Valuing transition/transitioning value
The article considers the origins of capitalism in order to scrutinise critiques of Open Marxism and Political Marxism, to bring these not-so-distant approaches more into dialogue and enhance the explanatory and critical capacity of both. First, we discuss the centrality of class relations to both Open Marxism and Political Marxism. Second, we show that Open Marxism has been criticised for its failure to provide a comprehensive account of the ori…

Revisiting Approaches to British Imperialism
Primitive Accumulation in the East Africa Groundnut Scheme
This paper revisits the Groundnut Scheme, a postwar colonial development project in East Africa\ninfamous for its catastrophic failure. It examines the plans made by British state managers and the\nScheme’s planners at both the United Africa Company and the Overseas Food Corporation to\ntransform African colonial subjects into stabilized wage-labourers. The paper seeks to understand\nthis social transformation in the context of the contradictory …

Generalised Comedy Production
The paper considers the emergence of Alternative Comedy in the 1980s, placing this development in the context of Marx's understanding of capitalist society and a critique of Adorno's notion of the culture industry. The paper argues that this change in British comedy was made possible by the policies of the British state in the 1980s, which changed how comedians understood property, propriety and performance. While Alternative Comedy was highly cr…
British satire, everyday politics
This article develops a critical engagement with the politics of British satire. After first engaging the mainstream critique of satire—that it promotes cynicism and apathy by portraying politicians in stereotypically corrupt terms—we develop a performative approach to comedy as an everyday vernacular of political life. Beyond a focus on ‘impact’, we suggest that satire can be read as an everyday form of political reflection that performs within …
Depoliticisation and the politics of imperialism
Revisiting the debate on open Marxist perspectives
This article seeks to review the recent incarnation of a long-standing engagement in international political economy (IPE) and critical theory between open Marxist perspectives (OMPs) and their critics. The article aims to identify the enduring relevance of this debate in order to think about the possibility and future of critical social inquiry in our time constructively. It criticises elements on both sides of the debate that no longer serve bu…
British Imperialism and the Political Economy of Malayan Independence
The article focuses on Britain’s relationship with Malaya shortly before and after its independence from the British Empire. The article looks at the negotiations concerning the financial settlement prior to independence. Britain sought to keep Malaya within the sterling area at all costs, even after de jure convertibility had been achieved, due to its high dollar earning capacity, which remained important due to persistent trade deficits with th…
The Political Economy of Imperial Relations
The Political Economy of Imperial Relations offers a much needed historical and theoretical intervention into the relationship between Britain and Malaya after the Second World War. It challenges exis

New Imperialism
A prominent theme in scholarly analyses of contemporary international affairs concerns the extent to which the unrivalled power and activities of the United States can be said to constitute a form of imperialism. Typically, the contours of this debate center on the ostensible differences between “old” and “new” varieties of imperialist practice. Yet the concept of “new imperialism” remains one on which little consensus exists. Wide differences of…
Towards an open Marxist theory of imperialism
The purpose of this paper is to provide the basis for a theory of imperialism that is consonant with open Marxism. The paper argues that accounts of imperialism heretofore have been contingent and focused on the appearance of imperialism, and spent little time considering its essence as a manifestation of the state's power and desire to maintain the circuit of capital both nationally and internationally. The paper seeks to show that open Marxism …
Appraising qualitative research for inclusion in systematic reviews
Objective: Qualitative research is increasingly valued as part of the evidence for policy and practice, but how it should be appraised is contested. Various appraisal methods, including checklists and other structured approaches, have been proposed but rarely evaluated. We aimed to compare three methods for appraising qualitative research papers that were candidates for inclusion in a systematic review of evidence on support for breast-feeding. M…
Synthesising qualitative and quantitative evidence
BACKGROUND: The limitations of traditional forms of systematic review in making optimal use of all forms of evidence are increasingly evident, especially for policy-makers and practitioners. There is an urgent need for robust ways of incorporating qualitative evidence into systematic reviews. OBJECTIVES: In this paper we provide a brief overview and critique of a selection of strategies for synthesising qualitative and quantitative evidence, rang…
