Along the way, we consider the importance of James Whale, whether the French changed their clocks during the war and the definition of an anti-war play, while Chris makes a bid for the over-arching significance of moustaches to the history of the war.

This episode looks at the collapse of trust between Charles I and anti-Puritan royalists and clerics, on the one hand, and Parliament, Puritans, anti-Catholic Anglicans, and lawyers and others concerned with resisting the expansion of royal power on the other, in the second half of the 1620s. The collision would end in a final and very dramatic session of the House of Commons, and would ultimately persuade tens of thousands of Puritans that they had no choice but to leave England. It would be the catalyst for the Puritan Great Migration to New England. Before we get to any of that, however, we briefly address the Twitter kerfuffle I unwittingly set off with a tweet about a BBC story on Sir Francis Drake, and the circumstances under which I do, and do not, support the renaming of things named after people who have fallen out of favor.

Wo finden sich die Briten nach dem Brexit wieder? Im Rahmen des Herrenhäuser Forums wird darüber diskutiert. To brexit or not to brexit - diese Frage beschäftigte Europa vier Jahre lang. Dann trat Großbritannien zum 1. Februar 2020 aus der EU aus. Insel und Kontinent - das war seit der Gründung der jetzigen Europäischen Union ein schwieriges Verhältnis: Zwei gescheiterte Beitrittsversuche, nationale Referenden und zahlreiche Ausnahmeregelungen zeugen davon. Wieso taten sich beide Seiten so schwer? Die Diskussionen um den Brexit haben auch innenpolitisch Spuren hinterlassen: Das Land ist sozial und regional gespalten und von einem "Vereinigten Königreich" weit entfernt. Wo verlaufen diese Brüche? Wie steht es um das neue alte Verhältnis zum Kontinent? Trägt die Idee der "splendid isolation"? Wo finden sich die Briten nach dem Brexit wieder?

Professor Bill Kissane - The Partition of Ireland in a Global Context

Contributor: Professor Bill Kissane Talk Title: The Partition of Ireland in a Global Context Talk Synopsis: This talk explores partition in an international context and also the similarities and differences between what happened in Ireland and elsewhere, including Cyprus, India and Palestine. It suggests that most partitions are ‘provisional' because they ‘fail to resolve conflicts' and looks at ‘the identity shifts that occur when borders change' and what these meant (and mean) in an Irish context. It looks at how majority rule ‘polarised rather than reconciled' communities in Northern Ireland and the way in which Partition led to ‘consolidation and identity formation based on religion' in the decades that followed. And it concludes by considering what the experience and effect of partition might mean for future attempts to resolve deep-seated territorial  conflicts.

Fireside Chat: Surveying Penn's Map of Governance (Agnès Trouillet)

In her Fireside Chat, Agnès Trouillet examined how the surveying of the city of Philadelphia and the province of Pennsylvania, notably under first Surveyor General Thomas Holme, laid out the map of governance imagined by William Penn. The use of property survey profoundly reshaped the space, ensuring land tenure but also granting proximity and access to the seats of political power. Dr. Agnès Trouillet is an Associate Professor of British Studies at University Paris Nanterre. Her research focuses on contemporary and colonial political history, more specifically on Pennsylvania with which she has a special relationship after having taught four years at the University of Pennsylvania. She is interested in the issue of division as generative of power, and her current project examines the role of William Penn’s settlement design in reshaping space and sovereignty in the Delaware Valley. She has a forthcoming article on the boundary dispute between Pennsylvania and Maryland in the volume from the American Philosophical Society Conference “The Power of Maps and the Politics of Borders.” Dr. Trouillet is currently a fellow at the Library Company of Philadelphia. This chat originally aired at 7:00 p.m. Thursday, March 4, 2021.

Dr. Mrinalini Sinha is the Alice Freeman Palmer professor in the department of history, and professor in the departments of English language and literature, and of women's studies at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. Dr. Sinha has written on various aspects of the political history of colonial India with the focus on anti-colonialism, gender and trans national approaches. Her first book, Colonial Masculinity, the manly Englishman and the effeminate Bengali, sought to combine British and Indian history and brought gender analysis to bear on questions of high politics, to understand a critical moment and the relationship between colonialism and nationalism in India. Her subsequent book, Specters of Mother India, the global restructuring of an empire, explores the post first world war changes in the British empire, especially their implications in India. The book received the Albion Book Prize, awarded annually by the North American Conference on British Studies, and the Joan Kelly Memorial Prize 2007, awarded annually by the American Historical Association. Dr. Sinha has also published widely in journals and in edited collections. She has been a recipient of several fellowships, including from the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation, the Rockefeller Foundation, the National Endowment for the Humanities, the American Institute of Indian Studies, and the American Philosophical Society. Dr. Sinha has also served as a president of the Association of Asian Studies, a scholarly, nonpolitical, nonprofit, professional association, representing all the regions and countries of Asia and all academic disciplines. In this episode Dr. Sinha discusses populist nationalism and its rise globally but especially in the US under Trump and now in India with recent legislature nicknamed 'Love Jihad'. Dr. Sinha reviews Gandhian visions for India and democracy and the fact that Gandhi asserted that Democracy is not just around a shared identity based on ascribed caste, religion, race, but also on a shared understanding of injustice.

What can we know about the social world, and how much of it can we control? How high are the stakes in the battle between positivism and interpretive social science? In this episode of the Governance Podcast, Mark Pennington (King's College London) and Mark Bevir (UC Berkeley) discuss wide-ranging questions about the influence of philosophy and social science on public policy.

Follow Us For more information about our upcoming podcasts and events, follow us on facebook, twitter or instagram (@csgskcl). The Guests Mark Bevir is Professor of Political Science and Director of the Center for British Studies, University of California, Berkeley. He is also Professor of Governance, United Nations University (MERIT) and Distinguished Research Professor, Swansea University. Born and raised in London, Mark moved to Berkeley in January 2000, having worked previously at universities in India and the UK. He has held visiting fellowships in Australia, Finland, France, Germany, India, Italy, Norway, South Korea, UK, and USA. Currently he is the general editor of The Oxford History of Political Thought, and he has been an editor of Journal of the Philosophy of History, associate editor of Journal of Moral Philosophy, President of the Society for the Philosophy of History, and Chair of the Interpretive Politics Group (PSA). Mark has done policy work for governmental organizations in Asia, Europe, and North America, as well as for the United Nations and its agencies. Mark's research interests in political theory include moral philosophy, political philosophy, and history of political thought. His methodological interests cover philosophy of social science, philosophy of history, and history of social science. His work on public policy focuses on organization theory, democratic theory, and governance. Skip Ahead 0:55: I wonder if you could start by what you've been working on most recently, perhaps the book on interpretive social science. 1:55: What is distinctive about the interpretive approach? We have the typical dichotomy between the interpretive or hermeneutic approach to social science and a more positivist view. And positivism is associated with some notion that you can read off almost in a mechanical way people's behaviour by understanding background conditions, whether they're economic incentives… or macro-structural influences. 5:29: It seems to me that if you adopt that approach--- I take the point that there's a difference between particular epistemological foundations for social science and attachment to particular methods—but it seems to me nonetheless that if you do adopt this kind of [interpretive] approach, the implication is, to really get an appreciation of the meanings people attach to their actions or the beliefs they have or the traditions they're situated in, you have to get up close with the actors. You have to try to be in their heads, and that does imply a more ethnographic approach. 8:48: One of the areas where you've applied this interpretive method to great effect is in trying to understand changes in governance relationships, especially within public sector organizations in the last 20-30 years. As I understand it, what your work points to is the influence of a particular set of social scientific beliefs about the problems that face hierarchical forms of state bureaucracy. And your argument is that initially this was questioned from a market-liberal perspective, public choice theory emphasising contracts and markets as an alternative to hierarchy, and then later we have the movement towards joined up governance approaches often associated with New Labour in the UK. And this is another set of social scientific ideas that markets produce excessive fragmentation and they need to be reintegrated in some sense. You make a very powerful claim that essentially it's social scientific ideas that drove this change to the new governance arrangements that we see. Why do you think the actual social science has been important in the shift toward the kind of network governance arrangements we see in the world today? 14:30: You were saying that you're interested in the way in which many of these policy reforms in the public sector have failed, and perhaps connect that to your interpretive method and approach. As I understand your argument, the problem with these various reform agendas, from whatever direction they come, whether it's for markets or network governance or joined up governance, they fail to recognize that the actors who are required to implement the policies are going to be interpreting these policies in different ways, ways that are unpredictable to the actual reformer. Therefore we get all kinds of unintended or emergent outcomes. 18:26: Presumably this would also apply to evidence based public policy… or if you look at the recent focus on randomised control trials, would the kind of critique you're applying transfer to these kind of ideas? 20:30: In your approach as I understand it, you do allow for the idea that there are patterns in the sense that particular traditions knit together in a certain way can create a certain regularity. But what you're saying is there is no inherent necessity for that regularity to be there, that at some point there can be some kind of rupture or change in people's beliefs, maybe some kind of exogenous event that breaks up what look like long-established patterns… It strikes me that would be what could happen to big data. 24:14: I wonder if we could say something about the tendency for social science (and I think arguably for some people this is the case for people who are using big data today) … people very much still believe that good social science should be able to predict in some sense. If we take the view that you're presenting, there seem to be severe limits to our capacity to predict because there are always going to be these unexpected contingencies or developments… The financial crisis was not predicted by most economists and the rise of populist movements was not predicted by most political scientists. Why do you think so many people still want to cling to the notion that good social science is science that predicts? 29:43: What you just said there could be construed as quite critical of an expert-centered view of the world, the idea that there is a body of expertise which understands how societies function and how they can be controlled. In essence what you're saying is that simply isn't the case- other than that people might believe this to be the case. In some of your writings you propose what you call a de-centered approach to public policy. I understand that to be de-centered in two senses. It's de-centered in the sense that you recognize the importance of local contingency, variety, unpredictability. But it's also decentered in the sense that you're wanting to, at least as I understand it, dethrone the power of experts and to empower citizens much more. 37:14: Aren't politicians… almost inevitably going to look for quite simplistic kind of interpretations of what social science might say, or is it reasonable to expect that we could have a more nuanced understanding from politicians who ultimately are still involved in political battles? They're trying to assert the value of their ideas versus what they see to be opposing sets of ideas. 41:24: It strikes me that there's a sort of irony in that one of the things that you point out about Foucault's work is… you emphasise that there needs to be a role for agency, some notion of creativity that people can resist dominant epistemes or forms of governmentality, that there has to be some scope for that in order to explain how change actually happens. 49:05: The centre here is within a department of political economy. So we've got people here from economics, political science and political theory backgrounds. Do you think some of the concepts that you use in the interpretive framework can say something to economists or the types of questions they're interested in? 54:58: Perhaps this is unfair, I'm not sure, but I take to be a pretty significant implication of a lot of what you're saying… is that people are looking for order in the world that really isn't there. But the nature of a lot of social science is to try and find order. Why do you think people are so uncomfortable with the notion that maybe we just can't fully understand what's going on?

Note: Gerry Adams will be giving a public talk in the Civil Rights Room of the Nashville Public Library on Saturday, November 3rd at 10:00am. The talk is open to the public and Gerry invites you to come say hello! For more information, contact Greg O'Loughlin at 615-887-7547 or oloughlin@gmail.com. Gerry Adams has dedicated most of his life to finding an end to the conflict that has engulfed Northern Ireland since his youth. As the President of Sinn Féin, he played a crucial role in facilitating the Good Friday Agreement of 1998, which brought about an end to a three decade-long period of violence known as “The Troubles.” In doing so, he built connections with civil rights leaders from around the world, including Rosa Parks and Nelson Mandela, and learned some valuable lessons about the humanity that connects all people regardless of their race, religion or national origins. In this episode of The Road to Now, Gerry shares his story of struggle and how he found a road to peace at a time when few believed it was possible. Also joining us on today's episode is Ben's friend and colleague, Dr. Mark Doyle, who was kind enough to help explain the history of Northern Ireland and why Gerry Adams was such a crucial figure in that country's history. Mark specializes in Irish history at Middle Tennessee State.
