The Canterbury Group of Arcaded Gothic Early Medieval Chests
This paper draws attention to an unrecognised group of six pin-hinged, clamped, early medieval chests with gothic arcading in East Kent, England. It provides dendrochronological dates for four of the chests and systematic evidence concerning their construction, decoration and ironwork, including the specific type of lock originally fitted. Comparisons are made with pin-hinged, clamped chests made in some other counties and abroad at roughly the s…
The Tracery-Carved, Clamp-Fronted Medieval Chest at St Mary Magdalen Church, Oxford, in a Comparative North-West European Perspective
The St Mary Magdalen chest is striking because of its carved facade and has attracted the attention of historians over the last century. There has been debate about its age, culminating in the recent suggestion that it either dates to the fourteenth century or is a later copy. This paper makes a detailed study of all the elements of the chest, constructional and decorative, and compares them with features of related medieval chests in England and…
Four varieties of comparative analysis
Democratisation and the Decline of Social Movements
The paper explores how regime change affects social movements, drawing on studies of Latin America, Southern Europe and Eastern Europe. After discussing the concepts and method used, it is argued that social movements do exist in authoritarian regimes, and hence the question of the effect of regime change upon them can be posed. Contrary to the assumption that democratisation leads to the flourishing of social movements as repression is removed a…
Victime de son succès ? La contribution de la sociologie urbaine à la recherche
Fällt die Stadtsoziologie ihrem Erfolg zum Opfer ? Namentlich seit den siebziger Jahren hat die Stadtsoziologie in Frankreich ihren Untersuchungsbereich über die räumlichen Voraussetzungen des gesellschaftlichen Zusammenlebens hinaus erweitert. Sie machte aus der urbanistischen Forschung ein internationales Feld der Reflexion über die Moderne, ihre Politik, ihre Wirtschaft, ihre Werte. Damit jedoch hat diese Stadtsoziologie ihren eigenen theoreti…

Central Government, Local Government, Voluntary Associations and the Welfare State
The relation between the state and voluntary associations is explored by a study of voluntary organization responses to deep funding cuts of local governmental expen ditures in Britain. Why have voluntary associations not been at the forefront in opposing these cuts, which impact so deeply on their viability? The main opposition to these funding cuts by central government has come from the local councils themselves. The basis for the restoration …
Le gouvernement local anglais en souffrance. 1979-1984
Die englischen lokalen Verwaltungsorgane im Gegenwind. Im Unterschied zu anderen Ländern wie etwa Frankreich zeigt sich in Großbritannien zur Zeit eine gewisse politische Rezentralisierung, die sich am Finanzhaushalt der Gemeinden ablesen läßt. Die Regierung kontrolliert deren Erhöhung und drängt zur Privatisierung öff etlicher Einrichtungen. Selbst in den Reihen der regierenden konservativen Partei trifft diese Politik auf erheblichen Widerstand…
