A Fig Leaf for Action: Critical perspectives on Youth Policy in the UK
No full textThis paper discusses the changing approaches that governments in the UK have adopted in response to youth issues and the extent to which these are reflected in dominant social constructions of youth. Our discussion offers a perspective on youth policy in the UK in 2014 set within an historical context with a particular focus on policy from England. We outline the debates and issues facing youth policy as a result of the opportunities and tensions created by recent transformations of local authority services and changes to the way in which youth work is funded and consider the implications of this for young people. Finally we consider some of the key elements to youth policy in the current era of austerity.
The picture of youth policy in the UK highlights the extent to which ideological crusades based on moral panics and deficit models of youth have given rise to a stream of policies which have successively failed to connect with the lives of young people whilst redirecting the blame onto young people themselves. We argue that constantly changing and underfunded initiatives have done little more than provide a ‘fig leaf’ to provide the illusion that something is being done
Henry Percy, first earl of Northumberland: ambition, conflict and cooperation in late mediaeval England
No full textThis thesis examines the political career of Henry Percy, 1st earl of
Northumberland. Chapter one examines the background of the Percy
family, and Henry Percy's career in the years leading to his elevation to
the earldom of Northumberland. Chapter two considers his
relationships with John of Gaunt and the Neville family both at times of
crisis and during times of relative stability. It also examines his
relationship with the wider political community in the north of England
and his role on the Scottish border during the late fourteenth century.
Chapter three focuses on the turbulent years of 1399-1403. It offers
new interpretations of Percy's participation in the revolution of 1399
and in the events leading to the 1403 rebellion led by his son Henry
'Hotspur'. Chapter four traces the final years of Percy's life from 1404-8.
It re-interprets the events leading to his flight to Scotland in 1405, his
years there, in Wales and on the continent and his final, fatal return to
England in 1408

Reproducing Domination: On the Caribbean Postcolonial State
No full textReproducing Domination: On the Caribbean Postcolonial State collects thirteen key essays on the Caribbean by Percy C. Hintzen, the foremost political sociologist in Anglophone Caribbean studies. For the past forty years, Hintzen has been one of the most articulate and discerning critics of the postcolonial state in Caribbean scholarship, making seminal contributions to the study of Caribbean politics, sociology, political economy, and diaspora studies. His work on the postcolonial elites in the region, first given full articulation in his book The Costs of Regime Survival: Racial Mobilization, Elite Domination, and Control of the State in Guyana and Trinidad, is unparalleled.
Reproducing Domination contains some of Hintzen’s most important Caribbean essays over a twenty-five-year period, from 1995 to the present. These works have broadened and deepened his earlier work in The Costs of Regime Survival to encompass the entire Anglophone Caribbean; interrogated the formation and consolidation of the postcolonial Anglophone Caribbean state; and theorized the role of race and ethnicity in Anglophone Caribbean politics. Given the recent global resurgence of interest in elite ownership patterns and their relationship to power and governance, Hintzen’s work assumes even more resonance beyond the shores of the Caribbean. This groundbreaking volume serves as an important guide for those concerned with tracing the consolidation of power in the new elite that emerged following flag independence in the 1960s.
