Managed decline: Muddling through with the Sterling (dis)Agreements, 1968-74
How do policymakers manage the decline of an international currency? This paper revisits the view that the 'Sterling Agreements' of 1968-74 - bilateral contracts between the UK and sterling-holding governments - marked a successful paradigm shift towards sterling's managed 'retirement'. Archival evidence reveals no strategic coherence to British policy in this period, a case of 'muddling through'. Phased reductions in the amount of sterling prote…

There are signs today that the paralysis the women's movement has suffered from may be coming to an end. A turning point has been the organization of the Seneca Women's Encampment, which has meant the beginning of a feminist-lesbian antiwar movement. With this our experiences are coming full circle. The first femi…
