Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Empire Review and Journal of British Trade, Vol. 32: February, 1918 For the second time in the space of a little more than twelve months Australia has been plunged in the maelstrom Of con scription. Again, the Commonwealth has pronounced against the issue, and on this occasion the negative vote has been substantially increased. The size of the adverse majority is surprising. To the Government it must have been an intense disappointment, for it can scarcely be supposed that the Ministry would have embarked on another campaign unless they were fortified with reasonable prospects of a favourable result. If it is to be interpreted as a pronouncement that the Commonwealth is war-weary, it is a deep humiliation to every Australian as well as every well wisher of that young country. Again, this announcement came at a juncture when the Entente Powers were suffering from the effect of the military stagnation of the Russians, and had not yet recovered from the unfortunate recent developments in Italy. The news may well have been a cause of irritation to the British Government. If sharp criticism had been directed against the Commonwealth, Australians could hardly have complained; but little has been said by the press or public men. Everybody regrets the circum stances, but nothing savouring of reproach or bitterness has been heard; and I, in common with many other Australians, feel the deepest gratitude to the people in this country for the generous manner in which they have viewed the recurrence of this unpleasant episode in our national life.

This book was released on 2016-12-27 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Empire Review and Journal of British Trade, 1920, Vol. 34 The fantastic elements of the advanced Labour programme were admirably illustrated in the election address of the Labour candidate for Spen Valley. His proposals for Ireland and India would certainly lead to the Separation of both these countries from the Empire. But his economic ideals were even more remarkable. He would nationalise the mines and the railways, insist on the Government spending at least 200 millions on housing, and would make the State responsible for the main tenance Of every child during its period Of education. He would have the land for the people, mothers' pensions, larger increases in Old Age pensions and other costly proposals, which in the aggregate would demand an expenditure of several thousands of millions Of pounds. He would raise this sum and pay Off the National Debt at once by a levy on capital, a proposition economically impossible. All this hazy magniloquence is due to the venerable fable that there is a bottomless reservoir Of Government money and Capital from'which the wildest schemes and the most comprehensive reforms can be financed. To get into Parliament on such a programme is to Obtain votes by false pretences. Such fantasies should be ruthlessly exposed and analysed by all who have the Opportunity Of doing so.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Empire Review and Journal of British Trade, 1916, Vol. 29 WE are all unhappily only too familiar With the subject of my observations. This will exempt me from troubling my readers with too many details. I will, therefore, plunge in medias res, and I am quite sure they will understand Why I adopt this method of treatment. The Germans could have gone from their own country directly into France, but not so easily, they thought, as through Belgium. Consequently they made Belgium the door-mat for the German jack-boots, desolated that fair land, laying waste its countryside, burning its towns and villages, Slaying men, women, and children, and destroying the finest treasures of art and architecture. There is nothing more Wicked and Shameless in all the Records of War. Nor is there anything more heroic than the magnificent, though unequal, resistance of the Belgian King and the Belgian people.

Download or read book Empire and the Making of Native Title written by Bain Attwood and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2020-07-16 with total page 457 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a new approach to the historical treatment of indigenous peoples' sovereignty and property rights in Australia and New Zealand. By shifting attention from the original European claims of possession to a comparison of the ways in which British players treated these matters later, Bain Attwood not only reveals some startling similarities between the Australian and New Zealand cases but revises the long-held explanations of the differences. He argues that the treatment of the sovereignty and property rights of First Nations was seldom determined by the workings of moral principle, legal doctrine, political thought or government policy. Instead, it was the highly particular historical circumstances in which the first encounters between natives and Europeans occurred and colonisation began that largely dictated whether treaties of cession were negotiated, just as a bitter political struggle determined the significance of the Treaty of Waitangi and ensured that native title was made in New Zealand.

Download or read book Environmental Democracy written by Michael Mason and published by Earthscan. This book was released on 2012 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Through a wide range of case studies, Mason reveals just how sensitive we all must be to styles of power, vulnerability and resilience in any democratic transition to sustainability. This is a fine book.' Timothy O'Riordan, Professor of Environmental Science, University of East Anglia, and Associate Director, Centre for Social and Economic Research on the Global Environment. Civic self-determination and ecological sustainability are widely accepted as two of the most important public goals. This book explains how they can be combined. Using vivid and telling case studies from around the world, it shows how liberal rights can include both ecological and social conditions for collective decision-making - environmentalist goals and social justice can be achieved together. Integrating theory and original case studies, the book makes a very significant contribution to the fundamentals of how environmental democracy can be advanced at all levels. Cogently argued and engaged, Environmental Democracy provides a superb teaching text and a source of ideas and persuasive arguments for the politically and environmentally engaged. It will be essential reading for students, teachers and researchers in politics, policy studies, environmental studies, geography and social science.
Download or read book British Paternalism and Africa 1920 1940 written by Penelope Hetherington and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-11-06 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: British Paternalism and Africa (1978) is a study of the beliefs and assumptions of members of the British intelligentsia who concerned themselves with British–African politics in the period between the wars. The journals and books published in Britain during this period were used as source material to discover the attitudes of politicians, missionaries, administrators and others concerning ‘African’ issues. In the two decades before the Second World War the debate about the future of the African colonies still seemed to be the preserve of Europeans, anxious to influence British politics according to their own particular brand of paternalism. It is argued that some writers still used arguments about Britain’s ‘civilizing’ mission, while others emphasised the need for a period of reconstruction of African society, to be carried out before independence could be granted. Only the Marxist-Leninist writers rejected doctrines which implied the necessity for continued European presence in Africa.

Download or read book Trading Spaces written by Emma Hart and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2024-07-06 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When we talk about the economy, “the market” is often just an abstraction. While the exchange of goods was historically tied to a particular place, capitalism has gradually eroded this connection to create our current global trading systems. In Trading Spaces, Emma Hart argues that Britain’s colonization of North America was a key moment in the market’s shift from place to idea, with major consequences for the character of the American economy. Hart’s book takes in the shops, auction sites, wharves, taverns, fairs, and homes of seventeenth- and eighteenth-century America—places where new mechanisms and conventions of trade arose as Europeans re-created or adapted continental methods to new surroundings. Since those earlier conventions tended to rely on regulation more than their colonial offspring did, what emerged in early America was a less-fettered brand of capitalism. By the nineteenth century, this had evolved into a market economy that would not look too foreign to contemporary Americans. To tell this complex transnational story of how our markets came to be, Hart looks back farther than most historians of US capitalism, rooting these markets in the norms of seventeenth- and eighteenth-century Britain. Perhaps most important, this is not a story of specific commodity markets over time but rather is a history of the trading spaces themselves: the physical sites in which the grubby work of commerce occurred and where the market itself was born.
