Annotated bibliography of works by and about Rose Macaulay
No full textThis bibliography will inevitably become incomplete as older publications emerge and new work is published. It consists of annotated entries on all Macaulay’s known published works, on the biographies and volumes of her letters, and on scholarly work published on Macaulay in English (though five works in German are also included), up to December 2016. Macaulay’s books, short stories and plays comprise Section 1, to be consulted in parallel with her essays and contributions to books in Section 2 to gain a sense of her literary preoccupations over time. Section 3 lists her collected letters and the biographical material, Section 4 comprises the critical studies, Section 5 the scholarly articles and book chapters, and Section 6 lists PhD theses on her work

Constructing a public persona: Rose Macaulay’s non-fiction
No full textThis chapter discusses how Macaulay’s non-fictional writing traces her changing self-presentation, and enhances our understanding of how she shaped her career. Unlike the other chapters in this collection, this discussion takes a quantitative approach, since it considers over three hundred essays and contributions to books by Macaulay rather than a small number of her novels. The essays discussed here were published from 1920 until 1958, the year of her death. They show Macaulay’s keen attentiveness to the profession of writing, the mechanics of journalism and the role of the editor in creating and concealing ‘news’. They also reveal a conflict in her relationship with the public
Experiments in Globalising Justice: Emergent Lessons and Future Trajectories
No full textAs trade and production have increasingly crossed international boundaries, private bodies and governments alike have sought new ways to regulate labour standards and advance goals of fairness and social justice. Governments are harnessing social and market forces to advance corporate accountability, while private bodies are employing techniques drawn from command and control regulation to shape the behaviour of business. This collection brings together the research and reflections of a diverse international mix of academics, activists and practitioners in the fields of fair trade and corporate accountability, representing perspectives from both the industrialized and developing worlds. Contributors provide detailed case studies of a range of social justice governance initiatives, documenting the evolution of established strategies of advocacy and social mobilization, and evaluating the strengths and limitations of voluntary initiatives compared with legally enforceable instruments. This Chapter concludes the book, setting up a schema for understanding and differentiating between different types of corporate accountability mechanisms
Re-thinking market governance
No full textThe financial crisis of 2008-9 and the 'Great Recession' that it precipitated highlighted a number of troubling dynamics in contemporary capitalism. Rising financial instability has received particular attention (Obstfeld and Rogoff 2009), as have other social problems such as trends of increased economic inequality (Manning 2011). For many observers, these problems have revealed serious weaknesses in systems of national, regional and global market governance that are linked to the rise of market liberal ideology and a set of and associated policies and practices (Abdelal and Ruggie 2009). The crisis has been heralded as an opportunity for change that would 'embed' markets in public control, establishing new institutional forms that better embody norms of stability, equality, and justice (Sen 2009)
