mater…
The Antinomies of Insurgency: The Case of the Scottish National Party
The Scottish National Party (SNP) has emerged from generations on the periphery to make a substantial imprint on mainstream British politics. However, in only a matter of months, the foundations of that success have crumbled and, by the admission of its leaders, the SNP is experiencing its greatest crisis in five decades. The roots of this crisis are not well understood, since most recent research has sought to explain the SNP's post‐2014 success…
Race, nation, empire? Historicising outward and inward-facing British nationalism
Brexit has continued to capture the attention of International Relations (IR) scholars, where it has been linked to the burgeoning debate on race and postcolonialism. This article adds to this scholarship by historicising the question of imperial nostalgia, which has been central to these intersecting literatures. It re-examines how influential theorists Hall and Gilroy linked the peculiarities of British national consciousness to traumas issuing…

Europeanisation, Devolution and Popular Sovereignty: On the Politics of State Transformation in Scottish Nationalism
This research examines the interacting role of processes of state transformation - namely, devolution and Europeanisation - in the development of Scottish nationalism. It draws on the concept of 'member statehood', examining how relationships within nation states have been transformed by the European dynamic. Superficially, Scotland seems to contradict central aspects of this theory: the main citizen mobilising response to Brexit has been in Scot…

Korea's Divided Families: Fifty Years of Separation
The divided families problem is a serious social issue in North and South Korea, involving hundreds of thousands of first generation divided family members, most of whom have not seen their relatives since the Korean War. It is the most pressing humanitarian issue between the two Koreas, and is connected to the greater issue of human rights in North Korea today. However, little serious academic work exists on the subject, in either English or Kor…

The Wonder of Words
Judicial Disobedience of the Mandate to Imprison Drunk Drivers
We report here the results of two empirical studies of laws mandating a jail term of forty-eight consecutive hours for repeat-offender drunk drivers. In both cases, noncompliance by judges, abetted by other criminal justice system actors, was extensive, and substantial proportions of offenders were not imprisoned as mandated. We explain these findings as evidence of both a disjunction between formal and operative definitions of the behavior in qu…

Spanish Plural Formation
The establishment of abstract underlying forms, along with the recognition of certain basic rules such as contraction of successive identical segments, apocope, etc., greatly simplifies the formation of Spanish plurals, as well as accounting for divers other phenomena such as stress position and word-final assibilation
Prothesis in the Latin Verb sum
In this article I propose a new explanation of the forms of the verb sum. This explanation is based on synchronic facts of Classical Latin and is expressed in terms of a set of ordered rules applying to basic forms. I do not propose that forms appearing in the derivations of the Classical Latin forms necessarily appeared phonetically in any stage of pre-Latin or Indo-European. Nevertheless, I feel that my analysis is not wholly devoid of historic…
