SummaryJohn Sibthorp (1758–96) and Ferdinand Bauer (1760–1826) explored the eastern Mediterranean between 1786 and 1787, collecting specimens and seeds, and making field sketches. In Oxford, Bauer produced watercolours from his sketches as Sibthorp reorganised the Physic Garden to make it appropriate for teaching Linnaean botany. This paper shows how Sibthorp, a dedicated teacher, incorporated Bauer's illustrations and living plants collected during their travels, into his annual lecture course.

AbstractThis project has embedded in it an explanation of the structural and relational power transmission process stemming from "micro‐actions" in global financial relations. This paper is about domestic policy adaptation in international and domestic finance and how it occurs. The fundamental contention of this paper is that the way to understand power in global finance is to provide an answer to the question: Who makes the rules in finance—state actors or nonstate actors? The answer to this question is problematic in the IPE literature because of both the enormous influence of finance in the councils of the industrial democracies and the information asymmetries that favor power in finance. Finance, it is argued, has the determining influence on the rules governing its industry. The dependent variable in this analysis is the policy output—the regulation and liberalization decisions of states. The behaviors of the state and of other policy actors in the policy process are the independent variables.

This project examines the policy process surrounding
Canada's latest reforms of its financial–services industry
legislation. The banks lobbied for a broadening of their eligible
activities to mirror those of the multi–function banks in Europe
and the United States and for mergers to permit them to compete with
those banks on an equal footing. The government denied the
institutions' requests and the pressure for action was deflected to
a task force. My analysis of the policy change process is informed by
the public choice paradigm and portrays the activities in the policy
"black box."
