Micro-mobility
Micro-mobility innovations have significant potential for a transition to sustainable mobility by offering an alternative to the car for short distance journeys and for a wider group of users than the conventional bike. This research examines the transport strategies of three Australian cities - Perth, Melbourne and Sydney - through a “policy instruments” approach offered by the NATO framework in order to understand the role of governments in inf…
Montesquieu
Montesquieu’s many works contain a sophisticated account of military strategy that anticipated nineteenth-century developments in the subject. In particular, his influence over Jomini was more significant than previously realized

Herstory as an Important Force in Bioethics
This tribute celebrates the life and work of Marian Gray Secundy (1938–2002), who was the first director of the National Center for Bioethics in Research and Health Care, a passionate advocate for health equity, a visionary scholar, and a skilled editor and collaborator. Within the tribute are several short remembrances in which individuals describe their association with Secundy to honor her as a leader, friend, scholar, advocate, and teacher in…
The case for ‘public’ transport in the age of automated mobility
So many butterflies
Isaiah Berlin has not attracted much attention from academic strategists. This is unfortunate, because his concept of value pluralism helps explain why strategic decisions are burdened by uncertainty. It also highlights the importance of political judgement in reducing this uncertainty and the role of history in educating political judgement
Assessing the Spatial Implications of Autonomous Vehicles as Feeders to Railway Stations in Suburban Melbourne
Using results from a design-research studio analysing rail station access in Melbourne, this article considers how differing Autonomous Vehicle (AV) deployment models might fit into a suburban landscape. The results challenge assumptions about AV deployment. If AVs are low occupancy, peak demands may require station carparks to be used entirely as pick-up/drop off zones. This suggests little opportunity to re-purpose car parks for non-transport u…
Thomas Hobbes as strategist
Hobbes’ relevance to the concerns of strategy has gone unappreciated. He is, after all, interested in escaping the condition of war, rather than exploiting its political utility. And yet, exactly because of this, Leviathan addresses the principal difficulty with strategic deliberation – which is the epistemic deficit that attends human interaction, encouraging anticipatory violence. As the military theorist Carl von Clausewitz observed, minimizin…

Does a Patient's Trauma History Ethically Justify a Discriminatory Clinical Referral
This article analyzes a child psychiatrist's referral approach when the patient's care must be transferred to an adult psychiatrist and the otherwise best adult psychiatrist has "accented" language, which is associated with the patient's prior trauma. The analysis considers the value of simplicity and a related "simplicity strategy," revealing that many ethical factors lay behind the simplicity approach. The inquiry then addresses simplicity rega…
Ethnic Groups
Ethnicity and ethnic groups are key aspects of almost all modern societies and play a critical role in understanding both intra and interstate conflicts. Unlike kinship groups that are based on biological ancestry, ethnicity is the result of a belief in common origins which may have little or no genetic reality. However, members of ethnic groups often share a sense of mutual historical origins, a common culture and, sometimes, but not always, a s…

Nebulous nationalism
Walker Connor's extensive writings on nationalism covered a wide range of issues and an even wider range of societies, from North America to Western Europe, from the countries of the Communist bloc to the evolving forms of identity and affiliation throughout the postcolonial, developing world. No theme in his work is perhaps more salient than his critical distinction between state and nation, one that was so often blurred by a loose terminology t…

Cultivating Humility and Diagnostic Openness in Clinical Judgment
In this case, a physician rejects a patient's concerns that tainted water is harming the patient and her community. Stereotypes and biases regarding socioeconomic class and race/ethnicity, constraining diagnostic frameworks, and fixed first impressions could skew the physician's judgment. This paper narratively illustrates how cultivating humility could help the physician truly hear the patient's suggestions. The discussion builds on the multifac…
George Orwell on politics and war
George Orwell is not generally remembered for his views on strategy. Nevertheless a careful reading of his written work reveals a coherent appreciation of war’s strategic dimension. For Orwell, war is a necessary adjunct to politics, and the utility of strategic action should be based on rational considerations of cost and benefit. He rejected pacifism and self-imposed restraints on warfare on the basis that such positions proceeded from unexamin…
Beyond Clausewitz
Clausewitz has much to tell us about strategy. However, his most fundamental and enduring insights are obscured by his problematic theorizing about war in general. Essentially the same insights have been more clearly and economically articulated in the fields of political philosophy and game theory. As such, these literatures provide a more accessible introduction to the basics of strategy. The real value of Clausewitz resides in his profound und…
Affirmative Action (Race and Ethnic Quotas)
Affirmative action is a term applied to policies designed to redress inequalities created by historical legacies of racial, ethnic, and other types of group discrimination and disadvantage. Such policies have also been called affirmative discrimination , usually by those opposed to such measures, or positive discrimination , by proponents of these strategies. Like most social action aimed at redistributing resources and opportunities between grou…
Conflict (Racial/Ethnic)
Conflict is a basic process in social life and can be both destructive and cohesive. In some situations, it can be destructive for some groups and act as a cohesive force for others. Racial and ethnic groups may be the source and the result of the two faces of social conflict, acting as a boundary marker between groups that see themselves as distinctive in their interests and values from other such groups. Since the mid‐twentieth century, sociolo…

Symbolic ethnicity and Herbert Gans
This article attempts to assess some of Herb Gans's influential contributions, not only in his important paper on symbolic ethnicity, but also his wider discussion of the changing role of race, ethnicity, and religion in American society. In a period spanning more than half a century, he has helped to raise key questions and to suggest avenues of research that have stimulated debates and the re-evaluation of a complex, controversial, and highly d…
Introduction
Race, Ethnicity, and the Weberian Legacy
The whole conception of ethnic groups is so complex and so vague that it might be good to abandon it altogether. -Max Weber (1922/1968) Economy and Society [The present century has witnessed] explosions of nationalism, [of] racism and, in places, of religious bigotry, which, interestingly enough, not one among the most perceptive social thinkers of the nineteenth century had ever predicted. -Isaiah Berlin (1992) The Crooked Timber of Humanity
New paradigms for old? Ethnic and racial studies on the eve of the millennium
This article looks back over the first twenty volumes of Ethnic and Racial Studies to consider the extent to which the field has changed during the last two decades and how this has been reflected in the diverse contributions to the journal. The original aim of the venture was to establish a scholarly publication for interdisciplinary and comparative studies of race and ethnic relations, viewed as a global phenomenon and open to the broadest rang…

Cyber War Will Take Place
The question of whether or not cyber war amounts to war per se is difficult to determine given strategic theory's uncertain grasp of the concepts of force, violence and lethality. These three concepts, along with their relationships with one another, are explored in order to demonstrate that cyber attacks can in fact be construed as acts of war
Conventional Deterrence and the Challenge of Credibility
The concept of ‘credibility’ is a central component of deterrence theory. In this article, credibility is used as a lens through which to examine the effectiveness of conventional force as a deterrent. An advantage that conventional force enjoys over its nuclear counterpart is that it can be used with much greater discrimination. Conventional threats can, therefore, be considered more politically credible than nuclear threats under all but the mo…
Teaching ethnic and racial relations
Banton's critique of race and ethnic relations highlights differences between the U.K. and the U.S.A. The interplay between ethnic politics and the teaching of the subject in the universities reflects differing reactions to the demise of Marxism, the impact of globalization and the growth of transnationalism. In America, anthropology, economics, cultural studies and conflict resolution have had a mixed impact on the field, but an examination of t…

Explaining Strategic Theory
The word strategy is an over-used and much misunderstood term. M.L.R. Smith and John Stone show how strategic theory should be conceived as an analytical method. In the process they demonstrate how strategic theory offers a mind-opening and intellectually liberating path that is able to clarify complexity
The Point of the Bayonet
This article investigates the continued presence of the bayonet in the face of rapid and sustained military-technological change, and argues that the technical characteristics of this simple weapon are minimally implicated in its longevity. Rather, the bayonet's continuing military effectiveness is conjured out of a collection of social practices amongst which the physical artifact is embedded during the process of training soldiers. The purpose …
Politics, Technology and the Revolution in Military Affairs
This article borrows from the work of Clausewitz to posit two general approaches to the pursuit of limitation in war, one being political and the other technical. The political approach seeks to control escalation via consensual arrangements with the adversary, while the technical approach seeks to forestall escalation by peremptorily destroying the enemy's military capability. It is argued that the `Revolution in Military Affairs' (RMA) instanti…

Under-labourer or ϋber-labourer - a zero sum game
Banton and Rex's differences in their analysis of race and ethnic relations rest not so much on the contrast between 'prophet' and 'scientist', but rather on two quite different perspectives on the nature of sociology itself. Each in their own way has much to offer the field, which explains their continuing relevance to this area of study

Re-thinking racial conflict in an era of global terror
At the end of April 2004, the first author of this article gave a talk entitled Racial Conflict Revisited, as the Inaugural Public Lecture of the Racist Futures programme based in the Centre for Ethnicity and Racism Studies at the University of Leeds. In early July 2005, three young men caught a train from Leeds to London, where they were joined by a collaborator, and rapidly became the prime suspects in the 7/7 suicide bombings of the London und…
Air‐power, land‐power and the challenge of ethnic conflict
As recent events in Kosovo have demonstrated, demands for the international community to intervene in ethnic conflict and Civil Wars have become common currency in the post‐Cold War era. While much attention has been focused on the ethical imperative behind such interventions, little attention has been paid to the doctrinal aspects of such intervention, including matching the military force required to the political objective. By examining the cu…

The “Migrant Factor” in a Plural Society
Migration usually assumes a disproportionate political significance in societies characterized by sharp racial ethnic and social cleavages. The reason for this is not difficult to explain for in these situations the immigrant becomes another weapon in the armoury of group antagonism. Small shifts in numbers take on an actual as well as symbolic importance which can in no way be related to their absolute size. As W. I. Thomas that pioneering socio…
The "Migrant Factor" in a Plural Society
Black nationalism and apartheid
Two concepts of separatism, embodied in the doctrines of Black Nationalism and Apartheid, have been advocated by sections of the Black minority in the United States and the White minority in South Africa. Although these ideologies have developed on diametrically opposed political foundations, situations of subordination in contrast to situations of dominance, they contain certain common themes. This paper explores a number of basic problems in th…
