Systemic territoriality in academia
Addressing environmental challenges requires scientific collaboration, access to resources, and open knowledge exchange. However, possessive behaviors, referred to by these authors as the Gollum effect, undermine these principles by restricting resource access, obstructing research, and monopolizing opportunities. Despite widespread anecdotal evidence, the prevalence and impacts of these territorial behaviors remain unquantified. Here, we present…

Betting on Oil
Can international donors ensure that poor countries spend their natural resource revenues on development? This article reviews the Chad-Cameroon Oil Pipeline Project and the World Bank's fourteen-year effort to foster pro-poor expenditure of resource revenues in Chad. The World Bank used its leverage as a gatekeeper of private sector oil investment to write fiscal restrictions and extragovernmental oversight into Chadian law. These efforts, howev…

Slovakia's Neoliberal Turn
Slovakia distinguished itself in the first half of this decade by launching a coherent set of economic reforms that limited government and transferred social and economic risk to individuals. We examine reforms in fiscal policy, pensions, the labour code, health care, investment, education and justice. While the surprise formation of a centre – right governing coalition in 2002 enabled Slovakia's ‘neoliberal’ turn, a close network of neoliberal p…

Herodotus and the ‘Resurrection’
In 1925, Aldous Huxley in his book Along the Road wrote an essay in the course of which he asserted that the ‘best picture’ in the world was Piero della Francesca's ‘Resurrection’, a mural which was in Piero's birthplace, Borgo San Sepolcro, and is still there. In 1944, as the Allies advanced northwards and the Germans retreated before them, the ‘Resurrection’ came perilously close to not surviving, within minutes indeed of destruction by British…
Tocqueville Beyond the Post-Cold War
Flogging a Dead God
Thirteen years after the collapse of the Berlin Wall, the stunned optimism that greeted it in the West seems to belong to an era as historically distant as the Soviet Union itself. Then, as photographs and news footage circulated of smiling West Berliners reaching over the Wall's crumbling remains to shake hands with stiff and bewildered East German border guards, a whole future appeared to be unfolding: Socialist dictatorship itself was giving w…
Myth, Ritual Memory, And Exchange
At the heart of this book lies a concern with the interaction between the cultural assumptions and world-view of ancient (and often of modern) Greeks and their literature. John Gould examines the myths, rituals, memory, and exchange of ancient Greeks with an overriding interest in anthropological field-work which helps to shape his argument. The book contains the most significant essays (some now regarded as classics) written by one of the world'…
Identity Politics and Economic Reform
OVER THE PAST DECADE THE capitalist and democratic transformations in Eastern Europe have enabled certain countries to integrate successfully in Western institutions and organisations. In contrast to Slovakia, three Central European states, Hungary, Poland and the Czech Republic have already become members of NATO and expect to join the European Union before long. Curiously, a rapprochement between the West and Slovakia has been much slower. The …
Closing the Gaps
This article reviews the efforts of Te Puni Kokiri, The Ministry of Maori Development, to collect together statistical evidence of trends of disparity between Maori and Non-Maori in New Zealand. It argues that Te Puni Kokiri’s method for measuring disparity is poorly chosen, and leads to serious distortion and an overly pessimistic presentation of the gaps in socio-economic well-being amongst ethnic groups

Homeric Epic and the Tragic Moment
My subject in this paper is the response of the tragic poets of fifth-century Athens to the Homeric epics, and beyond that, the meaning that the Homeric poems had for their audience in the fifth century. It is a subject which is going, inevitably, to raise a certain number of puzzles and paradoxes, one or two of which I shall try to throw some light on. But there is one, which must surely arise sooner or later, which I can deal with only by confe…

Dramatic character and ‘human intelligibility’ in Greek tragedy
Plays, we say, are about people, about people doing and saying things. What they say and do gives us access to the kind of people they are – their personalities, their individuality, their ‘character’. And we find people interesting. Simply, crudely put, this is the basis of what we call our interest in dramatic character. It is in her clear-sighted attention to this simple but central fact that Mrs. Easterling's essay on ‘Presentation of charact…
