Phelp's Paper on the Bering Sea Controversy: In Harpers' Magazine for April 1891 Not full: because it simply ignores, where it does not pervert, the most important geographical and documentary facts, and the most elementary legal axioms. Not clear: because it is wordy to tediousness, Often illogical, and sometimes faulty in construction and grammar. The Professor in his next sentence is quite as obscure and puzzling as Mr. Blaine at his worst. If in this position he Mr, Blaine is right, it is the end Of the case. Because it brings these waters, as against Great Britain at least, within the territorial jurisdiction Of the United States, not by Meir geo grafiln'cal situation alone but by the treaties (h. M. 7 This is an intima tion that there is something about the geographical conditions of Bering Sea which of itself would or should give us the jurisdiction over it. The situation of that sea is between shores belonging to two difl'erent nations. In con figuration it is not separated from the Pacific Ocean by a barrier of land pierced only by channels narrow enough for defence from on shore, but this sea forms an integral part of said ocean, with which it is connected by numerous very wide channels through the chain of the Aleutian Islands, and west of these by an uninterrupted expanse of Open sea of more than 500 nauti cal miles in width. In situation and in configuration, then, Bering Sea does not possess those qualities which in international law are the conditions sine qua non of a closed sea, and which alone give a title to national jurisdiction over such waters. If Mr. Phelps knows of any other geographical character istles, even aside from situation, which have such an effect in law, he ought in fairness to enlighten an ignorant world by a full explanation, and not to slur over so important a matter with a mere implication. Mr. Blaine would be very thankful for such information, as it might ensure a diplomatic success. The want of this information has forced him to disavow fervently all thoughts of claiming Bering Sea as one closed from shore to shore, and to content himself with the make-shift of its partial closing, over a belt of one hundred, or even sixty miles only from the shores. If the old hard and fast rules, uniform for all nations, concerning closed seas, the freedom Of the seas, and the pursuit on these of wild animals, have been outgrown by the world, there ought to be substituted for these rules, new ones, somewhat on the plan of the old, sliding scale, establishing the precise territorial shore belts in conformity with the varying width Of channels between seas and oceans, the varying value of a nation's interest or property in the different kinds of wild animals, and the varying degree of domesticity or vagrancy of the differ ent kinds of such creatures. The successful working out of such a problem might not be less difficult than the squaring Of the circle, but it would proba bly have the same fascination for certain minds. It would be interesting to know whether this part of Mr. Blaine's argument recommends itself as much to the Professor as that part relating to the effects of the treaties, and if so, on what juristical grounds.

Download or read book The End of Development written by Andrew Brooks and published by Zed Books Ltd.. This book was released on 2017-05-15 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why did some countries grow rich while others remained poor? Human history unfolded differently across the globe. The world is separated in to places of poverty and prosperity. Tracing the long arc of human history from hunter gatherer societies to the early twenty first century in an argument grounded in a deep understanding of geography, Andrew Brooks rejects popular explanations for the divergence of nations. This accessible and illuminating volume shows how the wealth of ‘the West’ and poverty of ‘the rest’ stem not from environmental factors or some unique European cultural, social or technological qualities, but from the expansion of colonialism and the rise of America. Brooks puts the case that international inequality was moulded by capitalist development over the last 500 years. After the Second World War, international aid projects failed to close the gap between ‘developed’ and ‘developing’ nations and millions remain impoverished. Rather than address the root causes of inequality, overseas development assistance exacerbate the problems of an uneven world by imposing crippling debts and destructive neoliberal policies on poor countries. But this flawed form of development is now coming to an end, as the emerging economies of Asia and Africa begin to assert themselves on the world stage. The End of Development provides a compelling account of how human history unfolded differently in varied regions of the world. Brooks argues that we must now seize the opportunity afforded by today’s changing economic geography to transform attitudes towards inequality and to develop radical new approaches to addressing global poverty, as the alternative is to accept that impoverishment is somehow part of the natural order of things.

Download or read book Minds Make Societies written by Pascal Boyer and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2018-05-08 with total page 393 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A scientist integrates evolutionary biology, genetics, psychology, economics, and more to explore the development and workings of human societies. “There is no good reason why human societies should not be described and explained with the same precision and success as the rest of nature.” Thus argues evolutionary psychologist Pascal Boyer in this uniquely innovative book. Integrating recent insights from evolutionary biology, genetics, psychology, economics, and other fields, Boyer offers precise models of why humans engage in social behaviors such as forming families, tribes, and nations, or creating gender roles. In fascinating, thought-provoking passages, he explores questions such as: Why is there conflict between groups? Why do people believe low-value information such as rumors? Why are there religions? What is social justice? What explains morality? Boyer provides a new picture of cultural transmission that draws on the pragmatics of human communication, the constructive nature of memory in human brains, and human motivation for group formation and cooperation. “Cool and captivating…It will change forever your understanding of society and culture.”—Dan Sperber, co-author of The Enigma of Reason “It is highly recommended…to researchers firmly settled within one of the many single disciplines in question. Not only will they encounter a wealth of information from the humanities, the social sciences and the natural sciences, but the book will also serve as an invitation to look beyond the horizons of their own fields.”—Eveline Seghers, Evolutionary Studies in Imaginative Culture
