‘Patience, persistence and proportionality’
Desistance from crime is a priority for criminal justice policy and practice yet the term carries varying definitions across research literature. Contemporary discourses promote a refocusing from desistance's representation as an individual's personal journey, to understanding desistance more akin to a social movement. Research has predominantly focused on the lived experience of those striving to achieve desistance, with practitioner perspective…
New ‘auld enemies’ on and off the field
During the 1930s and 1940s Italy, alongside France, played England more times than any other foreign country. Moreover, the games played in 1939 and 1948, represented in the media as ‘matches of the century’, matched England, the ‘Masters of Football’, with Italy, the World Cup champions. The two countries were rivals also off the pitch, as highlighted by the Second World War. For British governments, these two fixtures possessed considerable sig…
Soccer Diplomacy
The book explores the nexus of the world’s most popular sport and diplomacy, as a tool of the nation-state–based diplomacy, as diplomacy of soccer as a non-state actor, and via the relationship between soccer and a variety of diplomatic actors in the subnational, national, and transnational context. Over the past century any number of states have sought to conduct diplomacy via soccer games, tournaments, and the sport’s governance structures, inc…
Frozen Empires
In 1900, Antarctica remained largely unexplored, virtually unknown and a blank on world maps. Indeed, a few years earlier, the 1895 International Geographical Congress held in London identified the southern polar continent as the greatest task of geographical exploration still to be undertaken—an assertion accentuated by the recent rapid opening up of other parts of the world. The challenge was soon answered. Britain played a pioneering role in e…

The Falkland Islands as an International Problem (Routledge Revivals)
Although the Falklands War of 1982 had a decisive outcome in respect to the restoration of British control, it failed to resolve the basic cause of the war: the Anglo-Argentine dispute over sovereignty. Relations between the two countries remain unstable, whilst a series of events throughout the past three decades have emphasised the sensitive and important nature of the international problem. First published in 1988, this book stresses the dispu…
For historians, even ‘historians of a postmodernist kind’, ‘presentation’ is the word
Within academia most historians have concentrated upon doing academic history, writing for and talking to fellow academics and students rather than taking the past to the general public. Popular history remains a low priority. In turn, their fundamental reluctance to theorise about history is complemented by a tendency to take presentation and audiences for granted. Neither alternative modes of presenting the past nor the nature, changing charact…
Falkland Islands As an International Problem (Routledge Revivals)
Scoring for Britain
This work studies the links between international football and politics in Britain between 1900 and 1939. It shows how the British government saw sport as an instrument of policy and cultural propaganda.
War Minus the Shooting’
George Orwell, the author of Animal Farm (1945) and Nineteen Eighty-Four (1949), wrote relatively little about sport, but is nevertheless quoted regularly on the topic. Today, his descriptor of international sport and the Olympics as ‘war minus the shooting’ has become almost a reference point for those talking or writing about sport in public life, academia or the media. More recently, Orwell's contemporary sporting role has acquired an addition…

The British Government and the Olympic movement
Despite being the first Summer Olympics held after the Second World War, the 1948 London Olympics have failed to attract the historical interest accorded to subsequent Olympiads. Focusing upon the British government, this article explores the historical significance of the XIV Olympiad. Quite apart from helping to re-launch the Olympic movement following the lengthy gap since the 1936 Berlin games, the 1948 London Olympics offer useful insights i…

The United Nations and Antarctica, 1992
The tenth successive annual UN session on the ‘Question of Antarctica’ took place at the close of 1992. The UN First Committee considered the topic during the week following the close of the Seventeenth Antarctic Treaty Consultative Meeting held at Venice. The passage of yet another resolution critical of the Antarctic Treaty System (ATS) suggested that little had changed as compared to previous sessions. Significantly, both critics and the Germa…
Britain and the Cold War's ‘Cultural Olympics’
David Caute's descriptor, the ‘Cultural Olympics’, highlighted sport's role in Cold War propaganda. For Britain, the 1945 Moscow Dynamo tour, though presented as continuing the wartime alliance, highlighted sport's potential for conducting anti-British propaganda as well as aggravating an already problematic Anglo-Soviet relationship. Subsequently, the overt politicisation of Soviet bloc sport, alongside official concern about Britain's sporting …

The United Nations' Study on Antarctica, 1984
In 1983 the UN Secretary-General was requested by the General Assembly to prepare a ‘Study on the question of Antarctica’ for the 1984 meeting of the Assembly. Published in November 1984, the Study provided a foundation for the UN First Committee's discussions of 28–30 November. These demonstrated, as had the discussions of the previous year, the polarization of views among UN member states for and against the Antarctic Treaty System. The UN reso…
Another sterile annual ritual? The United Nations and Antarctica 1987
The UN Secretary-General's third Report of September 1987 provided the background for the fifth annual round of the UN's consideration of the ‘Question of Antarctica’. The First Committee's discussions in November 1987 resulted in the adoption by large majorities of two further UN resolutions in favour of a moratorium on the Antarctic minerals regime negotiations, an enhanced UN role in the operations of the Antarctic Treaty System, and the exclu…

The United Nations and Antarctica, 2005
In November 2005 the ‘Question of Antarctica’ was taken up yet again by the UN First Committee. Following formal placement upon its agenda in 1983 by the Malaysian government, the UN has discussed the topic regularly, initially annually, then biennially, but more recently upon a triennial basis. As usual, in 2005 UN members were guided by a lengthy report produced for the United Nations Secretary General (UNSG) by the United Nations Environment P…
The United Nations and Antarctica 1986
In November 1986 the United Nations considered again the ‘Question of Antarctica’ and published a further study, up-dating and developing that produced in 1984 and guiding UN First Committee discussions of 18–19 November 1986. Three resolutions were adopted concerning availability of information to the UN on Antarctica, a moratorium on the Antarctic minerals regime negotiations, and the exclusion of South Africa as a Consulative Party. Most Antar…

The Less Said about Suez the Better
From an early stage of the 1956 Suez Crisis serious questions were raised about British policy, most notably about alleged collusion with the French and Israeli governments. Unconvinced by the Eden government's denials, critics accused ministers of misleading parliament and the country, and particularly of intervening in Egypt on a false pretext. The subsequent military debacle merely compounded the problem. Subsequently, Labour and Liberal MPs a…
The Lessons of Abadan and Suez for British Foreign Policymakers in the 1960s
Responding positively to the 1957 ‘funding experience’ initiative encouraging Whitehall departments to use history more systematically in their everyday work, the Foreign Office commissioned a pilot project centred upon the 1951 Anglo-Iranian Abadan crisis. The resulting study, completed by Rohan Butler in 1962, included a lengthy section drawing lessons from the historical narrative. During the early 1960s Butler's Abadan history, attracting int…
The United Nations and Antarctica, 1994
The twelfth successive UN session on the ‘Question of Antarctica,’ held at the close of 1994, saw a major change of direction. One brief session of the First Committee, followed by the General Assembly's adoption of resolution A49/80 without a vote, signified the restoration of a consensus approach towards the ‘Question of Antarctica’ for the first time since 1985. Resolution A49/80 stressed the need for Antarctic Treaty Parties (ATPs) to meet co…
The 1991 UN session
1991 saw the ninth successive United Nations (UN) discussion on the ‘Question of Antarctica.’ The adoption of two more resolutions critical of the Antarctic Treaty System (ATS), including South African participation therein, reaffirmed the unchanging nature of the UN episode and the lack of consensus on the management of Antarctica. Key developments affecting Antarctica continue to occur away from New York: during 1990—91 the negotiations conduct…
Antarctica, Viña del Mar and the 1990 UN debate
The Xlth Antarctic Treaty Special Consultative Meeting in Viña del Mar, Chile (19 November to 6 December 1990) aired the Antarctic Treaty Consultative Parties' views on conservation, following the collapse of support for the minerals convention. Almost simultaneously at the United Nations Assembly in New York, the eighth successive annual discussion on Antarctica included the usual critique of the Treaty System's political and legal framework. Th…
Convention on the Regulation of Antarctic Mineral Resource Activities
In June 1988, at the final session of the Fourth Special Antarctic Treaty Consultative Meeting in Wellington, New Zealand, the Convention on the Regulation of Antarctic Mineral Resource Activities (CRAMRA) was adopted, bringing to a successful conclusion six years of negotiations. Christopher Beeby, chairman of the discussions, presented the convention as the most important political development affecting Antarctica since the 1959 treaty, especia…
Antarctica at the UN 1988
The struggle between Antarctic Treaty Parties and their UN critics regarding the management of Antarctica was resumed in November 1988 when, for the sixth successive year, the United Nations discussed the 'Question of Antarctica'. This year the UN adopted two further resolutions reaffirming demands of 1987 for wider participation in the minerals negotiations, the involvement of the UN Secretary-General in Antarctic Treaty System operations, and t…

The question of Antarctica was discussed at the United Nations General Assembly in 1985 for the third successive year. While the content of the debates differed little from that of previous years, the discussions resulted in the adoption, by large majorities, of three resolutions in favour of an expanded and up-dated UN Study on Antarctica, the provision of information for the UN on the Antarctic minerals regime negotiations, and the exclusion of…
Preparatory meetings for the Antarctic Treaty, 1958–59
The personal papers of Admiral Dufek, former Antarctic Projects Officer of the United States Department of Defense, provide insights into the political negotiations (May 1958 to October 1959) that immediately preceded the international Antarctic Conference and prepared the way for the Antarctic Treaty of 1959. The papers, lodged with the University of Syracuse, disclose information hitherto unpublished on the first 26 preparatory meetings, with i…
The United Nations and Antarctica
The United Nations as a body has hitherto shown little interest or involvement in Antarctica.

British Antarctic Policy in the Early 20th Century
World War I has often been said to mark the end of the ‘Age of Imperialism’—the close of ‘that final surge of land hunger’ (Landes 1969) from 1880 to 1914 when much of the world's land surface, especially in Africa and the Pacific, was acquired by the major powers. Britain's large share was demonstrated by the predominance of red on pre-1914 maps, though in fact the British Empire achieved its greatest area after 1918; ‘... including India’, repo…

This development has been accompanied by increased government involvement in oil affairs as well as by closer co-operation between government and big business, a trend already apparent during the interwar period when the British government was drawn into a dispute between the Anglo-Persian Oil Co…

Cooperative Confrontation in the Falkland Islands Dispute
Territorial disputes have been an important factor influencing and embittering international relationships within Latin America, especially since the disagreements-often dating back to the early days of independence during the early 19th century-have been difficult to resolve because of the sensitivity of governments and public opinion to sovereignty issues. As a result, there is a marked reluctance to compromise. This not only makes the resoluti…

Research Problems in Studying Britain's Latin American past
During 1983 the Falkland Islands are celebrating 150 years of British rule in spite of not only the Argentine claim that the islands, or rather the Islas Malvinas, are an integral part of its territory but also the rapid post-1945 process of British decolonization. The continued existence of a long-standing AngloArgentine controversy, and particularly the events associated with the Falklands War of 1982, has encouraged research into the origins a…
