TL;DR: In this article, the authors argue that a proper understanding of the role of institutions involved in teacher education requires a fuller examination of the political context in which they operate than is attempted in the three preceding papers.
Abstract: This article argues that a proper understanding of the role of institutions involved in teacher education requires a fuller examination of the political context in which they operate than is attempted in the three preceding papers. It is suggested that teacher educators are often politically naive about the way they are controlled by government agencies. A detailed analysis of the General Teaching Council for Scotland is offered to support the view that educational ‘policy communities’ are established and manipulated as a way of managing consent. The establishment of so‐called ‘independent’ professional bodies is seen as an exercise in political control, bureaucratic expansionism and professional protectionism.

TL;DR: The study of evangelical moral reform has become one of the most fruitful areas of research in American religious history as discussed by the authors, and many of these interpretations follow much the same story line: antebellum evangelicals attempted, however nobly or misguidedly, to impose their standards of piety and morality on the American public.
Abstract: The study of evangelical moral reform has become one of the most fruitful areas of research in American religious history. By looking at reform, particularly voluntary societies, social and political historians have acknowledged the cultural importance of religion. Thus, nineteenth-century evangelicals have been recognized for their positive, negative, or ambiguous contributions to American society. Often with great success, historians have expounded and promoted interpretations of social control, capitalist expansionism, and neo-Marxism regarding evangelical social action. Yet, in spite of differing nuances, many of these interpretations follow much the same story line: antebellum evangelicals attempted, however nobly or misguidedly, to impose their standards of piety and morality on the American public. They feared the chaos released by the American and French revolutions.

TL;DR: The Negro Slaves, a play by Archibald MacLaren as mentioned in this paper, was one of the first plays to explore the seeds and fruits of the Scottish Enlightenment as it relates to the British abolitionist movement, the economic shift in overseas trade, and the overall milieu of colonial perception.
Abstract: As the end of the eighteenth century approached, Britain experienced many changes in power and prestige: the American colonies had broken away; the philosophy of expansionism and imperial domination was being attacked from within and without, and the primacy of the British fleet and trade organizations was fast becoming a thing of the past. All of these factors, and others, forced a mood of re-evaluation upon the British government and people. Throughout the empire and its colonies the discussion of the merits and morality of the slave trade, for example, reached previously unheard of proportions, as the newly-rediscovered sciences of free-trade economics, moral philosophy, and cultivation technology turned towards the examination of slavery. Nowhere was this more active and adamant than in the Scottish university cities, which had become the centers of intellectual and scientific thought and practice. Thus it is no surprise to find this thematic focus upon the newly strengthened and emboldened Scottish stage. One manifestation was Archibald MacLaren's The Negro Slaves, a play in which can be found the seeds and fruits of the Scottish Enlightenment as it relates to the British abolitionist movement, the economic shift in overseas trade, and the overall milieu of colonial perception.

TL;DR: In this article, it is shown that the proposed new paradigm should in fact be viewed as a sub-paradigm of the realist one, and that it draws on the idea of "containment", which is now directed to non-Western civilizations.
Abstract: Huntington's proposal of a new paradigm for international politics (focused on the idea of "civilizations"), meant to replace the paradigm of realism, is examined. It is shown that the proposed new paradigm should in fact be viewed as as sub-paradigm of the realist one. In particular, it is pointed out that Huntington's proposal, in a realist vein, draws on the idea of "containment", which is now directed (instead of its former target, the soviet expansionism) to non-Western civilizations.

TL;DR: The Croatian separatist movement, the most important one, assumed a particularly vicious form since it grew on the soil of the racist, anti-Serbian ideology of Ante Starcevic, which developed in Croatia as early as 1860.
Abstract: Disintegration of Yugoslavia was determined by a complex set of internal and external factors, the most important of which was the separatism of several constitutive nations. Yugoslavia suffered from a fatal asymmetry from its very beginning. While Serbia and Montenegro passed through a stage of nation-state in Nineteenth century and were ready for a supra-national community, Croatia and Slovenia lost their independence before 1102 and lived for centuries under Austro-Hungarian Empire. Building independent nation-states became for them a top priority goal, overriding all other political, economic and cultural interests. Croatian separatist movement, the most important one, assumed a particularly vicious form since it grew on the soil of the racist, anti-Serbian ideology of Ante Starcevic, which developed in Croatia as early as 1860. A comparable ground of Muslim separatists was the Islamic fundamentalism of Alija Izetbegovic. The fate of Yugoslavia was sealed with the 1974 Constitution, which turned Yugoslavia into a loose association of six sovereign national republics. Among external factors, the most important ones were: traditional German expansionism toward the South-eastern Slavic regions (which encouraged and supported Croatian and Slovenian separatism Vatican's hostility towards orthodox Serbian people and, since April 1992, open American support for Bosnian Muslims, motivated by American interest in Turkey, the mid-eastern oil and southern Muslim republics of the former USSR.

TL;DR: John Hall graphically recorded the horror of Rwanda but reflected little on its cause and like most of the British press he failed to look at the global problem.
Abstract: EDITOR, - John Hall graphically recorded the horror of Rwanda but reflected little on its cause.1 Like most of the British press he failed to look at the global problem. He could be compared with a reporter describing the horror of the bombing of Dresden by Britain without mentioning German military expansionism or the holocaust. Although they comprise only 15% of the population Tutsis have ruled Rwanda and Burundi and the Hutus (85% of …
