Buried beneath the headlines of atrocities in Gaza and Ukraine, a recently released UN report suggests 15,000 civilians have been slaughtered in the city of El-Geneina, the capital of West Darfur. This is more than the initial toll for the entire conflict and more attention from the international community is urgently needed to stop the genocidal atrocities.

This case study combines the discipline-ascribed postpositivist- and positivist-labelled methodological approaches of poststructuralist deconstruction with structural equation modelling, respectively, using the principles of epistemethodological pluralism (EMP) within a PhD thesis that sought to explain public attitudes to Irelands policy of neutrality. Most understandings of mixed methods imply the use of approaches that share a set of concepts, with shared assumptions of ontological and epistemological premises, for example, combining quantitative and qualitative research, whereby the latter is used to support the findings of the former. EMP seeks to combine epistemologically diverse methodologies with contrasting research philosophy assumptions in a non-hierarchical manner to critically and transformationally disassemble or disrupt orthodox concepts in the literature and then rearticulate them in further emancipatory research. The project context was an absence of studies of public opinion on neutrality and a political reluctance to approach the subject due to pressure from the European Union (EU) to abandon neutrality in favour of a common defence, resulting in academic and government discourses that excluded public support for Irish neutrality and its constructivist underpinnings. Although the research design used a quantitative approach, it was necessary to carry out a poststructuralist deconstruction of concepts of neutrality in the academic literature and in government policy to identify the independent variables of the public opinion structural equation models. This case details the thought processes that led to this unorthodox combination of mixed epistemethodologies as well as the nuts and bolts of how the deconstruction and structural equation models were carried out.

The story of the Anglo-Scottish relationship by Scotland's premier historian. There can be no relationship in Europe's history more creative, significant, vexed and uneasy than that between Scotland and England. From the Middle Ages onwards the island of Britain has been shaped by the unique dynamic between Edinburgh and London, exchanging inhabitants, monarchs, money and ideas, sometimes in a spirit of friendship and at others in a spirit of murderous dislike. Tom Devine's seminal new book explores this extraordinary history in all its ambiguity, from the seventeenth century to the present. When not undermining each other with invading armies, both Scotland and England have broadly benefitted from each other's presence -- indeed for long periods of time nobody questioned the Union which joined them. But as Devine makes clear, it has for the most part been a relationship based on consent not force, on mutual advantage rather than antagonism -- and it has always held the possibility of a political parting of the ways. With the United Kingdom under a level of scrutiny unmatched since the 18th century Independence or Union is the essential guide
