Principles and debates in Iranian foreign policy
This is the author accepted manuscript.The final version is available from the publisher via the link in this record.Despite characterisation of Iran as an ideologically-driven state, expansionist and dominated by Islamic extremism, conventional interests-based pragmatism has been an important element in Iranâs foreign policy, and has often been dominant. Without being uncritical of the Islamic republic, this article explores the ways that revolutionary, pragmatic and nationalist principles have influenced her foreign policy, and concludes that even the revolutionary principle may not necessarily or always be as inimical to the prevailing international system as is sometimes supposed
Poulton, Cheshire: The investigation of a rural chapel in an evolving medieval landscape
This article presents the results of the radiocarbon dating programme and interpretation of a medieval chapel and graveyard in Poulton, Cheshire. The structure was associated with a lost Cistercian Abbey of 12th-13th-century date, which was relocated to Staffordshire after c. 60 years. Extensive excavation has revealed a minimum of 783 interments, interpreted as the remains of the farming community who worked the land after the monksâ departure. The role of the chapel within the early Cistercian landscape has proved enigmatic, although archaeological investigation has enabled a detailed understanding of the development of this ecclesiastical structure. The radiocarbon dating programme has revealed the chronology of the graveyard. By combining this new evidence with the historical record and
archaeological data, an interpretation of the changing role of the chapel within the evolving medieval landscape is presente
The co-operative university: Labour, property and pedagogy
I begin this article by discussing the recent work of academics and activists to identify the advantages and issues relating to co-operative forms of higher education, and then focus on the âworker co-operativeâ
organisational form and its applicability and suitability to the governance of and practices within higher educational institutions.
Finally, I align the values and principles of worker co-ops with the critical pedagogic framework of âStudent as Producerâ. Throughout I employ the work of Karl Marx to theorise the role of labour and property in a âco-operative universityâ, drawing particularly on later Marxist writers who argue that Marxâs labour theory of value should be understood as a critique of labour under capitalism, rather than one developed from the standpoint of labour

markdownabstract__Abstract__
The paper describes the introduction of an emphasis on âpersonal securityâ in human security thinking and practice, as part of the ultimately unsuccessful attempt to compartmentalize the pursuit of security. It reviews the past twenty years of attention to âpersonal securityâ: both in compartments that consider organized physical violence or threats to personal safety and property (âcitizen securityâ), and as parts of more wide-ranging examination of threats to fulfilment of basic needs and rights, for example in comprehensive mapping exercises undertaken in various UNDP Regional and National Human Development Reports or in studies of womenâs security. The paper reflects on the complex process of opening-up conventional security thinking and practice, seeking value-added and depth without shrinking into preconceived compartments
