Post-socialist moral economies of consumption as socially embedded sites of moral tension
Consumption was one of the spheres of everyday life shaken and remoulded by the collapse of socialist regimes at the end of the 20th century. Especially in times of rapid change, a moral economies lens is a fruitful means to understand the contentious moral landscape and moral tensions that pervade consumption behaviour, norms and discourse. Important areas of consideration in post-socialist societies in this field include links between ideology …
Five Thousand, 5,000, and Five Thousands
This article explores how affluent expatriates in urban Russia adapt to different money practices that involve numbers and quantities. The discussion centers on three analytic categories: difficult sums (5,000); denomination and usage problems (Five Thousand); and rule-of-thumb calculations (five thousands). Each category illustrates different entanglements of money quantities, qualities, and material forms. For example, quantities—exchange rates…
The end(s) of economics and economic sociology
The global financial crisis has been called a crisis for not only economies but economic knowledge and the discipline as a whole. We may be forgiven for wanting to take economists to task, but are they the only ones who must think carefully about the products of their research? This essay reviews two books written in response to recent economic turbulence: Farewell to Growth by Serge Latouche and The End of Finance by Massimo Amato and Luca Fanta…
Laying the Foundations for an International Animal Protection Regime
In this article we consider what form a future supranational animal protection regime might take. We conclude that no such regime exists at present, although one is likely to develop over the next couple of decades, with two viable options already on the horizon. One model would see the role of the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE) extended, whereas the other would occur within the context of the United Nations (UN). The former would sui…
Research funding systems in Australia, New Zealand and the UK: Policy Settings and Perceived Effects
The funding of research in universities is increasingly based on direction of resources in support of 'excellence'. Funding decisions are linked to evaluation through research funding systems, but there has so far been little comparative empirical research on the perceived effects of these systems. This article reports on a study involving interviews with 274 academics at universities in Australia (Melbourne), New Zealand (Auckland) and the UK (B…

The World Food Programme: A case of benign US policy?1
The World Food Programme (WFP) is currently the largest and arguably one of the most successful of the United Nations Special Agencies, yet there has been little examination of it by international relations scholars since the early 1990s. This article seeks to analyse the normative and political characteristics of the WFP which have contributed to its effectiveness. Among its most significant findings is that American agricultural interests, inte…
