2010 Uehiro Lecture 3: Professor Masaki Ichinose
Modes of Responsibility Part 3: Death Penalty and Human Rights Masaki Ichinose takes a historical approach to investigate the issue of the death penalty, examining Locke's theory of property rights to discuss the justifiability and possibility of the death penalty. He proposes a view ('impossibilism') on the death penalty rather than retentionism or abolitionism - the impossibilism is a hypothetical or conditional view presupposing the theory of human rights.
3.2 Public or private memorial? The choice of location has wider implications, too. If the chosen site is in a public place, such as a park or village green in public ownership, then the building is accessible to all. No specific interest controls it (though of course there may be special arrangements made for its upkeep) and no particular individual owns it. On the other hand, if a memorial is created by a family in memory of an individual, then the location of the memorial reflects that gift. Such memorials are ofte
Religion, Democracy in the Foreign Policy of Obama: New Trends in the Data on Religion and Democracy
The day-long event consisted of four panels, each of which examined the question of religion and democracy in U.S. foreign policy from a different perspective. The panels addressed the role of religious actors in U.S. democracy programs and policies; the 'twin tolerations' and democratic stability in highly religious societies; emerging trends in the data concerning the relationships between religion and democracy; and the relationship between Islam and democracy in key Muslim countries.
Proselytism and Religious Freedom: Proselytism as Religious Duty (with Land, Magid, Rashkover, Shah)
In the context of a globalizing world marked by the freer
flow of people and ideas, proselytism has become increasingly
controversial. On March 3, 2010, the Berkley Center sponsored a
day-long symposium on proselytism and religious freedom in the 21st
century. Experts from a variety of scholarly and policy fields
investigated the theological, legal, and political implications of the
missionary impulse.
Ending Wars Well: Operationalizing Jus Post Bellum - Issues for Practitioners: (with Crocker, Pierce
This Berkley Center conference will look at critical questions for a twenty-first century application of Just War theory to war?s end (jus post bellum) in three key areas: the theoretical underpinnings of jus post bellum, issues for settlements and post-conflict arrangements, and operational considerations for practitioners engaged in late- and post-conflict planning.

Death of M3: The Fifth Anniversary Five years ago, in November 2005, the Federal Reserve announced that it would no longer be tracking the aggregate money supply.

The Art of Science Communication
You wouldn’t know that Alan Alda felt nervous in advance of addressing this audience of neuroscientists. In his trademark style, Alda chats up the crowd like an old friend, sharing anecdotes involving one of his great pursuits: “I love to talk to scientists,” he says.
When he is not on stage or in a film, Ald
4 The future of direct solar energy use
Energy from sources other than fossil and nuclear fuels is to a large extent free of the concerns about environmental effects and renewability that characterize those two sources. Each alternative source supplies energy continuall, whether or not we use it, and most have their origins in energy generated outside the Earth, yet the potential of each is limited by its total supply set against its rate of use. The Sun will radiate energy until it ceases thermonuclear fusion, in around 5 billion yea

1 Popular responses to the South African War, 1899–1902 It is convenient for purposes of comparison to examine popular responses to the Boer War or South African War of 1899 to 1902, which involved Britain in a war for the Transvaal, and to the Spanish-American War of 1898, which was fought, ostensibly at least, to free the Cuban people from Spanish oppression. The South African War certainly involved the British working population. The war was fought by members of the working and lower-middle classes, many of whom volunteered. And the war w
