Environmental Planning
Environmental Planning: A Political and Philosophical Analysis
Originally published in 1975, this was an entirely new approach to the study of environmental planning and problems. Planning had hitherto been generally described as a technical exercise, involving the solving of biological and economic problems. In Environmental Planning: A Political and Philosophical Analysis it is seen as an ideological activity and the development of planning in Britain and the nature of contemporary environment problems are…

Understanding International Sport Organisations: Principles, Power and Possibilities
The governance of international sport is dominated by the SINGOs (sporting international non-governmental organisations). The IOC, FIFA, IAAF and the FIA wield global influence, but how exactly do such complex organisations operate? This important book examines the rise of the SINGOs, their structures, organisational behaviour and their power in the context of modern sport and international politics. Written by two world-leading experts, the book…

There's a Deathless Myth on the Close Tonight: Re-assessing Rugby's Place in the History of Sport
Rugby School has traditionally been credited with an important place in the development of modern organised games. The most famous names in this attribution have been William Webb Ellis, the pupil who ‘invented’ rugby football, and Dr. Thomas Arnold, the headmaster who gained global recognition through the publication of Tom Brown's Schooldays. Not surprisingly, academic historians have debunked the significance of both of these men, since it is …

Local Hero: Trevor Lonsdale Interviewed
Sport, Prestige and International Relations
In An Essay Written In The Mid-1980S Trevor Taylor Concluded that ‘. . . international relations scholars show little sign of seriously considering the place of sport in global human affairs’ and prescribed that ‘international relations should take more account of sport . . .’ We might have expected some change in the period since then, not least because the academic study of sport has established itself in such fields as politics and law and has…
Sport and Nationalism
Sport and Civil Society
Political science lags behind social history and sociological theory in its contributions to the academic understanding of sport. One remedy for this lag might be the analysis of the concept of civil society in relation to sport, since sporting institutions fit many of the definitions and fulfil many of the supposed functions of civil society. An analysis of sporting institutions in Georgia, Thailand and South Africa shows that they do ‘reflect’ …
Problems of democratization in the republic of Georgia
The concept of civil society in Georgia, Thailand and South Africa
There is a strong case for a policy of conceptual scepticism about ‘civil society’ given the wide range of uses of the term and the ideological reasons which have led to its reintroduction to the study of politics. However, consideration of the idea of civil society remains an extremely useful exercise to the understanding of political change provided that we do not lose sight of its ambiguities and limitations. Civil society is weak in Thailand,…

On the gap between theories of democracy and theories of democratization
In the study of politics in the West, ‘democracy’ is treated in two different ways. An established group of political scientists, interested in the conditions favouring democratization, assume that the principal western countries are ‘democracies’ in as strong a sense as one might realistically use the term. Much democratic theory, on the other hand, is critical of western institutions and seeks ‘emancipationst’ extensions of democracy into the h…

Liberty: A Correct and Authoritarian Account
The criteria of conceptual correctness tell us something about liberty, but only a bare minimum. They tell us, as MacCallum puts it, that ‘freedom is ... always of something (an agent or agents), from something, to do, not do, become or not become something; it is a triadic relation.’ Within this form, many different approaches are permissible, depending on how the nature of agents or the list of valid constraints is interpreted. One sense of lib…
The Political Theory of Public Inquiries
Public Planning of Private Development: A Review and Appraisal of the Report of the Expenditure Committee on Planning Procedures
The Nature of the Concept of Power
The tests of successful conceptual analysis are (1) fidelity to the working of natural language; (2) precise criteria for the application of a concept; and (3) operational applicability to political situations.Power can be shown to be a partially‐quantifiable concept with logical properties similar to those of wealth and intelligence and radically different from those of height and specific gravity. For this reason, comparisons and measurements o…
Politics and the Problem about ‘Science
There is a continuing concern about whether politics can be made a science, revived in this Journal by Ake [Claude Ake, ‘The Scientific Status of Political Science’, II (1972), 109–15], McLean and Postbrief [‘“The Scientific Status of Political Science” – Two Comments’, II (1972), by Iain McLean, 383–4, and Samuel Postbrief, 385–8]. The word in other languages does not appear to elicit the same arguments: in French, for example, the expression ‘s…
Politics, Welfare, and Conservation: A Survey of Meta-planning
A survey of the printed word, including local and national papers as well as weekly journals over the past ten years, would show an increasing proportion of column inches devoted to issues arising out of physical planning — those issues involving such concepts as ‘environment’, ‘conservation’, ‘amenity’ and ‘leisure space’. As a society, we are becoming increasingly preoccupied with our physical environment and on the whole this preoccupation tak…
