AbstractSprings are unique freshwater habitats and represent ideal sites in which to examine the relationship between environmental variables and macro‐invertebrate communities. The results of three case studies infer that species assemblages are determined by the physical habitat conditions within a spring and the ecological requirements of the component species. The composition of the macro‐invertebrate community changes significantly along the longitudinal gradient of a spring‐brook, as predicted by ecological theory. The results of the case studies are examined in relation to the conservation and protection of these little‐studied habitats, and suggestions are made as to how to achieve this in the Wye Valley.

THE AUTHOR FOCUSES ON WHAT THE CONCEPTS OF DEMOCRACY AND DEMOCRATIZATION MEAN AND IMPLY, ESPECIALLY IN THE CONTEXT OF INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS, BY EXPLORING THE TWO DOMINANT CONCEPTIONS OF DEMOCRACY WITHIN THE WESTERN TRADITION -- LIBERAL AND CIVIC REPUBLICAN -- AND HIGHLIGHTING HOW THEIR INTERNAL TENSIONS AND POSSIBILITIES AFFECT THE STUDY OF DEMOCRACY AND THE ASSESSMENT OF PROCESSES OF DEMOCRATIZATION. HER PURPOSE IS TWOFOLD: FIRST, HER ARGUMENT IS INTENDED TO DRAW ATTENTION TO THE IMPOSSIBILITY OF TREATING DEMOCRACY AS A SELF-EVIDENT OR UNCONTESTED CONCEPT, WHICH IS CO-EXTENSIVE WITH A PARTICULAR INSTITUTIONAL MODEL; SECOND, HER ARGUMENT IS INTENDED TO DEMONSTRATE THE ABSURDITY OF IDENTIFYING THE EXTENSION OF DEMOCRACY WITH UNPROBLEMATIC CONCEPTIONS OF PROGRESS, WHICHEVER OF THE DOMINANT MODELS IS IN QUESTION. IN ADDITION, THE AUTHOR EXAMINES TWO ALTERNATIVE NOTIONS OF DEMOCRACY, WHICH HAVE BEEN DEVELOPED IN REACTION TO THE SHORTCOMINGS OF THE DOMINANT MODELS, PARTICULARLY IN REACTION TO THE LIBERAL DEMOCRATIC TRIUMPHALISM THAT HAS MARKED MUCH LITERATURE ON DEMOCRACY SINCE 1989. THESE ARE DAVID HELD'S MODEL OF COSMOPOLITAN DEMOCRACY AND CHANTAL MOUFFE'S CONCEPT OF RADICAL PLURALIST DEMOCRACY.
