Sands of empire missionary zeal, American foreign policy, and the hazards of global ambition
No full textIn Sands of Empire, veteran political journalist and award-winning author Robert W. Merry examines the misguided concepts that have fueled American foreign policy since the end of the Cold War. The emergence in the George W. Bush administration of America as Crusader State, bent on remaking the world in its preferred image, is dangerous and self-defeating, he points out. Moreover, these grand-scale flights of interventionism, regime change, and the use of pre-emptive armed force are without precedent in American history. Merry traces the strains of Wilsonism that have now merged into an adventurous and hazardous foreign policy, particularly as described by William Kristol, Francis Fukuyama, Max Boot, and Paul Wolfowitz, among others. He examines the challenge of Samuel Huntington's supposition that the clash of civilizations defines present and future world conflict. And he rejects the notion of The New York Times's Thomas L. Friedman that America is not only the world's role model for globally integrated free-market capitalism, but that it has a responsibility to foster, support, and sustain globalization worldwide. From the first president Bush to Clinton to the second Bush presidency, the United States has compromised its global leadership, endangered its security, and failed to meet the standard of justified intervention, Merry suggests. The country must reset its global strategies to protect its interests and the West's, to maintain stability in strategic areas, and to fight radical threats, with arms if necessary.

Capitalising on the Big Data era: establishing a multi-source monitoring framework for England's natural capital assets and flows
No full textThe past decade has seen a growth of natural capital accounting both internationally and
nationally. The term natural capital refers to the elements of nature that directly and indirectly
produce value or benefits to people, including ecosystems, species, freshwater, land, minerals,
the air and oceans, as well as natural processes and functions (Natural Capital Committee
2014). As an approach it emphasises the process of valuation, namely estimating the relative
importance, worth, or usefulness of natural capital to people, typically to enable better
governance. In this thesis, I explore the potential of big data and associated techniques to
operationalise the natural capital framework at a national scale in England, through a better
understanding of the relationship between natural capital assets and the benefits that flow
from them. I take an interdisciplinary approach, using the literature review in Chapter 1 to
identify key gaps in the state of the art, and addressing these gaps in the following chapters,
finishing with a discussion of the implications of these findings in the final chapter (Chapter
5). The results from this thesis demonstrate how diverse and emerging environmental datasets
can capture important aspects of sociocultural value that are otherwise hard to include in a
formal valuation process (Chapter 2), enable spatially targeted management (Chapter 3), and
facilitate natural capital monitoring (Chapter 4). In Chapter 2, I demonstrate the potential of
crowdsourced data to capture the sociocultural value of designated areas and show that
species richness has a significant positive effect on public interest in designated areas. In
Chapter 3, I show that population density is a driver of the relative importance of agricultural
land use as a source of N and P in river catchments in England. In Chapter 3, I demonstrate
that significant dependency exists between the quantity, quality and spatial configuration of
green spaces in London, and that there is potential to maintain highly biodiverse areas in
cities, without assigning large areas to this. Taken together, these results realise some of the
potential of the big data era to support the natural capital framework and its implementation,
as well as pointing to some of the limitations of this approach

Response to Michael Merry\u27s Citizenship, structural inequality and the political elite

However, he extends the scope of his criticism to include schooling and education in general. While the author agrees with his criticisms of CE specifically, he disagrees with his more generalised criticisms of education. (DIPF/Orig.
Heraldic Imagery in Seventeenth-Century English Poetry
No full textThe significance of heraldic references in literature has been the subject of both antiquarian interest and recent scholarship. In the field of seventeenth-century poetry, there exists a small body of published work concerned with the use of heraldry by William Shakespeare, Ben Jonson and Jolin Cleveland. The aim of this thesis is to demonstrate the existence and significance of heraldic references in a wider range of seventeenth-century verse and poetry. It eschews assumptions regarding the use of heraldry by, or with reference to, a narrow social elite, and examines heraldic references published in broadsheets and used in songs, as well as in the privately- circulated manuscripts of the nobility. Chapter One offers a critical examination of a range of current scholarship concerned with heraldic readings of literature. Chapter Two demonstrates that formal heraldic references, affirming or celebrating their subject’s identity, were used in diverse genres, including dedicatory verses, encomia, epitaphs, elegies, epithalamia and anagrams. Chapter Three determines the social implications of the use of heraldry, with particular reference to epic and satirical verse, arguing that heraldic references in this period develop beyond their traditional, chivalric associations. Chapter Four discusses those works that include heraldic references as expressions of authority or political power, and considers their use in different contexts to affirm or undermine the position of individuals and groups within society. Chapter Five establishes the use of heraldry within religious or spiritual poetry and addresses whether its vocabulary was regarded as an expression of particular Christian values. Chapter Six explores the engagement of women writers with heraldry and considers how far their use of the language offered a challenge to the prevailing patriarchal culture. The Conclusion draws attention to the significance of the evolution of heraldry from the seventeenth century to the present day
