Enlightenment and Its Demise
Nationalism and Northern Ireland
The concept of ‘Ethnicity’ still enjoys some currency in the historical and social science literature. However, the cogency of the idea remains disputed. First coming to prominence in the 1980s, the word is often used to depict the character of social relations in the context of conflicts over sovereignty. The case of Northern Ireland presents a paradigmatic example. This article is a rejoinder to Ian McBride’s contention that my scepticism about…
Market update
Open‐air marketplaces are vital to food security, livelihoods, and the national economy in Papua New Guinea (PNG). Over the past 60 years, rapid growth of urban populations, changes in global commodity prices, and the decline in value of the PNG currency have stimulated demand for domestic fresh food. Selling fresh food in marketplaces has also become an attractive way to earn money for rural producers, whose returns on labour on their export cro…
A rapid assessment framework for food system shocks
The frequency and severity of shocks to food systems is accelerating globally, exemplified by the current COVID-19 outbreak. In low- and middle-income countries, the impacts have exacerbated existing food system vulnerabilities and poverty. Governments and donors must respond quickly, but few tools are available that identify interventions to build food system resilience, or emerging opportunities for transformation. In this paper we reflect on t…
The Pursuit Of Hastings, 1788–1796
This chapter details the final years of Burke's protracted stand against wrongdoing in India, which brought setbacks followed by radical disenchantment. He delivered the Presents and Contracts charges with stamina and gusto, but the prolongation of the trial soon began to count against him. He started to reflect again about the sentiment of humanity: it was fortified by custom among people who shared a culture, yet it required the support of rhet…
Whig Principles And Jacobin Dogma, 1791–1793
This chapter details Burke's political life from 1791 to 1793. After 1790, Burke's career was shaped by the reaction to the Reflections . The work was a sophisticated polemical assault on attempts to reduce the rights and responsibilities of citizenship to a perilous ideal of self-government. However, it was widely construed as an attack on the equality of human beings and the accountability of governments to the people whom they ruled. In fact, …
Conclusion
This chapter reflects on the nature of the society into which Burke was born in comparison with the one he departed. During Burke's lifetime, British affairs were increasingly shaped by the Empire. In his childhood, the North American and West Indian colonies were key elements of imperial trade and power. Over the course of the eighteenth century, the volume of trans-Atlantic commerce increased by more than a factor of twelve, constituting about …
Collision with the Colonies, 1765–1774
Burke's parliamentary career began with a major political crisis that would loom large in national debates for a further seventeen years. The rift with America represented the most dramatic controversy to emerge during the first half of the reign of George III. Colonial resistance mounted a challenge to the composite structure of the Empire and to the nature of metropolitan authority. This chapter charts Burke's response to the developing situati…
Natural Society and Natural Religion, 1750–1756
Prior to developing his conception of the limits of natural reason, Burke had come to privilege the achievements of artificial reason. He acquired this preference during the course of his legal studies. This chapter describes how within five years of his arrival in London, Burke was extending his ideas about the limits of pure reason to contemporary debates about the mysteries of the creation and revelation. He first ventured along this path in a…
Empire and Revolution
A major new account of one of the leading philosopher-statesmen of the eighteenth century Edmund Burke (1730–97) lived during one of the most extraordinary periods of world history. He grappled with the significance of the British Empire in India, fought for reconciliation with the American colonies, and was a vocal critic of national policy during three European wars. He also advocated reform in Britain and became a central protagonist in the gr…
Poor rural places in Papua New Guinea
In the late 1960s, Harold Brookfield and Doreen Hart were 'startled' by the order of magnitude differences in incomes from village cash cropping in different parts of Papua New Guinea (PNG). This paper traces these differences, back into a pre-colonial past and forward to the present and concludes, as Brookfield did in the 1960s, that severe environmental constraints, rather than market forces, are the primary cause of the pattern of spatial ineq…
Intensification of Agricultural Systems in Papua New Guinea
This paper provides an overview of the ways in which villagers have intensified agricultural systems in Papua New Guinea, focusing on the last 60 years. The intensification techniques used by villagers include: adoption of more productive staple crops, in particular sweet potato, cassava, Xanthosoma taro, Solanum potato and maize; adoption of more productive cultivars, especially of banana and sweet potato; shortening the fallow period; extending…
The sustainability of Papua New Guinea agricultural systems
Influence of Soil Moisture Extremes on Sweet Potato Yield in the Papua New Guinea Highlands
The influence of extremes of soil moisture on Ipomoea batatas (sweet potato) tuber yield in the Papua New Guinea high- lands is examined first through time-of-planting trials and secondly by comparing soil moisture extremes with reported shortfalls in subsistence food supply. Extended wet periods which result in a water surplus reduce Ipomoea yield and are frequently associated with food shortages. Only the most prolonged droughts result in insuf…
Village coffee in the eastern highlands of Papua New Guinea
Child malnutrition and agriculture on the Nembi plateau, Southern Highlands, Papua New Guinea
Experiments in Urban Modelling for County Structure Planning
This paper presents the form of the pilot model designed for the Reading-Wokingham-Aldershot-Basingstoke Subregional Study, known as Area 8. The model is based on the well-developed structure first used by Lowry, but in the quest to make the model operational, significant improvements have been made to the use of locational constraints, the treatment of external zones, and calibration. The original model is first outlined, and then a number of al…
