Playing with Fire: Understanding the Sunni-Shi'a Sectarian Lifecycle
No full textThis article discusses the ingrained impediments which are likely to stifle India's rise and growth - a phenomenon which has figured prominently in scholarly and official assessments, in India and outside, for over a decade now. Intriguingly India's rise as a global power has already been adjudged a certainty in these assessments, but the author contends that there exists an apparent disjuncture between how the world sees India and the prevailing internal impediments. Therefore, any assessment of India as a global power without incorporating these impediments would be incomplete, misplaced and hyperbolic. Of late, in the light of India's growing internal and external socio-economic and political difficulties, more and more writings and proclamations by Indian and international experts indicate emerging scepticism over India's potential as a global power. This paper takes a rollcall of India's internal impediments including, human development, institutional and security challenges which according to the author have already begun restraining India's global ascent.Griffith Business School, Griffith Asia InstituteFull Tex

J. A. G. Griffith's normative positivism
No full textThis thesis provides a reinterpretation of J. A. G. Griffith’s lecture ‘The Political
Constitution’—a reinterpretation that stresses the commitment Griffith expressed in that
lecture to the normative dimension of legal positivism. I call this normative dimension
‘normative positivism’. Identifying Griffith as a normative positivist serves to clarify a
number of debates surrounding Griffith’s arguments in ‘The Political Constitution’ and
serves to clarify our understanding of the concept that has come to be known in UK
public law scholarship in recent years as ‘political constitutionalism’, of which Griffith
is regarded as a leading exemplar. The thesis argues that Griffith’s political
constitutionalism is best understood as a form of normative positivism and is very
different from some more recent defences of political constitutionalism available in the
scholarly literature. The thesis also considers how the big constitutional questions of the
age in the UK—questions relating, for example, to bills of rights and devolution—play
out in the light of our discovery and appreciation of Griffith’s normative positivism
