The price of knowledge in the knowledge economy: Should development of peatland in the UK support a research levy
Ecologies of Hope: Environment, Technology and Habitation - Case Studies From the Intervenient Middle
This paper is an introduction to a special issue of the Journal of Political Ecology on "Ecologies of Hope." The authors argue that discrete, specific, and often, local actions can create spaces that are bettering human lives and livelihoods. The five papers identify actions and movements that are situated in the "middle" between the individual and larger social and economic formations, and inbetween social and economic status- quo and revolution…
The dangers and limitations of equality agendas as means for tackling old-age prejudice
This paper presents a critique of both the concept of age equality and of the limited scope it offers as a means for challenging old-age prejudice. The equality constructs that feature in anti-ageism initiatives and in current discourses on intergenerational equity have proved susceptible to political and ideological manipulation, which has led to the illegitimate dissociation of ageism from older age and promoted damaging notions of age equivale…
Never the Right Age? Gender and Age‐Based Discrimination in Employment
Although UK legislation against age discrimination is required by December 2006, little is yet known about how ageism affects different age categories of employees, and the gender dimensions of ageism have also been neglected. Both issues were investigated by questionnaire survey, producing responses from over 1000 employees of a major UK financial services enterprise. The extent and manifestations of ageism were found to vary across age categori…
Assessing Anti-ageism Routes to Older Worker Re-engagement
Measures that challenge ageism in employment are among the most prominent policy approaches towards reversing the dramatic decline over the last two decades in the labour market participation of older workers in developed economies. In Britain, such measures have evolved through three related phases: the 'business case' approach; equality routes, incorporating equal opportunities and diversity policies; and progress towards anti-age discriminatio…

Ageism and employment: Controversies, ambiguities and younger people's perceptions
This paper traces the emergence and evolution of the concept of ageism with respect to employment matters in the UK, and challenges some features of the emerging concept as defective and undermining of efforts to eradicate age discrimination in employment. Also revealed is some loosening in recent years of the association of the term ‘ageism’ with older employees. This latter observation informed the focus of our empirical work, which examined th…

On Rapid Industrialization and Collectivization: An Essay in Historiographic Retrieval and Criticism
Until very recently, most students of Soviet society discussed the processes of rapid industrialization and collectivization undertaken in the final years of the 1920s as though they were two halves of one deliberate policy, consciously carried out. It was argued, either implicitly or explicitly, that collectivization was undertaken to further the goal of industrialization. Yet in the historical record, as presented by Naun Jasny, Moshe Lewin and…
