FOR ALL ITS IMPORTANCE, WHAT IS ACTUALLY SAID ABOUT MONEY IN TWO TREATISES IS HIGHLY OBSCURE. COMPARISON WITH LOCKE'S 1668-74 WRITINGS ON INTEREST REVEALS A COMMON UNDERSTANDING OF THE FUNCTION OF MONEY, AKIN TO THAT OF CONTEMPORARY MERCANTILISTS, WHICH ILLUMINATES MANY DIFFICULTIES IN THE CHAPTER ON PROPERTY THESE WRITINGS ARE THE SOURCE OF THE MAIN ECONOMIC CONCEPTS IN THE TREATISES; NAMELY, LABOUR AS THE ACTIVE SOURCE OF WEALTH (WHICH ALONG WITH THE ROMAN LAW NOTION OF SELF-OWNERSHIP PROVIDES THE BASIS OF LOCKE'S THEORY OF PROPERTY); MONEY OVERCOMING THE 'SPOLIATION LIMIT' ON THE ACCUMULATION OF CONSUMABLES, AND THE IDEA THAT MONEY IS CREATED BY AND DERIVES ITS VALUE FROM CONSENT (WHICH TWO TREATISES EXPLOITS AS A JUSTIFICATION OF THE UNEQUAL DISTRIBUTION OF PROPERTY). FINALLY, THE EARLY WRITINGS SUGGEST HOW IMPLAUSIBLE IT IS TO READ A LABOUR THEORY OF EXCHANGE VALUE INTO THE TREATISES.

Partnerships for Sustainability in Contemporary Global Governance investigates the goals, ideals, and realities of sustainability partnerships and offers a theoretical framework to help disentangle the multiple and interrelated pathways that shape their effectiveness. Partnerships are ubiquitous in research and policy discussions about sustainability and are important governance instruments for the provision of public goods. While partnerships promise a great deal, there is little clarity as to what they deliver. If partnerships are to break free from this paradox, more nuance and rigor are required for understanding and assessing their actual effects. This volume applies its original framework to diverse empirical cases in a way that could be extended to broader data sets and case studies of partnerships. The dual contribution of this volume, theoretical and empirical, holds promise for a more thorough and innovative understanding of the pathways to partnership effectiveness and the conditions that can shape their performance. The broad range of crosscutting analyses suggest important practical implications for the design of new partnerships and the updating of existing initiatives. This interdisciplinary book will be of great interest to researchers, students, and practitioners within international relations, political science, sociology, environmental studies and global studies, as well as the growing number of scholars in public policy, global health and organizational and business studies who are keen to gain a deeper understanding of the pathways and mechanisms that influence the outcomes and effectiveness of cross-sector collaboration and transnational governance more broadly.

AbstractChurch construction was one of the most challenging, and most political, tasks undertaken by medieval cities. Comparing examples from across Europe reveals profound differences, however, in both the architecture of politics and the politics of architecture; that is, how building projects were administered and how their administration shaped their socio-political significance. Although ranging across the continent, this article is centered on construction in two representative cities: Vienna and London. While the former had a small number of churches, all under the direct control of the mayor and council, the latter had over a hundred, each overseen by locally appointed officers. In Vienna, church construction was, thus, an important field of activity for the city government, which oversaw the work and celebrated its own leadership of the project; in London, it lay outside civic control and offered local opportunities for domination by wealthy families. This difference can be found across the continent, separating the large, old cities of England, northern France, Spain, and the Low Countries, which could have numerous churches, from smaller towns and cities both in these places and across the rest of central, northern, and southern Europe, which typically had a single, major parish church and only a few subordinate ones. This article considers the implications of these two contrasting models—centralized and decentralized, civic and parochial, high government and local politics—on how architectural production functioned as a field of political activity and how church building shaped local distributions and articulations of power in medieval Europe.
