This article discusses Lady Jersey's brief sojourn in New South Wales in 1891-92, as the wife of the colonial governor. In the context of colonial anxieties and hopes about the contemporary women's movement, Lady Jersey's aristocratic confidence and imperial authority gave her the appearance of an ‘Advanced Woman’. A published writer and confident public speaker before she arrived in the colony, Lady Jersey took a keen interest in local political affairs, and her demeanour and activity were swiftly satirised in the radical nationalist and frequently misogynist Bulletin. Local feminist groups, perhaps craving some of the legitimate public authority she so readily exercised, sought her patronage and support but were generally doomed to disappointment. The article suggests that Lady Jersey, despite her own conservatism, offered an ambiguous role model for those seeking positive ways in which to imagine female power. 相似文献

Although several studies have examined state and federal regulationof political corruption andethics reform, few studies have extendedtheir focus to local governments. In this study, we examinethe local government response to stale-mandated ethics reformin Kentucky during the 1990s. Based on a quantitative analysisof local government ethics codes in 288 cities, we concludethat local compliance with state-mandated ethics reform hasbeen largely driven by local political factors. Cities withrelatively developed democratic institutions, characterizedby high levels of electoral competition and a strong media presence,were significantly more likely to construct strict ethics ordinances,as were cities reflecting moralistic political cultural values. 相似文献

The punishment of children in the domestic sphere and in the public domain is an issue of concern for those with care of children
or whose interests lie in the protection of children’s human rights. How children are treated when they are judged to have
broken rules reveals fundamental approaches to the welfare of those who have yet to reach adulthood. The effect of the United
Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child in respect of how children are punished, whether in the home or as transgressors
of criminal law, may be examined through two distinct but linked spheres: the private and home life context of domestic or
personal punishment, and the public domain of state punishment of children in terms of criminal responsibility under English
Law. Both spheres reveal attitudes towards the rights of children which suggest how human rights are accorded to particular
groups in applying international obligations to a state’s domestic provision. This article seeks to explore some issues of
compliance with Article 19 (the physical chastisement of children), Article 37 (the imprisonment of children being a ‚last
resort’) and Article 40 (the minimum age of criminal responsibility) of the United Nations Convention on the␣Rights of the
Child. The application of the rights of children and the operation of the ‚best interests’ of the child in applying Articles
19, 37 and 40 suggests that there are issues in relation to non-compliance which indicate a diminution of the separate rights
of children under English Law in particular and in the operation of the best interests of the child.

The character and scope of changes in UK higher education in recent years make it likely that when we as academics stop to think about teaching, we dwell on the pressures and the frustrations more than on the excitement and the pleasures. This article advocates personal reflection on teaching politics that takes into account institutional and national constraints and explores the space that is left for initiative and innovation. 相似文献
