What might Alasdair M ac intyre have made of the state of our universities
Scottish universities have, in recent decades, been buffeted by a range of new demands, most immediately financial, but also demographic, cultural and technological. Understandably, perhaps, faced with this multiplicity of quotidian pressures, universities have lost sight of any wider sense of purpose. This article seeks to place a conceptual frame around the condition of higher education, prompting engagement with the question of what the purpos…

Secularity and Non-Religion in American Politics
Teachers Are Making a Difference
Using the theoretical framework of occupational socialization, the purpose of this study was to examine preservice physical education teachers’ beliefs and values of teachers and teaching through analysis and interpretation of favorite teacher narratives. One hundred and eighty six preservice physical education teachers’ narratives were collected and analyzed using open and axial coding (Corbin & Strauss, 2008). The qualities and characteristics …

Henry Ryder and the Bath CMS
The early nineteenth century saw a turn in Anglican Evangelicalism towards respectability and regularity. The same period paradoxically saw renewed controversy with some High Churchmen while others were more inclined to cooperate with the Evangelical movement. A case study of the early episcopal career of Henry Ryder illuminates this phenomenon, showing that while there were important divisions in doctrine between Evangelicals and High Churchmen,…
The Mobilization and Influence of Business Interests
This article provides a discussion on mobilization and the effect of business interests, emphasizing American domestic politics. One major area of research involves questions over why and when business participates in politics. Participation could involve several different kinds of behaviours. The forms and magnitude of business influence in politics raise questions of interest not only to political scientists but also to the public at large. Fou…
Religion, Divorce, and the Missing Culture War in America
Protestant Nonconformist Texts. Vol. IV
Even more than its predecessors, this final volume in the chronological sequence of the Protestant Nonconformist Texts series has had to cope with an embarrassment of riches. As the editor himself notes, the proliferation of documents and of informal publishing in the twentieth century—especially since the Second World War—has multiplied both the potential range of source material for the life and thought of nonconformity in England and Wales and…
Towards a European Union Gender Equality Index
In order to monitor progress with respect to gender equality in European Union member states, indices are extremely useful. Existing indices are, however, not appropriate because they do not focus exclusively on gender (in)equality and have not been created to be used at the European level. Therefore a European Union Gender Equality Index is presented in this article. Based on the universal caregiver model as outlined by Fraser (1997), the index …

America's Fortress
Freedom Reclaimed
Freedom Reclaimed: Rediscovering the American Vision. By John E. Schwarz. Baltimore: The Johns Hopkins University Press, 2005. 264p. $30.00. In his book, John Schwarz develops a conception of freedom different from, and more expansive than, the one most common today. His crucial distinction echoes that of Isaiah Berlin's (1969) Four Essays on Liberty: Negative freedom (which Schwarz calls “free-market freedom”) involves the absence of formal rest…
Intellectuals, Rhetoric, and Context
On 7 December 1998, National Review published a short piece by Stephen Moore—one in a continuing stream of articles, reports, and books emerging from the network of conservative media outlets and think tanks. The article ostensibly addressed a then-raging public debate regarding what the Federal Reserve Board could do to keep America’s economy growing, but Moore quickly seized the opportunity to shift attention toward the actions available to Con…
Negotiating Multilateral Instruments Against Missile Proliferation
The absence of a major multilateral treaty banning missiles is explained by the limited scope of the two main instruments against missile proliferation – the Missile Technology Control Regime (MTCR) and the Hague Code of Conduct against Ballistic Missile Proliferation (HCOC). In the MTCR's case, limiting the scope to supply-side technology controls facilitated progress during its negotiations. In the Hague Code, limiting the scope to transparency…
Ballot Initiatives and the Democratic Citizen
Citizens' political attitudes are critically shaped by government institutions. Initiatives and referenda are one such institutional arrangement that may encourage the development of dispositions and skills that make for better citizens. Building upon tenets of participatory democratic theory, I hypothesize that voters who make choices on ballot measures will gain in civic abilities, but non-voters in the same states will see no increases. Moreov…
American Business and Political Power
Public Opinion, Elections, and Representation within a Market Economy
According to one common theory of business power, politicians face strong electoral incentives to implement policies matching the preferences of business enterprises. The tendency for investors to choose the time and place producing the highest returns supposedly weakens or eliminates the ability of ordinary citizens to provide direction for policymakers. If the theory is accurate, substantive public input into policymaking should suffer the most…
The Nature of Party Governance
Research on the policy consequences of partisan turnover in policy-making institutions in the U.S. states generally has found that parties have, at most, conditional effects. Yet many of these analyses have constructed the partisanship variable as if parties in state government were fully unified. This paper explores the results stemming from various measurement choices, namely measures implying complete unity and those derived from a conceptuali…
