Why Is There No Labor Party in the United States?

By: Robin Archer

Why is the United States the only advanced capitalist country with no labor party? This question is one of the great enduring puzzles of American political development, and it lies at the heart of a fundamental debate about the nature of American society. Tackling this debate head-on, Robin Archer puts forward a new explanation for why there is no American labor party--an explanation that suggests that much of the conventional wisdom about "American exceptionalism" is untenable. Conventional explanations rely on comparison with Europe. Archer challenges these explanations by comparing the United States with its most similar New World counterpart--Australia. This comparison is particularly revealing, not only because the United States and Australia share many fundamental historical, political, and social characteristics, but also because Australian unions established a labor party in the late nineteenth century, just when American unions, against a common backdrop of industrial defeat and depression, came closest to doing something similar. Archer examines each of the factors that could help explain the American outcome, and his systematic comparison yields unexpected conclusions. He argues that prosperity, democracy, liberalism, and racial hostility often promoted the very changes they are said to have obstructed. And he shows that it was not these characteristics that left the United States without a labor party, but, rather, the powerful impact of repression, religion, and political sectarianism.

People and Things from the Walker County, Alabama Jasper Mountain Eagle (1903 - 1905)

By: Robin Sterling

This third volume of news clippings from the historic issues of the Jasper Mountain Eagle spans the years 1903 - 1905. Practically every issue from the time period is represented. Only a few scattered issues are missing from this series: from 1903, Feb 25, May 13, and Jun 24; from 1904, Jan 6 and Mar 9; and from 1905, Feb 22, Jul 5, Aug 2, Oct 11, Nov 29, and Dec 27. These clippings from the Mountain Eagle come from microfilm purchased from the State Archives in Montgomery. Every issue of the Eagle was examined column by column to capture all available information regarding births, deaths, marriage notices, and relevant news items and information regarding the early history of Walker County and the surrounding area. Death notices were compared against available cemetery records at FindAGrave.com and were annotated. The history of Walker County is written in the pages of its early newspapers. This book will be a valuable asset to the serious student of Walker County genealoty and history.

Yeowart and Parsons on the Law of Financial Collateral

By: Geoffrey Yeowart,Robin Parsons,Edward Murray,Hamish Patrick

As the volume of transactions in European financial markets continues to grow, the use of financial collateral, be it in the form of cash, shares, bonds or credit claims, has become a critical tool in supporting and managing risk in financial transactions. This book is the first of its kind to offer a systematic examination of the whole law relating to financial collateral. It does so in two parts. First, it explains the law created by the Financial Collateral Arrangements (No 2) Regulations 2003, the Directive it implemented and related legislation. Second, it examines how financial collateral is used in practice in a range of different markets. It will be an essential reference point for all legal practitioners operating in financial markets. Key features: • Analytical rigour combined with insight into how financial collateral works in practice, covering both English and Scots law • Valuable discussion of control and possession tests, right of use, remedy of appropriation, close-out netting and impact of ‘bail-in’ • Explains use of financial collateral in the derivatives market, clearing houses, direct and indirect securities holding systems and use of repos, securities lending and prime brokerage • Highlights key issues on regulatory treatment and conflicts of laws • Discusses direction of future law reform • Written by leading experts in the field.

A Bibliography of Higher Education in Canada Supplement 1971 / Bibliographie de l'enseignement superieur au Canada Supplement 1971

By: Robin S. Harris

The 1971 Supplement adds some 3,500 entries to the approximately 7,000 listed in the original volume and the 1965 Supplement. Like its predecessors this volume provides a full list of the secondary sources related to Canadian higher education – books, articles, theses, dissertations, and reports published from 1964 to 1969. The reporting and arrangement of entries remains the same in the Supplement, but changes have been made in the overall organization of the material. New divisions have been created, more than a dozen sections have been subdivided, and a substantial number of new sections have been added. (Studies in Higher Education 5)
