Green shoots from the grass roots? The N ational S hop S tewards N etwork
This paper presents an analysis of the significance of the Internet in rebuilding a shop stewards movement in a time of circumscribed trade union organisation and power. It takes the National Shop Stewards Network as the focus for empirical research and places the argument within the broader context of two historical periods of trade union activity. The study finds significant historical parallels in terms of the key questions of the relationship…
Dig where you stand
Neoliberal interpretations of the social world reject structural explanations in favour of those that see agency as primary. This orthodoxy presents a challenge to teachers who seek to support the development of a sociological understanding, particularly where disadvantaged students are undermined by the stigma associated with these interpretations. This article explores a teaching strategy which draws upon readings of auto/biography on the part …
Because we were living it
This article presents an individual's experience of a strike lasting one year and nine months. It brings to readers' attention the unrecognized work that is involved in maintaining a strike - the continuous organization of 'working' the strike, ongoing networking with other activists for support, constant quests for help from trade unions, politicians and others and ongoing campaigns to raise funding and awareness. It also highlights the personal…
The influence of professional factors in determining primary school teachers' commitment to health promotion
The objectives of the study were to identify the professional issues that teachers perceived as important in their commitment to a health promotion (HP) programme launched in their schools and to understand their perceptions of the impact of the programme on themselves as professionals, individuals, on students, on school staff and on the relationship with students' families. A mixed methods design was used. An anonymous questionnaire was distrib…
Global unions
This article takes as its theme the global restructuring of capital and its impact on worker organization. It argues for a reassertion of class in any analysis of global solidarity, and assesses the opportunities and barriers to effective global unionization. Rooted in the UK experience, the article analyzes the impact of the European social dimension on trade unions, before taking the discussion into a global dimension. It concludes by suggestin…
There's a new world somewhere
This article argues that the malaise that has characterised Britain's trade unions since the late-1970s can be located in an international context that also provides possibilities for renewal. It suggests two chronological phases in the response to decline, and then analyses the current debates in relation to partnership and organising. The paper concludes with an assessment of ideas of community unionism and their applicability in the UK
Introducing Neuropsychology (Psychology Focus)
William Morris and work as it is and as it might be
William Morris is a neglected theorist of the labour process debate which has often abandoned itself to the minutiae of work at the expense of the broader analysis initiated by Harry Braverman. Morris's writings on work are central to a socialist critique of the labour process. His analysis is necessarily located within nineteenth century debates and reflects the contradictions of his own life as an employer, communist activist and romantic medie…

Britain at Work
BRITAIN AT WORK (Cully et.al.1999) is the fourth in a series of surveys of workplace industrial relations that began in 1980 (Daniel & Millward, 1983, Millward & Stevens, 1986, Millward et. al. 1992) and follows an interim report published in 1998 (Cully et.al.). Each survey has gathered information from managers and employee representatives at over 2000 workplaces employing 25 or more workers. Britain at Work is inevitably an important piece of …
Vulnerability factors in the anxiety disorders
Groups of non‐clinical individuals scoring high and low on a measure of trait anxiety were compared to a group of people with a history of clinical anxiety on measures of locus of control of behaviour and reported parental rearing practices (group size = 30 in each group). The Parental Bonding Instrument (Parker, Tulping & Brown, 1979) was used to assess parental overprotection and care. A scale relating to parental sensitization was also used in…
Coming to Terms with Quality
The authors argument is that current quality initiatives are managerially driven and coincide with the development of so-called 'new right' politics in the public sector. They criticize those those who argue that quality is simply imposed on a quiescent workforce and suggest instead that the process is mediated through workers and their representatives. They use case study evidence from a local authority to analyse trade union responses and locat…
This great Europe of ours
Worker Co‐operatives and the Labour Process
The need to survive in a capitalist economy provides considerable constraints within which co‐operatives must operate. Existing research has been misplaced in believing that the co‐operative doors can be closed and analysis made without reference to the economic environment. Within these constraints some control over the labour process is still possible. Some potential for democratic control by the workforce exists. This control of the labour pro…
Japan and Asia
The Japanese Embassy in Bangkok is a modest building which behind its plain facade hides a skillfully designed microcosm of modern Japan-efficient, stylish, and purposeful. A row of tall casaurina trees almost totally masks the Embassy from the seething traffic of the Phetchburi road. It is a contrived essay in discretion. If the Japanese Embassy truly reflected its economic power in Thai affairs, it would be one of the tallest, most flamboyant b…
Asean
Like a youth who quickly grows up under stress, the Association of Southeast Asian Nations has matured rapidly because of the enormous pressures upon it. When the original ASEAN Declaration was signed in August 1967 by the foreign ministers of Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, and the Philippines, few observers believed that the new organization would be any more effective than previous efforts at regional solidarity. The Declaration's ai…
Thailand and Asean in a Dangerous World
WHENEVER THE DOMINO THEORY is discussed, Thailand's precarious situation on the turbulent frontiers of Communist Asia inevitably comes under scrutiny. Some of those who are ready to cast Thailand in the role of the next falling domino do so from an imperfect knowledge of Thailand's long history of dangerous living. This country is familiar with predators from both East and West. When the first Thai kingdom was founded by Sri Intratit (circa 1240)…
The Races of Morocco
Early in the sixteenth century a few Armenians found their way into Southern India with the countenance ancl support of the Honourable East India Company, and under a contract with the company equal privileges with British subjects were conceded to the Armenians.The company further extended favours to them when they reached, in any town, the number of forty, by the provision of a place of worship ancl by annual grants of money.For a long time aft…
