Marginal Utility and New Saint Petersburg Paradoxes
Adam Smith may have read Daniel Bernoulli’s 1738 essay on risk, and Smith modified his view on risk while teaching jurisprudence to two Russian students, this essay argues. The matter is important because William Stanley Jevons read Adam Smith closely, of course, but Jevons did not read Daniel Bernoulli, and Jevons convinced Alfred Marshall that the concept of marginal utility did not need the advanced mathematical probability which they could ha…
Demographic and clinical profile of an inception cohort of road trauma survivors
In a large cohort of road trauma survivors, overall injury severity was low. Motorcyclists and pedestrians, but not cyclists, had more severe injuries than motorists. Extremity injuries were more common in vulnerable road users. Future research will investigate one-year recovery outcomes and identify risk factors for poor recovery
The Structure of the Church of England
Marshal Vauban, John Law, and the Loss of the French Tradition of Political Arithmetic
A seventeenth-century tradition of British political arithmetic merged the empiricism of Sir Francis Bacon with an early version of statistical science. William Petty, John Graunt, and Gregory King were leaders in this work. They used no higher mathematics but only what English-speaking people called shop arithmetic, addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. They debated how far statistical data should inform the decisions of statesmen…
A Qualitative Process Evaluation of Classroom-Based Cognitive Behaviour Therapy to Reduce Adolescent Depression
Small scale trials indicate that classroom-based Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) for adolescents has good reach and can help prevent depression. However, under more diverse everyday conditions, such programmes tend not to show such positive effects. This study examined the process of implementing a classroom-based CBT depression prevention programme as part of a large (n = 5,030) randomised controlled trial across eight UK secondary schools whi…
Information Polity
I am pleased to begin with my recent statement, which some of you will already have read, relating to newfound recognition for Information Polity.It is a major moment in the life of what is still a new journal when recognition is offered by a major international bibliometrics provider -in this case SCOPUS.Scopus describes itself as "the largest abstract and citation database of peer-reviewed literature: scientific journals, books and conference p…
The impact of the ‘Girls on the Move’ Leadership Programme on young female leaders’ self-esteem
Using findings obtained from an evaluation of the ‘Girls on the Move’ Leadership Programme in Scotland, this paper assesses the impact physical activity leadership courses and leading physical activities had on young women’s global self-esteem. While research has shown that engagement in youth development activities can contribute to an individual’s self-esteem, less is known about the impact of youth leadership on young people’s self-esteem. Bas…
From social networking and democratic activity to the efficacy of e-Government
From social networking and democratic activity to the efficacy of e-Government: Macro and micro perspectives As my title for this editorial suggests, this edition provides new research findings in two spheres of profound interest to this journal and its readers: those of the gathering significance of social media to democratic engagements on the one hand, and of how to view and evaluate e-government in the contemporary state, on the other.In some…
Electronic Democracy, Public Accountability and Public Service Information Provision
of the 2013 volume of Information Polity speaks to forms of informational relationships between governments and their citizens.The papers cover large swathes of the world, with contributions from the USA, Sweden, Portugal and Brazil, making this edition a truly international one in keeping with the continuing aspirations of this journal to inform its readers about a wide range of experiences in the field of digital government and democracy.Collec…
The Information Polity
The overarching argument here is that only a 'whole polity' perspective, an 'information polity' perspective, can be satisfactory as both a starting and finishing point for the predictive endeavour being set out in this special edition. The organising image is one of seeing two trajectories at work in the polity, trajectories that hitherto have too often been treated as separate but which are ineluctably intertwined. The first of these trajectori…

Information Polity
Recent data made available to me confirms the gathering strength of Information Polity amongst academics and professionals worldwide.Of particular significance for a journal that sets out to be international in its outreach and content is the interest to be found in the journal in the USA, India, Canada, China as well as in the UK and many other European countries.Such reach will add weight to our application to Thomson/Reuters early next year fo…
Digital Visions and Digital Identity
Identity Management, Administrative Sorting and Citizenship in New Modes of Government
In many countries, the introduction of new forms of identity management (IDM) in government, such as identity cards, smart cards or web-based e-authentication solutions, is receiving a lot of attention. Critics of these initiatives generally point at the expected outcome of substantial information imbalances between government and citizens. Clearly, newly formed, ICT-facilitated information relationships between government and citizens would not …
Quality and variety in the pages of Information Polity
Information Polity aims to publish many of the best articles written in this field, and it can be confident that it does so.Our reviewing procedures are rigorous, with double blind reviewing the minimum standard we undertake.In some of our special issues in particular a further aspect strengthens our procedures as papers have already been 'quality filtered' by guest editors who have heard the original presentations upon which articles are based a…
The citizen in the information polity
The rise of 'e-government', both as a recognized field of practice and an identifiable and legitimate field of study, has occurred extraordinarily rapidly throughout the world. The term 'e-government' has come to capture and de-limit in toto what might be termed the agenda for government in the age of the Internet. This article questions the value of the orthodox interpretation, the paradigm, that has so rapidly emerged around e-government, in pa…
The value of retrospection, reflection and strong tools of analysis
The value of retrospection, reflection and strong tools of analysisAsking distinguished European colleagues in the field of ICT in public administration to contribute in retrospective mode to a celebratory event and, from that, to write up their thoughts for this journal has proved a great success.Miriam Lips' collection of these essays, together with her own thoughtful contributions should prove of value to scholars working in this field, not le…
Rediscovering the Grand Narratives of the Information Polity
My main theme in this short essay is that scholars of what I have called the information polity [3,13, 14] should lift up their sights and engage with the ‘macro themes’ of the day, as they have done in the past. It is interesting to me to see how our collective sights have lowered during the past 10 years, or so. We have in that period become more and more concerned with meso and micro themes relating to forms of public management, and systems d…
Public Administration in the Information Society
Risk and trust are interlocking issues, thrown into the social, political and managerial foreground as governments pursue their responses to the development of the information society. Transformations in the ways in which information is gathered, stored, transmitted and shared throughout government and the wider polity, raise a variety of concerns across the spectrum of scholarship and public commentary. As the use of ICT becomes virtually ubiqui…
Fulfilling its Promise – Information Polity as an International Journal
As Editor, I am delighted that this journal continues to fulfil both its promise and its objectives.As with any new venture there is some uncertainty about whether it will succeed.In the case of an academic journal a key measure of success is the number of manuscripts received from prospective authors.In its first two years the journal has proved itself in this respect, receiving more articles than it can carry and at a pace that is enabling it t…

From information infrastructure to information polity
Governance and electronic innovation
Governments have taken shape universally through their creation and use of institutional structures of the State, yet it is the perceived failure of these institutions that has, of recent years, established enthusiasm for governance rather than government. Whereas government has historically been constructed within a paradigm that interprets the relationships between government and citizen in formal, constitutional terms, governance is emerging f…

Public Administration and the Information Polity
Within the debates in Britain about changes in contemporary public administration insufficient attention has been focused to date upon the significance of new information and communication technologies. In particular, the operational importance of computer networks to government organizations, and of the information flows supported by them, have hitherto been given scant attention. A primary focus for understanding the current transformation proc…

Introduction
This introduction to the theme issue on Towards the Information Polity? Public Administration in the information age presents the case for the systematic academic investigation of the changing relationships which characterize the ‘information polity’. This perspective on the information polity focuses on the significance of new kinds of informational resources and flows in government, and their interaction with broad directions of reform in conte…
What Should be the Role of the Auditor‐General in the Context of Managerialist Government and New Public Management
The role of an auditor‐general may be set out in somewhat dry terms as follows: providing expert, independent, public opinions on the financial affairs of government and its bodies and the efficiency, economy and effectiveness with which governments use the resources and power provided to them by taxpayers. This definition is relevant to any environment, managerialist or otherwise, for it is silent on the methods by which these opinions are reach…

Don't obliterate, informate
This article takes the view that BPR in the dominant form in which it is presently characterised, is a re‐expression of industrial age classical administration. As such it is oblivious of organization as a political entity or as a set of ‘human resources' . What is needed is a new model of BPR for the information age

Information Networking in Public Administration
The ‘transformation game’
The relationship between new information and communication technology and organizations is the subject of considerable debate. So too is the nature of organizational transformation. ‘Business process re‐engineering’, with its emphasis upon the strategic deployment of information systems, brings both debates together. But does it resolve any of the issues

Police management, office automation and organizational change
Police forces, in common with much of the UK system of public administration, continue to come under pressure to engage in managerial and administrative modernisation. This article looks at the role office automation systems play in these processes and at the case for organizational change to accompany the adoption of these systems

The Potential Role of Peatland Dynamics in Ice-Age Initiation
Physical and chemical coupling of peatland vegetation, soils and landforms, and atmosphere creates feedbacks which may be important in ice-age initiation. A box diffusion CO 2 exchange model shows that a transient forcing of 500 Gt C (the amount proposed to have accumulated in peatlands during the last interglacial–glacial transition) over 5000 yr results in a lowering of atmospheric CO 2 by about 40 ppm. Proxy data indicate that a decrease in at…
