  • Flavoured tobacco product restrictions in Massachusetts associated with reductions in adolescent cigarette and e-cigarette use

    Summer Sherburne Hawkin, Claudia Kruzik et al.ARTICLETobacco Control2021

    Adolescents in Massachusetts decreased their use of cigarettes and e-cigarettes in response to local restrictions that limited the sale of flavoured tobacco products to adult-only retail tobacco stores. Local legislation can reduce adolescent tobacco use and municipalities should enact stricter tobacco-control policies when not pre-empted by state law

  • The Idea of the American South, 1920-1941

    Open AccessMichael O’brien, Michael O'BrienBOOKIdea of the American South,…2019

    Between the wars, the South was not only different but, as Dr. O'Brien shows, felt itself to be so. His book focuses on the thinking of those Southern intellectuals who attempted in different ways to single out the essentials of Southernism

  • Welfare Reform in Aotearoa/ N ew Z ealand

    Open AccessMichael O’brien, Michael O'BrienARTICLESocial Policy and Administration2013Citada por: 3Referências: 13

    Active citizenship, obligations and growing surveillance have been key dimensions of the changing approach to welfare in N ew Z ealand over the last 30 years; this article explores these changes and some of their implications. In a context of growing inequality and poverty, the emphasis has been placed on beneficiary responsibilities rather than rights. Increased participation in paid work, associated with a critical approach to ‘benefit dependen…

  • Child poverty and child rights meet active citizenship

    Open AccessMichael O’brien, Michael O''Brien et al.ARTICLEChildhood2011Citada por: 4Referências: 22

    Children's rights and active citizenship have been significant policy emphases and developments in recent years but the relationship between the two has not been actively explored in relation to the implications for child poverty. Recent policy developments in New Zealand and Sweden are drawn on here to explore this relationship. The article argues that an emphasis on active citizenship does not lead to improvement of rights for all children. Too…

  • The American experience of secularisation

    Open AccessM J O''Brien, Michael O'BrienCHAPTERReligion and the Political…2010

    There are many ways to approach the question of how far the United States is a standing reproach to the ‘secularisation thesis’, not least because there are many versions of that thesis. The strongest version, whose intellectual genealogy runs from Condorcet via Auguste Comte to Max Weber, suggests that religion is irrational and childlike, that modernity promotes rationality and maturity, and that in time religion will be extinguished because re…

  • Religion and the Political Imagination

    Open AccessIngrid Creppell, David M Thompson et al.BOOKReligion and the Political…2010

    The theory of secularisation became a virtually unchallenged truth of twentieth-century social science. First sketched out by Enlightenment philosophers, then transformed into an irreversible global process by nineteenth-century thinkers, the theory was given substance by the precipitate drop in religious practice across Western Europe in the 1960s. However, the re-emergence of acute conflicts at the interface between religion and politics has co…

  • Amoralities Not for Turning

    Michael O’brien, Michael O'BrienARTICLEJournal of the History of Ideas2008

    It is suggested that George Cotkin's essay is unpersuasive in its two central claims. Firstly, the evidence is not persuasive that there has been a discernible "moral turn" among historians in the last two decades; rather, it is argued that an engagement with morality has been fairly constant in historical scholarship since its ancient origins. Secondly, it is felt that Cotkin is evasive on whether he wishes historians merely to have opinions abo…

  • Poverty, Policy and the State

    Michael O''Brien, Michael O'BrienBOOKPoverty, Policy and the State2008

    New Zealand has experienced both sweeping economic and social reform and growing poverty and income inequality in the last twenty years. This book explores the changes to social security provision and coverage in the context of widening national and international poverty and inequality." "The book argues that the policy initiatives have altered the nature of social security and in doing so have significantly transformed the nature of social citiz…

  • Poverty, Policy and the State

    Open AccessMichael S O’brien, Michael O'BrienBOOKPoverty, Policy and the State2007

    Towards a Democratic Division of Labour in Europe? starts from the challenge of balancing values of 'equality' and 'freedom' in all sections of modern societies, introducing the Combination Model as a scientific tool for studying the division of professional and family work, and for elaborating adequate policy perspectives.

  • South to a New Place

    M O’brien, Michael O'Brien et al.ARTICLEThe Journal of Southern History2004

    Taking Albert Murray's South to a Very Old Place as a starting point, contributors to this exciting collection continue the work of critically and creatively remapping the South through their freewheeling studies of southern literature and culture. Appraising representations of the South within a context that is postmodern, diverse, widely inclusive, and international, the essays present multiple ways of imagining the South and examine both place…
