Democratic politics and drug law reform
Authors: Seddon Toby 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
In the second of two chapters examining the politics of the ‘drug question’, this chapter explores what a ‘better’ politics of drugs would look like and how we might achieve it. It examines different approaches to normative thinking (propositions about how the world should be) and reviews the debate on ‘public social science’. It then considers ways in which drug politics could be democratised, not only through creating more spaces for democratic deliberation but also by ‘thinking democratically’ in a broader sense. It goes on to argue for the necessity of developing a cosmopolitan vision of politics which moves beyond Western-centrism. It concludes by summarising what has been learned across this pair of chapters, suggesting the need to amplify the voices of those who most directly experience the punitive edge of prohibition especially in the Global South.
Comedy of Eros
Authors: Goodrich Peter 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
One incident of the reality effect of images is that of the introduction of the comedic and corporeal into judgements in a visible form. The image enacts and theatricalizes the subjects of decision, and these pictorial displays bring with them elements of farce and satire, laughter and lampoon. The judiciary are neither immune to the allure of humour as alleviation of the boredom of trial, nor do they always resist the desire to pillory litigants who, in their view, have misbehaved. Subtending the depiction of bodies and their foibles is also on occasion an erotic drive commensurate with the older senses of histrions and players mingling with their auditors and here viewers.
Evidential Expositions
Authors: Goodrich Peter 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
Particularly in the areas of tort, crime, copyright and patents, the image relayed in judgement is the evidence of the event judged. Identificatory photographs, accident scene pictures, assault weapons, CCTV footage of criminal acts, and depictions of infringed designs and artworks are the subject matter of decision, they are what is judged. Pictures used as evidence are surprisingly often read literally and are assumed legally to directly depict what is shown. The assumption that the medium representing the denoted person or event does so immediately and without remediation, interpretation, or alteration, either aesthetic or cognitive, belies a naïve realism in viewing. The courts proceed by way of analogy to texts, as if text and picture are the same, and as if what is shown is what is there without sensory interruption or optical incision. While considerable attention is paid to the question of edits or cuts as illicit interferences in evidential representation, the questions of perspective, context, colour, and affect of appearance are often overlooked.
Mocking Modernisms
Authors: Davison Sarah 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
Chapter 4 investigates the culture of parody in little magazines, where parody was used to conduct ideological debates concerning the aesthetic qualities and moral probity proper to modern literature. It explores the extent to which parodies of modernism defined the popular understanding of the movement, before opening out to consider the Spectra hoax, whereby parodies of modernist writing were passed off as genuine articles to a credulous public. Contestations between Pound and Beatrice Hastings and also between Pound, William Carlos Williams, and Elsa von Freytag-Loringhoven then provide case studies that attest to the intensity of the ideological battles fought through parody and its creative role as a spur to further literary experimentation.
‘A Moqueur to the Marrow’
Authors: Davison Sarah 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
While parody was enmeshed in modernist thinking from its earliest stages, it was not until high modernism that the full, multilayered, philosophical, and literary applications of parody came to the fore as a palimpsestual means towards a complex historical critique. Chapter 5 focuses on T. S. Eliot, whom Lewis described as ‘a moqueur to the marrow’. It explores Eliot’s career as a parodist, starting with his parodies of different genres and voices in early comic writings such as ‘Effie the Waif’, his ‘Brilliants’, and the King Bolo verses. It proceeds to evaluate the shaping role that Pound and Eliot’s ideas about parody, imitation, and historicity played in the composition of The Waste Land, setting Eliot’s use of parody in the light of the practices of writers such as Jules Laforgue, Tristan Tzara, James Joyce, John Dryden, and Alexander Pope. It concludes with reflections on the jeux d’esprit Eliot wrote to amuse his friends in later life and the perils of self-parody.
‘Councillors at the casino’
Authors: Pike Andy 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
Critical characterizations depict ‘councillors at the casino’ in England since 2010 taking risky gambles with public money and essential local services in a financialized setting. New, innovative approaches and arrangements different to tried-and-tested local government strategies and practices have been formulated and deployed by politicians and officers in attempts to make savings and generate income to balance budgets in response to the UK government’s austerity from 2010. Commercial finance actors have been drawn to reconstruct the local municipal finance market with new products and services. Situating the experience of local governments in England since 2010 in international perspective, emergent concerns are outlined about the purpose and financial strategies of local government, its use of taxpayers’ money, and implications for local public service provision and democracy. The alleged return of local governments in England to the casino is described and explained as evidence of the financialization of the local state. Addressing gaps in understanding, the book aims to develop local statecraft theory to explain how, why, where, and when local governments are—and are not—engaging the relations and process of financialization. This new theorization provides the framework to account for the experiences of local councillors, officers, commercial financiers, and external advisors navigating austerity and financialization in England since 2010.
Financialization and local statecraft
Authors: Pike Andy 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
Caution is needed against generalized assessments of rampant financialization of the local state and characterizations of gung-ho elected local politicians and appointed officers staking local taxpayers’ money in the casinos of finance capital and imperilling local public service provision. Differentiated landscapes demand a wider frame and more balanced account, prompting reflection on our explanatory concepts and theoretical frameworks. Existing studies of financialization, local government, and the local state are marked by a national focus, narrow empirical range, limited attention to geographical and temporal diversity and system-wide views, and underdeveloped treatment of ramifications. Addressing emanant (auto-)critique, local statecraft is defined and conceptualized. It is grounded within a theorization of the state which endows local government with distinctive local statehood attributes that underpin its powers and resources as an economic and financial actor. Hitherto missing but key distinctions are drawn between financial and local statecraft, municipal and commercial worlds of finance and risk, and commercialization and financialization. The specific actors involved in local statecraft—the local statecrafters—and their rationales are explained alongside identification of the realms examined in the book and the geographical and temporal settings of their manifestation by local governments in England since 2010. The research strategy, methodology, and design for the empirical research underpinning the book closes the chapter.
Funding and financing local government in England
Authors: Pike Andy 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
Situated within the UK state, local government in England lacks constitutional or legislative protection. It is a creature of the national government and Parliament, operating in a highly centralized and evolving system of central–local relations. Integral to local statecraft, this status strongly defines local government’s powers, functions, and politics. The local government system is inherently diverse across England. It has evolved incrementally, punctuated by periods of radical reorganization, from the ‘sovereign council’ through ‘new public management’ (NPM) to ‘networked governance’. Funding and financing are complex, fragmented, and highly centralized. Budgeting, expenditure, income, balance sheets, and accountability work in distinctive ways. Key processes shape local government’s evolution with implications for its funding and financing. Centralization concentrates powers and resources at the national level. Repeated modernization efforts involve experiments with new organizational models. Continued pressure forfewer, larger local government units underpins ongoing reorganization. Disaggregation increases the organizations constituting the local state working with local government. Reflecting national management of central–local relations, funding and financing experiments and innovations punctuate local government’s history as local statecrafters try to exert their autonomies.
Advising financialization?
Authors: Pike Andy 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
A widening array of external advisors increased their involvement in local statecraft in England since 2010. With denuded capacity due to staff reductions in austerity, local statecrafters were compelled to seek support to navigate their changing financial situations, coping with fiscal stress and formulating innovations. Such intermediaries are interpreted as potential carriers, enablers, or even drivers of the financialization of the local state. Providing long-standing sources of specialist advice for local government in England, the range and roles of accountants and consultants, financial consultants, treasury management advisors (TMAs), property consultants, and professional and sectoral advisors, associations, and consultants have increased and evolved since 2010. Their strategies, business models, and services cultivated and shaped the growing local public sector market. Local governments in England need the legal cover of commissioned expert advice to underpin their due diligence, risk management, and accountable decision-making. UK government and national professional regulation and guidance require and encourage such engagement. External advisors enabling and supporting local statecrafter involvements with commercial finance actors are differentiated by differences in local government type and size, risk appetites, attitude and openness to external advice, strategies, locations, local economic conditions, and tax bases.
The local statecraft of borrowing and debt management
Authors: Pike Andy 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
Spendthrift local governments with a ‘debt addiction’ on a borrowing ‘spree’ are evident in the ‘councillors at the casino’ narrative in England. Borrowing and debt management strategies evolved and grew in importance for local statecrafters addressing funding gaps since 2010. A national system governs local government borrowing. From 2003, the UK government encouraged greater local autonomy and responsibility while retaining control within the highly centralized funding system. Reflecting the use of specific loan types and new, more complex debt instruments as evidence of local state financialization, more active strategies for borrowing and managing debt portfolios are evident. Local statecrafters interpret and work with and around the centralized national codes and guidance in devising their borrowing and debt management. Importing greater risk into local government, borrowing has grown overall and in particular ways across England since 2010. Underpinning the differentiated landscape of local statecraft engagements with financialization, vanguard, intermediate, and long-tail approaches are evident. The local political and officer leadership’s strategic vision, aims, and responses to closing funding gaps determine local statecraft, reflecting external advice and involvement (or not) with financial institutions developing loan products for the local public sector market. Local governments are borrowing from and beholden to a widening range of lenders with different instruments and terms, from internal resources, each other, national government agencies, and external financial institutions and investors. Financial innovations are evident in vanguard approaches but are a relatively small proportion of overall borrowing activity.
Introduction
Authors: Shackleton David 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
This introduction advances an understanding of ‘Anthropocene modernism’ as a literary and cultural modernism that registers the environmental transformations such as climate change that are now considered to characterize the Anthropocene, and offers the possibility of rethinking the pressing environmental concerns of the present. Forming part of a recent eco-critical turn in modernist studies, the approach adopted here is to analyse the environmental politics of modernism through the politics of time. It draws on Martin Heidegger and Paul Ricoeur to explicate how modernist novels refigure time, and how competing narratives of the Anthropocene situate humans meaningfully within geohistory. The exceptional ability of modernist novels to refigure time and meaningful structures of action allows a way of reconceptualizing the environmental crisis, and rethinking issues of scale, agency, and responsibility in the Anthropocene. Indeed, analysing the rich timescapes of modernist novels, and reading them alongside recent narratives of environmental crisis, allows us to refigure our temporal consciousness in the Anthropocene, cultivate new structures of environmental care and concern, and open new possibilities of political action.
H. G. Wells, Geology, and Ecological Risk
Authors: Shackleton David 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
Chapter 1 addresses H. G. Wells’s engagements with geology and ecology. Although often confined to the peripheries of modernism, Wells drew on his scientific training to develop innovative literary and historiographic forms that start to make phenomena such as climate change and mass species extinctions visible. The chapter starts by situating The Time Machine (1895) in the context of geological literature, showing how Wells reworks the conceit of time travel, tropes of ruin, and a fragmentary aesthetic to imagine the effects of human agency over vast timescales. It then analyses the politicization of geological time in his universal histories, The Outline of History (1920) and A Short History of the World (1922). Therein, Wells reframes history on geological and planetary scales, and seeks to redirect the destructive power of humans to positive ends through the formation of a cosmopolitan World State. Turning to his ‘discovery of the future’, the chapter finishes by considering three of his utopias, in which he imagines societies that have overcome the threat of extinction to achieve efficient control over non-human species and the planet’s natural resources. In doing so, Wells mirrors the anthropocentrism and human exceptionalism of early ecological science, and anticipates some recent accounts of the Anthropocene. However, the value of his utopias lies less in their proposed environmental solutions than in the ability of their aesthetic form to produce knowledge about ecological risk.
D. H. Lawrence and Nietzsche’s Thought of Eternal Recurrence
Authors: Shackleton David 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
Chapter 2 examines D. H. Lawrence’s creative adaptations of Friedrich Nietzsche’s thought of eternal recurrence in his coalfield fiction. It charts how Lawrence uses Nietzsche’s thought to imagine various forms of rupture in historical time, and the inauguration of a new age. Much like the epochal shift marked by the Anthropocene, Lawrence’s visions of historical transformation express an environmental politics. In Women in Love (1920), the thought is used to portray mechanical repetition and Gerald’s ruthless industrial spoliation of the Earth, whereas in Lady Chatterley’s Lover (1928) it is reimagined as part of Connie and Mellors’s desire for a green revaluation of the Earth. Rather than involving a retreat from politics and history, Lawrence uses sex and the body to explore intertwined social and environmental crises, and to imagine a transition beyond an industrial system based on the exploitation of workers and the extraction of fossil fuels.
Forums for Raising Abuse of Process
Authors: Wells Colin 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
Consideration of the forums in which abuse of process arguments are raised, considered, and determined, starting with the first instance Magistrates’ court, Youth Court, and moving onto the appellant level Crown Court, Divisional Court, Court of Appeal Criminal Division, and Supreme Court. The separate jurisprudence of the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) in Strasbourg is considered in later chapters on an issues-related basis. The decision to prosecute, if taken for improper reasons, can amount to an abuse of process which can be challenged in the Magistrates’ court and by judicial review.
Non-Availability of Evidence
Authors: Wells Colin 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
Where evidence has been lost or destroyed and the defence has been deprived of a potential opportunity to advance its case, the court has a discretion to stay proceedings. The court, when considering an abuse application based on the non-availability of evidence, has to consider the relevance of the material, whether it should have been preserved, why it was destroyed (in terms of bad faith, serious fault, or incompetence), and alternative trial remedies. Reference is made to the Code of Practice published pursuant to sections 23 and 25 of the Criminal Procedure and Investigations Act 1996 (CPIA 1996) and the Attorney General’s disclosure guidelines. The ultimate objective is a fair trial to both the defence and prosecution. Trial procedural safeguards can deal with the bulk of complaints. A stay should not be granted unless the defence could show prejudice to the extent that a fair trial could not be had.
Reconceptualizing the Politics of Pockets of Effectiveness
Authors: Hickey Sam , Mohan Giles 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
This previous chapter argued that existing studies of PoEs have struggled to specify the forms of politics that shape how PoEs emerge and perform PoEs over time. To help address this problem, this chapter outlines the new conceptual and methodological approach developed for this project, which constitutes the first systematic investigation of PoEs across different types of political context. In conceptual terms, the authors argue that an alignment of political settlements analysis with critical theories of state power and African politics can help reveal how PoEs are shaped by underlying relations of power and politics. However, PoEs also need to be located within the particular ‘policy domain’ that they operate within, and which defines the political role they play, the policy challenges they face, and the organizational characteristics they require to perform effectively. The chapter identifies how this integrated ‘power domains’ approach can generate researchable propositions and how these were investigated through a mixture of within- and across-case analysis. It summarizes the results of the expert surveys that undertaken in Ghana, Kenya, Rwanda, Uganda, and Zambia, which were chosen to represent different types of political settlement. These surveys identified state agencies that operated within the domain of economic governance, namely ministries of finance, central banks, and revenue authorities. The chapter discusses how in-depth mixed methods investigations of these fifteen organizational case-studies were undertaken, tracking performance from the early 1990s through to the late 2010s, and locating each within shifting political settlement dynamics and the changing transnational political economy of development.
Limiting loss

Published: August 2023

Abstract
If Protection Gap Entities (PGEs) want to make disasters insurable over the long term, they need to make insurance a tool for resilience. Most PGEs focus on providing insurance to ensure financial resilience in the aftermath of disasters. However, climate change and growing urbanization are increasing disaster losses. Hence, physical resilience—actions to avoid or mitigate losses—is critical to maintain insurability. Privileging financial resilience, as many PGEs do, can undermine physical resilience if societies assume that money can pay for the losses and there is no need to reduce them. Ensuring physical resilience requires a wide spectrum of measures associated with land use, planning, and construction, that is beyond the traditional scope of PGEs. PGEs’ remits must thus evolve, expanding the types of stakeholders in their control system with whom they work to build individual and societal responsibility for, and integration of, financial and physical resilience to disaster.
Devils in the Details
Authors: Di Salvo Gina M. 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
Chapter 2 addresses saints in Elizabethan plays and pageantry. Beginning with an exploration of St. Dunstan in the anonymous A Knack to Know a Knave (c.1592) and The Devil and His Dame (c.1600) by William Haughton, this chapter shows how the first experiments with saints in the playhouse retained elements of medieval legends while also conflating, collapsing, and improvising hagiographic narratives. In the case of St. Dunstan, the saint’s iconography and legend were adapted to reflect the theatricality of conjuration found in popular magician plays, such as Marlowe’s Dr. Faustus. The St. Dunstan plays, like the other saint plays of the era, preserved major aspects of medieval performance and register an interest in dramatizing English saints. Nonetheless, the theatre remained somewhat skeptical of sanctity. This suspicious perspective on sainthood materializes in three of Shakespeare’s early history plays: 2 Henry VI (c.1591), Richard III (c.1592), and 1 Henry VI (c.1592). In contrast, a 1602 pageant for Queen Elizabeth that featured St. Swithin utilized the traditional legend of the saint to honor the monarch.
Acts of Translation

Published: August 2023

Abstract
Chapter 3 examines Thomas Heywood’s renaissance of the saint play through the staging of Queen Elizabeth’s Reformation struggles as miraculous virgin martyrdom in If You Know Not Me, You Know Nobody (c.1604). This play culminates in the production of a new theatrical vita. The chapter also explores two plays that operate according to Heywood’s new terms of theatrical sanctity. The anonymous St. Christopher (1609) and Henry VIII (1613) by Shakespeare and John Fletcher both depict overtly Catholic figures. An examination of the legal documents related to St. Christopher reveals that the pro-recusant play utilized the same oppositional theatrics of Heywood’s play to sanctify the faithful and demonize the heretics. By contrast, Henry VIII carefully navigates and somewhat distorts Heywood’s conventions of sanctity in order to frame Katherine of Aragon as saintlike but not quite sanctified.
