Prefiguring Subjection
This article examines the global rise of “pseudolaw”—an umbrella term encompassing “sovereign citizens,” “Freemen on the Land,” “Reichsbürger,” and related movements that reject state authority while performing their own versions of law. Building on examples from Germany, New Zealand, Australia, and North America, it argues that pseudolaw cannot be understood merely as pathology or delusion. Instead, it should be seen as a form of prefigurative l…
Cultural learning with 3D objects
This paper explores the viability of 3D imaging in cultural heritage management as a cultural learning resource for Australian Indigenous communities, explored through a case study from the Wiradjuri Nation in the Murrumbidgee Region of New South Wales. A methodology incorporating 3D imaging, yarning, and thematic analysis has provided a proof of concept for a culturally sensitive approach when assessing cultural values and has identified the edu…
Naked ambitions and masked violence
The article contends that storytelling is not merely a supplementary aspect of law but integral to its very essence. By examining popular culture and literary works like Frank Herbert’s Dune, the article illustrates how storytelling reveals and critiques the underlying violence and ambitions within legal systems. Structured in three acts, the article first examines legal scholars’ use of storytelling to unmask violence, then juxtaposes literary a…
Impact of Solar Farm Expansion on Forest Cover in Massachusetts
To decarbonize the electric grid, the U.S. state of Massachusetts has been investing in solar farms. This research aims to understand how the development of solar farms in Massachusetts has influenced deforestation between 2000 and 2021. Worcester County, in central Massachusetts, was used as a case study because it encompasses both urban areas and forests and has a land cover typical of the state. The research used Global Forest Watch Landsat im…
The Concerning Intersections of Sovereign Citizen and Indigenous Sovereignty Claims
In Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand, the influence of sovereign citizen pseudolaw on Indigenous sovereignty advocacy is increasingly visible. This influence was apparent in the referendum on an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Voice, COVID-19 protests, and in legal claims and native title disputes. In this article, we explain how sovereign citizen pseudolaw damages Indigenous peoples and communities by undermining their efforts to obtain s…
The Internationalisation of Pseudolaw
Pseudolaw refers to the phenomenon whereby adherents adopt the forms and structures of legal argumentation while substituting the substantive content and underlying principles for a distinct and parallel set of beliefs. In this article, we explore and catalogue the forms of pseudolegal claims made by a particular subset of adherents – the sovereign citizen movement – in one part of the common law world: courts in Australia and Aotearoa New Zealan…
I Spy Implicit Curriculum
The Council on Social Work Education (CSWE, 2022) requires undergraduate and graduate social work programs to conduct self studies to ensure programs meet required standards for accreditation. Of particular interest in this case study was the examination of implicit curriculum - the program's commitment to inclusive excellence, policies and procedures, advising, student participation, faculty engagement, administrative structure, resources, etc. …
Using structural topic modeling to gain insight into challenges faced by leaders
Tortious discipline
Tort law interrelates and overlaps with disciplinary power in complex ways that remain under-theorised. Borrowing from Foucault’s notion of disciplinary power, this article contributes to the theorisation of law and discipline and upholds tort law exemplifying that interrelation. Disciplinary power helps explain that the process of invoking rights forms productive and useful bodies for society, which has normalising effects throughout society. Th…
Our Legal Borders
In liberal democracies that were British colonies, law constructs the linkages and distinctions between individual and political bodies. Legality re-iterates the form of an ancient construct called the King’s Two Bodies. The legal construction of these bodies ensures that their borders are continuously and perpetually contested and transgressed, and different modalities of power have arisen to take advantage of them. Additionally, in times of mas…
Modern treaty making and the limits of the law
In recent years, several Australian states have formally committed to treaty negotiations with the First Peoples whose traditional lands they claim. The emerging treaty processes in Australia build on both the comprehensive land claim agreements currently under negotiation in Canada as well as the historic treaties struck between First Peoples and colonial powers in North America and Aotearoa / New Zealand. Parties engaged in these negotiations a…
I feel your pain”
Empathy, a multidimensional construct comprised of cognitive, affective, and behavioral dimensions, has been advanced as a critical predictor of prosocial behavior and effectiveness in the workplace. However, despite organizational interest in empathy, there is a lack of consensus on what empathy is, how empathy should be measured, and how empathy research can meaningfully contribute to our understanding of organizational behavior. This paper aim…
The self divided
When the United Nations General Assembly endorsed the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (‘UNDRIP’) in 2007, many extolled it for recognising Indigenous peoples’ right of self-determination. Although there is some consensus that all peoples have self-determination, as a legal claim it has routinely inspired criticism that it will lead to contradictory claims, interpretations, and further political contestation. Ten yea…
Consent, custom and international law in South Africa
This article summarises a recent South African case, Baleni v Minister of Mineral Resources. It also analyses the Court’s reasoning to explore how a non-Australian common law state protects a traditional community’s customary laws and practices through legislation, a Constitutional Bill of Rights, and international law. Although a South African case, Baleni demonstrates how similar common law countries have adopted distinct approaches to protecti…
Is Social Work Still Racist? A Content Analysis of Recent Literature
Addressing systems of oppression that disproportionately affect racial and ethnic minoritized groups appears to be of marginal interest in social work's professional literature. This article describes the content analysis of articles on Asian Pacific Islander (API) Americans, African Americans, Latinx or Hispanic Americans, and Native or Indigenous Americans in four major social work journals published between 2005 and 2015. (The analysis serves …
Macro or Micro? A Visual Art Exhibition Challenging Our Perceptions of Scale
Macro or Micro? is an exhibition of imagery created through an electron microscope and from satellites. The images are displayed together in a gallery setting where the viewers are asked to determine which are macro images and which are micro images. The micro images capture details that are millimeters or less in size, whereas the macro images capture details that are kilometers or larger in size—a difference in scale of a million times or more.…
Tangible artefacts unearth contemporary legalities
There is insufficient legal protection for tangible but non-charismatic Aboriginal artefacts in New South Wales, Australia. The State laws are insufficient because they provide State actors with the power to protect those artefacts and to decide whether artefacts are significant for Aboriginal peoples according to Aboriginal traditions. This article compares the laws that governed the excavation of Aboriginal artefacts in a colonial archaeologica…

An Exploratory Case Study of a Sexual Assault Telephone Hotline
Using archival data, this case study systematically examines telephone calls received by a regional sexual assault hotline in the Southeastern United States over a 5-year period. A stratified random sample ( n = 383) reveals that hotline staff require diversity and depth in knowledge and skills, demonstrated by the hotline's primary use as a crisis service, combined with notable use by long-term survivors. Findings include the utility of the hotl…
Beyond improvisation? The rise and rise of youth entrepreneurs in north India
This paper draws on qualitative fieldwork conducted in 2004–5, 2010 and 2012 to examine the recent expansion of higher education markets in north India. It focuses on a group of young men who attended university in the city of Meerut, Uttar Pradesh. Faced with dismal job prospects, they began to improvise, making money ad hoc by acting as small‐scale political brokers on campus. However, some of them subsequently utilised these improvisational sk…
Diet Diversity in Pastoral and Agro-pastoral Households in Ugandan Rangeland Ecosystems
We explore how diet diversity differs with agricultural seasons and between households within pastoral and agro-pastoral livelihood systems, using variety of foods consumed as a less complex proxy indicator of food insecurity than benchmark indicators like anthropometry and serum nutrients. The study was in the central part of the rangelands in Uganda. Seventy nine households were monitored for three seasons, and eight food groups consumed during…
Understanding Substance Abuse Counselor Turnover Due to Burnout
Clinical staff turnover resulting from burnout is one of the most challenging issues facing the substance abuse treatment field. This article provides a succinct description of the impact of clinical staff turnover on organizational performance and client treatment, along with a comprehensive literature review of individual and organizational characteristics that often lead to burnout. The Job Demand-Control Model and six areas of work life are e…
No More Hidden Secrets
Aim: This study used both high resolution and medium resolution satellite imagery to test three semi-automated remote sensing methods, in an attempt to identify useful tools to support eye-witness testimony and reports on human rights violations. As huts are routinely burned down during attacks on a village, particularly in Sudan, the number of huts and villages burned can be used to corroborate on-the-ground reports. Methods: Three remote sensin…
Jugād
This article examines the social and political significance of the Indian term jugād, which, crudely, means “make do and mend” or “find a way around”—for example, fixing a car fan belt with a pair of tights. Building on research conducted by Craig Jeffrey in 2004 and 2005 in western Uttar Pradesh, we show that a set of lower middle-class “fixers” has emerged among underemployed male youth in north India, who make large amounts of money acting as …

This paper summarizes and synthesizes different strands of literature, to present conclusions on the potential role of multinational enterprises in regional economic development in the EC. The circumstances under which ‘developmental’ MNE subsidiaries may emerge in host regions are reviewed and possible routes to cluster f…
Waiting for change
This paper examines waiting, caste and politics through reference to the cultural and political practices of educated unemployed young men in India. We show through ethnographic fieldwork in Uttar Pradesh how a shared sense of young male limbo sometimes erodes caste divides. While waiting in poorly provisioned north Indian universities, young men develop novel cultures that bridge caste, class and religion. They also collaborate across class, cas…

Technology Transfer to China through Foreign Direct Investment
YOUNG S. and LAN P.(1997) Technology transfer to China through foreign direct investment, Reg. Studies 31, 669-679. This paper examines the current problems in transferring technology into China through FDI. Empirical evidence shows that the extent of technology transfer is fairly limited but at the level expected given China's developing country status and technological capacities. Given the size and growth of the market, however, substantial op…
Gender, Mobility and the Financialisation of Development
This article challenges popular claims about the capacity for microfinance to reduce poverty and empower women in the global South. Instead, I posit microfinance as a contradictory development tool, one that creates possibilities for both the contestation and continuation of unequal social relations at multiple scales. The article is divided into two major sections. I begin by examining the assumptions embedded in mainstream financial mappings of…
The “Moral Hazards” of Microfinance
This paper explores how economic ideas are produced, how they travel, and how they are contested, in complex and contingent ways, in particular places. It stems from events that took place in coastal Andhra Pradesh, India, where I conducted fieldwork on microfinance programs during 2007. I begin by tracing how the practices of microfinance—and the ideas and rationalities underpinning them—have been increasingly globalized as a development tool si…

Global Strategies, Multinational Subsidiary Roles and Economic Impact in Scotland
Reflecting the changing nature of industries and competition worldwide, there has been an explosion of writings on the themes of global strategies and the globalisation of business, including authors such as; Doz and Prahalad (1987); Porter (1987); Hood and Vahlne (1988). A multinational company (MNE) pursuing a global strategy conceives its manufacturing, marketing, technology and other policies on a worldwide basis, and co-ordinates its resourc…
The nature of privatisation in Britain, 1979–85
Since 1979 the term 'privatisation' has been much in evidence. It usually refers to three attempts by the Thatcher governments to 'roll back the public sector' ‐ selling parts of the nationalised industries, opening them up to greater competition, and contracting out public sector services to the private sector. This article argues that the thrust of the privatisation strategy goes much wider than is usually appreciated. It describes the case for…

The different dimensions of green politics
The purposes of this article are to define green politics and to set out the range of issues that Environmental Politics aims to cover. It is based around an extensive flow chart. This exploits the distinction between deep and shallow ecology. Deep ecologists argue that the only way to tackle the environmental problems facing the planet is via fundamental reforms of the way society is organised. The shallow ecologists, or environmental reformists…
Sourcing patterns of foreign-owned multinational subsidiaries in Europe
The paper investigates the determinants of the sourcing patterns of foreign-owned multinational subsidiaries in a cross-country European setting. Sourcing decisions (namely, buying locally versus internationally) represent a highly relevant theme for regional and national host economies, given the potential impact these decisions can have on indigenous industrial systems. The subject under analysis attracts considerable attention in regional econ…
Targeting Policy as a Competitive Strategy for European Inward Investment Agencies
This article provides a framework to assist the target ing activities of European inward investment agencies (IIAs), recognizing that historically inward investment has not fulfilled the desired role of facilitating self- sustaining and innovative economic development in many European regions. While many such agencies do target their promotional programmes, the variables utilized in defining target markets have been in sufficiently directed to th…

The multinational enterprise and subsidiary evolution
This paper explores the major developments in the multinational enterprise (MNE) literature; along with the research conducted on Scottish-based MNE subsidiaries and the policy changes that have taken place in Scotland aimed at promoting foreign direct investment (FDI). It is suggested that subsidiaries may evolve from the branch plant to the developmental and the entrepreneurial subsidiary type; with each of these three subsidiary types contribu…
Postcards from Heaven
This article examines a little-known project funded by the US Air Force and CIA, and carried out by communications scientists at the University of Washington during the early 1950s. Project Revere sought to investigate how the seemingly humble information leaflet could be deployed, via air drops, as a “flexible weapon” to spark “interpersonal communications” and spread rumours throughout particular target populations. While the testing ground for…

A Study of the Structure and Composition of an Old Growth and Secondary Broad-Leaved Forest in the Ailao Mountains of Yunnan, China
A cooperative U.S.A.-China ecological study took place at the Xujiaba Nature Sanctuary on the northern crest of the Ailao Shan (mountains) in central-west Yunnan. By making forest access difficult and keeping human immigration low, the mountainous topography of Yunnan has assisted in protecting forest cover. This project studied the vegetational and bird structure and composition of an old growth and a secondary evergreen broad-leaved forest. The…
