- Portable politics and durable religion: the moral worldviews of American evangelical missionaries
- INTRODUCTION We began this study with the assumption that American international missionaries, having been exposed to a foreign culture, would relativize their own perspective on American culture, religion, and politics.

- From Canadian corporate elite to transnational capitalist class: transitions in the organization of corporate power
- INVESTIGATION OF THE SOCIAL ORGANIZATION of corporate power has deep roots in Canada.

- Hegel's theory of moral action, its place in his system and the 'highest' right of the subject
- 1 INTRODUCTION There is at present, amongst Hegel scholars and in the interpretative discussions of Hegel's social and political theories, the flavour of old-style 'apology' for his liberal credentials, as though--prior to any attempt to engage with the social ethics he proposes--there exists a real need to prove Hegel...

- Groups versus individuals in Hume's political economy
- So great is the force of laws, and of particular forms of government, and so little dependence have they on the humours and tempers of men, that consequences almost as general and certain may sometimes be deduced from them, as any...

- Canada's workers movement: uneven developments
- WITHIN THE CONTEXT of North America, Canada's economy, politics, and labour movement, as well as the country's diverse cultures, have a dual, almost divided, character. On the one hand, they exhibit highly independent and distinctive features; on the other, they are deeply entwined with--indeed operating in the shadow of and...

- Citizenship entitlements beyond borders? Identifying mechanisms of access and redress for affected publics in international environmental law
- I argue that although international law is state centric in nature, there is a growing body of international environmental law that allows at least some input from public actors in implementing key substantive and procedural obligations. The evolution of these environmental entitlements is linked to the global diffusion of democratic...

- Introduction The early 1990s in post-communist Central and Eastern Europe were a period of unprecedented, large-scale social change. This included a simultaneous transition to democracy and the market under conditions of often severe social-economic hardship, including soaring poverty and unemployment rates and declining industrial output and real wages (UNICEF...

- Human rights and counterterrorism in global governance: reputation and resistance
- Focusing on U.S. and Asian state behavior, and UN and Asia-Pacific organizations, I explore the argument that a reputation for effectiveness in the counterterrorist campaign has become more significant than a reputation for defending human rights. I conclude that only where human rights issues had established a reasonably firm domestic...

- Further notes on the historiography of British Borneo
- Some thirty years ago I prepared "Some Notes on the Historiography of British Borneo," which were included in the Festschrift for D. C. E. Hall, Southeast Asian History and Historiography, edited by C. D. Cowan and O. W. Wolters (1976). Not all the comments I made would I now be...

- Transitions between formations and organisations: an historical perspective on the political representation of Australian farmers
- Introduction A flurry of amalgamations of farm interest groups in the late 1970s produced a peak interest-group structure in the National Farmers' Federation NFF. The formation of the NFF in 1979 signalled a new phase in the political representation of primary producers. It evidenced a clear departure from a...

- Distorted ideals: the "problem of dependency" and the mythology of independent living
- Introduction The ideal of independent living for disabled people, although it has political cachet for a society committed to the values of economic independence and self-reliance, represents an over-simplified distortion of the social experiences of disabled and non-disabled people alike and of the complex moral questions arising out of...

- Coleridge's Francophobia
- It is no secret, nor has it ever been, that Coleridge disliked the French. The 'Gall contra Gallos' (1) that he had once joked about with Poole was really a deep-seated repugnance for an entire people, culpable not only for Jacobinism and aggression but also for bad manners and bad...

- The Sovereignless State and Locke's Language of Obligation.
- Modern liberal states are founded on individual rights and popular sovereignty. These doctrines are conceptually and historically intertwined but are in theoretical and practical tension. Locke's political theory is a source for proponents of both doctrines, and the same tension that runs through modern liberal thought...

- Christianity and Republicanism: a response to Nederman.(response to Cary J. Nederman, in this issue, p. 913)
- Christianity and republicanism have been closely allied in history. However, the characteristics of Christian republicanism ought not be judged by selected readings of late medieval literature alone. To garner an accurate depiction, researchers should consider the societal influences throughout different eras. Thus, the statement that medieval Christian ideology was monarchical...

- Aristotle's place in the history of natural rights
- That Aristotle has a place in the history of natural rights would not have seemed a startling proposition a hundred years ago. Ernest Barker declared in 1906 that for Aristotle, "the life-breath of the State . . . is a justice which assures to each his rights, enforces on all...
