CfP: Women’s Contributions to Political Economy During the 19th Century  Vol. 5 Journal of the History of Women Philosophers and Scientists
Editors: Karen Green (University of Melbourne) & Ruth Edith Hagengruber (Paderborn University) By the beginning of the nineteenth century, political thought had shifted away from Enlightenment ideals of moral progress and toward a more scientific conception of political and economic developments grounded in economic theory. Adam Smith’s Wealth of Nations inspired widespread interest in political economy. Women such as Jane Marcet and Harriet Martineau emerged as early popularisers and interpreters of this new science.

The US has launched an unprovoked and illegal attack on Venezuela.

This is a brazen attempt to secure control over Venezuelan natural resources.

It is an act of war that puts the lives of millions of people at risk, and should be condemned by anyone who believes in sovereignty & international law.

Many Chinese scholars and practitioners adopt a pragmatic or neutral stand toward the core concepts of Eurocentric IL. For many, Anghie’s call for a novel international legal imagination that challenges the form, structure, and methodology of IL is not desirable. cil.nus.edu.sg/blogs/search...

The ISS will be deorbited in 2031, handing over space station operations to private companies.

How befitting for NASA to have paid SpaceX almost $1 billion to develop a vehicle that will strike the final death blow, dumping the ISS back into Earth.
