Blackshirt: Sir Oswald Mosley and British Fascism
No full textHated and adored, trusted and feared, respected and scorned – public opinion has never been indifferent to Sir Oswald Mosley. A brilliant politician, Mosley turned his back on conventional party politics to found, in 1932, the British Union of Fascists. Over the intervening years until now, many have worked hard to guard Mosley’s reputation but Blackshirt casts new light on the man. The author reveals the true nature of Mosley's relationship with the Nazis, and challenges the prevailing view of Mosley’s descent into anti-Semitism. With ground-breaking research and extensive use of archive material Dorril uncovers a bizarre set of characters and behind-the-scenes friends and colleagues who supported Mosley – the crooks, swindlers, political and royal figures, secret agents, Nazi spies, lovers and ‘crackpots’. Blackshirt is an important and controversial new biography that overturns many of the accepted ideas about Oswald Mosley and British Fascism
Foreign Aid: Its Defense and Reform
No full textEconomic aid to developing countries is an important—and often controversial—part of foreign policy for many Western nations. But how effective is such aid in achieving the objectives of the giver and the recipient? In this important study, Paul Mosley offers a challenging reassessment of the role of economic aid for nations on both sides of the equation.
Mosley examines in detail the foreign aid programs of the leading Western powers with particular regard to the role of aid in international politics, and then examines the effectiveness of aid as a subsidy to exports, as an instrument of development, and as a means of redistributing income and bargaining power to the very poor.
Mosley also incorporates overseas aid into the general economic theory of public expenditure. He examines the various protagonists on the supply side of the market for aid expenditures and in particular those on the demand side. Supporting this analysis of ways in which the aid market adjusts over time are extensive data from the OECD countries for the past thirty years.
With its searching assessment of the effectiveness of foreign aid as an instrument of dogmatic and economic policy, Mosley\u27s new book will be essential reading for all students in the field of international relations.
Paul Mosley, professor of development economics and policy at the University of Manchester, is the author of The Settler Economies and The Making of Economic Policy.
An excellent, succinct study, perhaps the best book written on foreign aid in recent years. —Foreign Service Journal

Particle aggregation, pH changes and metal behaviour during estuarine mixing: review and integration
No full textEstuaries are dynamic mixing zones where river water interacts with seawater, resulting in large and complex geochemical changes. How two key factors, particle aggregation and pH, affect metal behaviour in estuaries is reviewed and integrated in this paper. Riverine particles are coated with organic matter and electrostatic repulsive forces restrict aggregation. In estuaries, increased concentrations of divalent cations reduce the repulsive forces between particles at low salinities, resulting in their rapid coagulation and removal of particulate-associated metals (e.g. Fe and Pb). However, truly dissolved metals may mix conservatively, and metals associated more with colloidal and dissolved organic material (e.g. Cu and Zn) can show variable behaviour. In many field studies and modelling of river inputs with different compositions, pH decreases slightly at low salinity. Geochemical model simulations of dissolved metal speciation indicated that Zn would be desorbed from iron oxide binding surfaces due to these pH and cation concentration changes, with Cu also showing less binding to dissolved organic matter (DOM). DOM, pH and particle surfaces can influence individual metal behaviour at various spatial and temporal scales. Further integrated field and laboratory research in estuaries where key geochemical processes affecting metal concentrations are measured and modelled is needed.Luke M. Mosley and Peter S. Lis

A tale of two courses: exploring the relationship between identity, modern language, and career aspirations of undergraduate students in language for specific purposes classrooms
No full textThis study concerns itself with how identity, modern language, and career aspirations function on a micro-level and macro-level as it pertains to the Trump administration. Through two language for specific purpose (LSP) classrooms, questions explore personal identity, Spanish major and minor connections, and how Spanish connects to career aspirations. This also explores the professor’s perspective with her personal identity, Spanish connection, and experience as a professor of Spanish teaching students in these LSP courses. Based on sixteen semi-structured interviews with seven students and one professor, observations, and my experience as a modern language learner, a key finding is that language is political and complex as it lends itself to how students view themselves and their interests in the future. This finding has implications for the creation of LSP courses as well as better practices for academic/career advising, teaching, and the increased enrollment of language learners.Submission published under a 24 month embargo labeled 'U of I Access', the embargo will last until 2019-08-01The student, Robin Mosley Vaughan, accepted the attached license on 2017-07-10 at 12:33.The student, Robin Mosley Vaughan, submitted this Dissertation for approval on 2017-07-10 at 12:43.This Dissertation was approved for publication on 2017-07-12 at 15:24.DSpace SAF Submission Ingestion Package generated from Vireo submission #11367 on 2017-09-29 at 10:46:50Made available in DSpace on 2017-09-29T17:45:10Z (GMT).
