Law, power and force in an unbalanced world
No full text© Cambridge University Press 2005. Introduction: Hilaire McCoubrey and I collaborated extensively during his time at Hull, producing a co-authored book and a number of journal articles. Though identified with different disciplines and working in different departments, our work together benefited immeasurably from our shared view of the way in which the world works, particularly the complex interplay between legal and political issues. A prodigious legal scholar, Hilaire was also acutely sensitive to the broader political context within which legal mechanisms operate. He understood international law to be a process through which states seek political objectives, while at the same time operating to shape the nature of such objectives and the means through which they might be pursued. I am indebted to Hilaire for the wisdom and knowledge he shared with me, and it is a matter of great sadness and regret that his untimely death deprived the field of international humanitarian law of one of its leading scholars and more personally the opportunity for the two of us to realize our plans for future joint ventures. This chapter draws in part on the McCoubrey Memorial Lecture which I was honoured to deliver in May 2003, though it has been significantly amended to account for changed context and intervening events. In the broadest sense it seeks to shed light on issues raised by many of the other contributors to this volume, particularly those discussed by Nigel White, though as befitting our respective disciplinary foci, it does so from a somewhat different perspective
Also By The Same Author: AKTiveAuthor, a Citation Graph Approach to Name Disambiguation
No full textThe desire for definitive data and the semantic web drive for inference over heterogeneous data sources requires co-reference resolution to be performed on those data. In particular, name disambiguation is required to allow accurate publication lists, citation counts and impact measures to be determined. This paper describes a graph-based approach to author disambiguation on large-scale citation networks. Using self-citation, co-authorship and document source analyses, AKTiveAuthor clusters papers, achieving precision of 0.997 and recall of 0.818 over a test group of eight surname clusters
Ep. #181 - Nigel Clark
No full textThis recording and transcript form part of a collection of podcasts conducted by the Cultures of Energy at Rice University. Cultures of Energy brings writers, artists and scholars together to talk, think and feel their way into the Anthropocene. We cover serious issues like climate change, species extinction and energy transition. But we also try to confront seemingly huge and insurmountable problems with insight, creativity and laughter.Cymene and Dominic discuss a strange effort to police sugar packet play on this week’s podcast. Then (15:52) we are delighted to welcome Nigel Clark to the conversation. Nigel is Chair of Social Sustainability and Human Geography at Lancaster University (https://www.lancaster.ac.uk/lec/about-us/people/nigel-clark ). He is the author of Inhuman Nature: Sociable Life on a Dynamic Planet (2011) and co-editor of Atlas: Geography, Architecture and Change in an Interdependent World (2012), Material Geographies (2008) and Extending Hospitality(2009). We start things off by talking about a new book he is working on called The Anthropocene and Societythat he is working on with Bron Szerszynski and what it means to rethink humanity through planetary strata, flows, and multiplicity. We turn from there to Australian feminism, phosphates, Aotearoa New Zealand as a space of settler grassland experiments, wealth, and geocide. Then we touch on fire and its excess, our brittle life on an earth’s surface caught between solar and geothermal vitalities, metamorphosis, the early connection between gunpowder and combustion engines and European geotrauma. A special birthday week shout-out to our very own eternal Cymene Howe :
