Heartless World Revisited: Christopher Lasch's Parting Polemic Against The New Class, Kenneth Anderson Sep 1995

Heartless World Revisited: Christopher Lasch's Parting Polemic Against The New Class, Kenneth Anderson

Book Reviews

This obituary essay on the final book by the cultural critic Christopher Lasch appeared in the Times Literary Supplement in 1995. The essay examines Lasch's final work, The Revolt of the Elites, against the rest of his body of writing. In particular, it examines Lasch's populism and stance against the increasingly transnatonal elites loosely characterized as the New Class. It discusses Lasch's emphasis on the family as the locus of what remained a significantly Freudian cultural discourse, and examines the ways in which Lasch saw the family as being taken apart and then reassembled according to the mores of the …


Our Natural Selves, Kenneth Anderson Sep 1995

Our Natural Selves, Kenneth Anderson

Book Reviews

(Review of Luc Ferry, the New Ecological Order, and Michael Zimmerman, Contesting Earth's Future: Radical Ecology and Postmodernity)This 1995 Times Literary Supplement essay examines two books on the underlying philosophies of the ecology and environmentalism movements. The first, by Sorbonne professor and lately French Minister of Culture Luc Ferry, offers a critique of ecological philosophies that seek to de-privilege humanity in favor of a larger conception of nature. Ferry writes in a breezy, witty style which has at its aim reasserting liberal humanism and its human-centered ethic as against any ethic that treats human beings as merely species or merely …

Hubris At Waco, Kenneth Anderson

Book Reviews

Book review of "The Ashes of Waco: An Investigation," written by Dick J. ReavisThis is a review from the 1995 Times Literary Supplement of a book on the violent Waco encounter between federal law enforcement agents and members of the Branch Davidian religious cult that left many people, including many children, dead.

The Magi Of The Great Salt Lake, Kenneth Anderson Mar 1995

The Magi Of The Great Salt Lake, Kenneth Anderson

Book Reviews

This 1995 Times Literary Supplement (London) review examines John L. Brooke's impressive The Refiner's Fire: The Making of Mormon Cosmology 1644-1844. Brooke argues against long prevailing scholarship that, on the one hand, views Mormon theology as genuinely American and, on the other hand, understands it purely functionally - without regard for its theological content, but instead as a function of social pressures on impoverished populations in upstate New York from whence came Joseph Smith. The former view is incorrect, Brooke says, because the roots of Mormon theology lie in Europe in gnostic and splinters of the "radical reformation" that lay …


The United Nations Response To The Crisis Of Landmines In The Developing World, Kenneth Anderson Jan 1995

The United Nations Response To The Crisis Of Landmines In The Developing World, Kenneth Anderson

Articles in Law Reviews & Other Academic Journals

Introduction. Although the United Nations has frequently been criticized for responding too slowly to problems in the developing world, it can take pride in having been among the first to recognize the crisis of antipersonnel landmines. Ever since the issue was first raised in 1992 by the International Committee of the Red Cross, key actors at the United Nations-including the Secretary General and other senior executives in the departments of Peacekeeping, Humanitarian Affairs, the High Commissioner on Refugees, and UNICEF-have been forthright on the need to take action against this problem.' The brief but specific mention of landmines in the …

Can International Legal Principles Promote The Resolution Of Central And East European Transboundary Environmental Disputes?, Paul Williams

Articles in Law Reviews & Other Academic Journals

The fall of communism and the subsequent opening of Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) have revealed a regional ecosystem under serious strain after over forty years of communist stewardship. Although the entire region suffers from an exploited ecosystem, particular destruction has occurred in the border regions of the CEE states. The substantial environmental destruction and continuing degradation in these border regions give rise to a number of transboundary environmental disputes, which must be resolved if the situation is to be alleviated.'

Limited Mandates And Intertwined Problems: A New Challenge For The World Bank And The Imf, Daniel D. Bradlow, Claudio Grossman

Articles in Law Reviews & Other Academic Journals

The sovereign states that participated in the establishment of the post-Second World War international order had a specific vision of how international organizations should function. This view was based on two premises. The first premise was that the sovereign state was the most significant actor in the international order. Consequently, only states could join and participate in the affairs of the new international organizations. Furthermore, international organizations were limited in their ability to interfere in the internal affairs of their member states.
