Here comes the sun”
This article aims to better understand the factors influencing whether solar farm applications at local authority level in England are approved or rejected, defined as planning success. Previous research has focused on the micro-dynamics of renewable energy acceptance, but systematic research exploring the factors of renewable deployment with large N data is outstanding. We study the meso-level investigating the impact of actors and context on th…

Supporting integration through social connectedness
The evidence is Australia compares well with other countries on dimensions of social cohesion, social division and conflict. In addition, the Australian community generally reports high levels of satisfaction and sense of belonging. There are however also areas for improvement in terms of acceptance, integration and citizenship in highly visible minority groups. This paper outlines an exploratory study of social connectedness and the effect of a …
Psycho-attitudinal features
Purpose This paper aims to investigate psycho-attitudinal features in female entrepreneurs participating in micro, small and medium-sized enterprises in Saudi Arabia, using the Big Five model of personality traits and risk propensity. These attitudes, further grouped into three broad categories, namely, fixed, moderate and growth-oriented mindsets, are used to illustrate the collective impact of attitude over the entrepreneurial process. Design/m…
Why Are Clovis Fluted Points More Resilient than Non‐Fluted Lanceolate Points? A Quantitative Assessment of Breakage Patterns Between Experimental Models
For decades, archaeologists have wondered whether the Clovis Palaeoindian ( c .11 600–10 800 radiocarbon years bp ) practice of ‘fluting’, a flake removal technique that creates a distinctive shallow channel extending from the base of the projectile point towards the tip, bestowed a functional advantage over non‐fluted projectile points. Using analytical modelling and static engineering experiments, Thomas et al . (2017) found that points that mo…
The sharp end
Many forces are at play beneath the public face of organizations and particular tensions emerge when policy rhetoric encounters organizational and leadership reality. These inherent contextual tensions are explored at the sharp or operational end of leadership, the organizational space where policies are implemented, values enacted and practices evidenced. The sharp end leaves little room for intellectual introspection or detailed post hoc analys…
Suicide in England and Wales 1861–2005
Background: Studies of social inequalities in common mental disorders -anxiety and depression -often use measures that do not discriminate between conditions, but these disorders may differ from one another in their social patterning across the lifecourse. The Twenty-07 Study includes the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), which has sub-scales for each condition, allowing possible differences in patterning to be examined. Objective: To…
Policy Review Section
In this issue of the Policy Review Section, Barbara Tilson of Praxis Research Consultants argues that despite the constraints and deficiencies of the existing UK waterways network, limited potential may exist for expanded use of the waterways for freight carriage both in the domestic market and for trade with Europe. She indicates what policy and planning measures, organizational change and improved technology for goods handling at wharves would …
Religion, Culture and Society in Early Modern Britain
In this volume seventeen distinguished historians of early modern Britain pay tribute to an outstanding scholar and teacher. Several present reviews of major areas of debate: of the significance of the regulations which determined the social and legal status of professional actors in Elizabethan England, of Protestant ideas about marriage, of the political significance of the Anglo-Scottish Union, of relations between the Churches of England, Sco…

II. Power and Autonomy
The current emphasis in sociological literature on the study of power in decision making contexts1 and extended to contrived 'non-decision making' by Bachrach and Baratz2 has recently been criticized by Lukes.3 Lukes argues that the 'two faces of power* exhibited in the decision and non-decision making approaches need to be augmented by a third dimension of power which can deal with latent conflict, that is '. . . a contradiction between the inte…
