  • 26 - The Referendum Ten Years On: The Journey from Remain to Leave

  • from Part IV - Changing Minds, 2016–2026
  • Edited by Anthony Seldon, Wellington College
  • Book:
    The Brexit Effect, 2016–2026

  • Summary

    The author tracks his political journey from being a sceptical Remainer in 2016 to a persuaded Brexiteer in 2026. On economics, he accepts that Brexit has damaged Britain’s trade in goods and rate of economic growth in the short term – although not nearly as much as Remainer fearmongers prophesied. Yet, he reckons that loss will be more than compensated for in the long term by Brexit-freedoms to make trade agreements that open the likes of India up to British services, and to exploit artificial intelligence’s technological potential within a lighter, more flexible regulatory regime. However, the main reasons for the author’s conversion are constitutional. Brexit restores sovereignty to the British government, empowering it to address politically destabilising issues such as the control of the rate of immigration. It will allow Britain to withdraw from the European Convention of Human Rights, which is necessary to retrieve legislative power from unelected courts and restore it to Parliament. It renders Scottish independence even more economically irrational than it already is. And it thereby helps to make less likely the disintegration of the United Kingdom, which would weaken the West at a time when it needs to keep all its pillars standing strong.

  • Summary

    The first decades of the twenty-first century were very different from the manufacturing revolution of the twentieth, when whole new industries, such as making cars, televisions and a myriad of new household appliances, created huge numbers of new, well-paid, skilled jobs. Instead, recent times have been more like the early stages of the industrial revolution two centuries ago, when living standards and life expectancy both fell. Around twenty years ago we started sending emails instead of letters, following news online rather than buying newspapers, ordering goods online rather than going to high street shops. Following the hollowing out of the old industries from the 1980s onwards, well-paid careers in imposing factories, familiar shops, banks and traditional post offices ended up being replaced by low-paid jobs staffing anonymous call centres, packing online orders, delivering take-away meals and driving Amazon vans. Not quite the dark satanic mills of 200 years ago, but not glad confident morning either. Previous generations assumed that steady growth would ensure better lives for their children. That confidence has evaporated across Western Europe and North America.

The Psychology of Hunger and Starvation

  • Hunger and starvation have significantly shaped the human condition. The imprints of past famines continue to cast lasting shadows on our evolutionary relationship with food, highlighting starvation as a powerful cognitive force. This book explores the nature of human hunger primarily from a psychological perspective, covering its basis in the brain, its critical dependence on learning and memory, and the dramatic effect of starvation on morality and behaviour. It connects the biology and psychology of hunger with historical and social examples including hunger strikers, hunger artists, disordered eating, and hunger as a weapon. Human experimental studies of deep starvation are also analysed, alongside case studies of the 'super hungers' in Prader-Willi syndrome, binge eating, and dementia. Delivering a comprehensive and interdisciplinary picture of human hunger and starvation, this book is an ideal resource for students and researchers interested in ingestive behaviour from a multidisciplinary perspective.

From Groups to Gods
  • Neuroscience and Evolution of the Collective Mind
  • Patrick McNamara
  • Coming soon
  • Expected online publication date:
    June 2026
    Print publication:
    30 June 2026
  • Explore the 'group mind' phenomenon and uncover its influences on religious and political experiences. This book investigates the idea that human groups, under certain conditions, can develop distinct personalities and possess 'minds' characterized by quasi-rational decision-making processes, emotions, intentional states, and actions in the world. Utilizing expert research, Patrick McNamara applies the explosion of findings in collective cognition to topics in evolutionary psychology, social science, and religion to demonstrate the associations between group minds and supernatural agents. The chapters examine the relationship between religious group minds and individual psychology from multiple perspectives, including identity dynamics, inter-group relations, group theory of mind, and the neuroscience of in-group monitoring. The book also addresses how religious groups evolve, maintain cohesion, and shape individual brains, offering a novel framework for understanding how collective minds emerge and operate. It is an essential resource for those interested in the psychology of religion, philosophy, and religious studies.
Early Christian Georgian Literature

Early Christian Georgian Literature
  • Making Christian Identity in an Iranic Culture
  • Stephen H. Rapp Jr
  • Coming soon

    30 June 2026
  • This Element re-evaluates the genesis and early development of Georgian literature. Sparked by the Christian invention of a Georgian script ca. 400 AD, this literature was a product of the Christianization of the Caucasus region. But to what extent was early Georgian literature a Christian one? What were the ecclesiastical, cultural, and linguistic contexts of Georgian literature? And how did Georgia's, and Caucasia's, existing ties to Iranian cultural world affect the evolution of a distinctly Georgian literature? All the while, this volume engages both the Christianization of Georgia's peoples and the Georgianization of Christianity.

Ideology and the Language of Human Rights

  • It is crucial to apply robust analytic methods to the study of discourses deemed 'ideological'. This book applies the Guidelines and Procedures for ideological research, as presented in Verschueren's Ideology in Language Use, to an exciting new area of study; discourses intended to improve humanity. It analyses the discourse of Amnesty International appeal letters, to show (contrary to what the field of critical discourse analysis often assumes) that ideological discourse can sometimes have a positive, rather than a negative, agenda. It explores how Amnesty's choice of words, sentence structures, speech acts, and other discourse elements, enact its ideological meanings, functions, frames of reference and interpretation, as well as the social, interactional, and ideological positioning of discourse participants in its reports, communications, and appeals. These findings have wider implications not only for the field of discourse analysis, but also for theories within pragmatics, such as speech act theory and (im)politeness.

The Romantic Self

  • The Early German Romantics elaborated a highly original philosophical-political framework where subjectivity is not construed as essentially the property of an isolated individual having control over other people and over nature.  Rather, each subject can exist and flourish only within a web of harmonious relations of mutual dependency which connects it with history, with other people, and with the natural world. The implications of such a conception for our notion of individual and collective autonomy and for political life are radical. This book explains and analyses this novel way of thinking, places it in its historical context, and brings out some of the major consequences it has for our social life, and in particular for a number of issues of special contemporary relevance such as gender and ecology.

  • Now in its second edition, this handbook is a comprehensive and up-to-date resource that explores the applications of corpus-based research in linguistics. Since the first edition, corpus linguistics has evolved dramatically, and this edition has been fully updated to reflect these developments, with new chapters on emerging areas such as online language, legal discourse, and lexical complexity in learner language. Bringing together contributions from leading scholars, it critically evaluates methodologies, presents cutting-edge research, and includes empirical case studies that showcase corpus analysis in action. Each chapter surveys key studies, assesses methodological strengths and weaknesses, and highlights what corpus linguistics has uncovered about language variation and use. Covering topics ranging from phraseology to World Englishes, it serves as an essential reference for linguistics students, researchers, and educators. Whether you're new to corpus linguistics or an experienced scholar, this handbook provides valuable insights into the evolving role of corpora in linguistic research.

A Labour Theory of Value

  • Luigi L. Pasinetti was one of the most significant figures in the history of post-Keynesian economics. In his final book, he reflects on the history and future of post-Keynesian economics, as well as a broad range of issues relating to his previous work. He argues that the economics profession has reached a critical impasse, unable to grasp the true nature of the unprecedented world we now inhabit. He examines how modern economic thought has diverged from addressing real-world challenges, challenging outdated frameworks to offer, instead, a path for reflection and reorientation. With a rigorous critique of prevailing paradigms, Pasinetti proposes an alternative framework of analysis extending an invitation for economists to rethink foundational assumptions. Providing his final statement on these issues, this book delivers a compelling critique of the current state of economics and political economy and offers a vital contribution for reimagining these disciplines in extraordinary times.

  • Now in its fifth edition, this established text offers a comprehensive synthesis of policymaking theory and analysis for upper-level undergraduate and graduate students. The book integrates foundational and contemporary scholarship through global examples that develop comparative analytical skills. Real-world case examples extend theoretical insights into practice. Its three-part structure builds knowledge systematically: from core concepts and methodologies through the policy cycle to contemporary governance challenges. Students explore theoretical frameworks including pluralism, institutionalism, and conceptual development, while examining continuity, policy feedback, advocacy, and belief systems. Each chapter features learning objectives, revised study questions, and selected readings. This edition reorganizes and expands global coverage, incorporates recent scholarship including constructivist and feminist approaches, and substantially revises chapters on policy design and formulation. A new concluding chapter reinforces practical applications. The text's manageable length supports single-semester courses while providing depth for graduate seminars.
Between Speech and Song

Between Speech and Song

  • At the turn of the twentieth century, operatic singing in the German-speaking world remained deeply influenced by the Italian tradition, which implied a lyrical vocal style that prioritised technical precision, tonal beauty, and expressive clarity. From the 1910s onward, composers increasingly and systematically explored vocal techniques that blurred the boundary between speech and song, referred to here as the 'hybrid voice'. These approaches emerged from a complex interplay of symbolic, aesthetic, political, and philosophical influences and reflect a search for more diverse and individualised modes of vocal expression. This Element examines the hybrid voice in four seminal works of German modernism: Alban Berg's Wozzeck, Kurt Weill's Aufstieg und Fall der Stadt Mahagonny, Bernd Alois Zimmermann's Die Soldaten, and Adriana Hölszky's Bremer Freiheit. By situating each work within its historical and stylistic context, it traces a broader musical trajectory in German opera from expressionism and new objectivity to the postwar avant-garde.
The Linguistic Nature of Early Christian Arabic Literature

The Linguistic Nature of Early Christian Arabic Literature

  • This Element examines the forms of Arabic used by Christians in the early Islamic period in theological treatises and Arabic Bible translations. It argues that linguistic analysis of these texts not only clarifies the nature of early Islamic Arabic but also sheds new light on Christian institutional and intellectual culture. Focusing on nominal case, verbal mood, and gender and number agreement, the study challenges the common view that Christian authors wrote either flawed Classical Arabic or in a substandard register. Instead, it shows that their Arabic was typical of the early Islamic period. The Element also identifies differences in linguistic choices between theological treatises and biblical translations. After the Muslim conquests, Arabic was the language appropriate to both genres. The Element argues that Christians deftly and creatively adapted Arabic writing to their literary activities, in language appropriate to their different audiences.

Attunement to Others
  • Multispecies Cohabitation in the Anthropocene

  • Attunement to Others explores how contemporary Indian fiction engages with the crises of the Anthropocene through narrative practices of relationality and care. Reading the works of Arundhati Roy, Nilanjana Roy, Amitav Ghosh, Vandana Singh, Avinuo Kire, and Janice Pariat, Amit R. Baishya shows how these texts register the Anthropocene not as a singular rupture, but as a 'polycrisis' marked by ecological, political, and affective entanglements. Drawing on postcolonial ecocriticism, affect theory, and the environmental humanities, the book examines how acts of attunement-moments of listening to and sensing nonhuman others—shape ethical imaginaries and alternative ways of being. Rather than offering escapist or utopian visions, these fictions reveal how attunement emerges through grounded, affective practices of cohabitation, survival, and resistance on a damaged planet. In doing so, Attunement to Others contributes to interdisciplinary conversations on literary form, planetary crisis, and the nonhuman turn in postcolonial studies.

  • Sociology of Gender in India brings together feminist and queer scholarship to chart the changing landscape of gender debates in Indian Sociology. Spanning over five decades of disciplinary evolution, this volume interrogates how gender, caste, sexuality, class, and digitalization intersect in shaping contemporary social life. With essays by a new generation of scholars, it critically engages with foundational debates in kinship, marriage, labour, media, nationalism, and pedagogy, while foregrounding neglected areas such as femtech, queer infrastructures, and digital precarity. The volume not only reanimates classic concerns of Indian feminist sociology but also aims to intervene in global conversations on intersectionality, decolonial knowledge, and the sociology of everyday life. At once reflective and forward-looking, this book strives to be a necessary contribution for students, teachers, and researchers invested in the sociology of gender and its transformative possibilities in contemporary India.

  • From the Asvamedha sacrifice to the mounted police, modernist paintings to the medieval cavalry, oceanic trade to urban transport – horses have occupied a prominent position in almost every sphere of human history in South Asia. The Coveted Mount brings a holistic analysis of the compelling history of this human-nonhuman relationship from prehistory to the twenty-first century. The essays in this book unravel the role of the horse in gift exchanges, colonial cities, astrological knowledge, military campaigns, modern art, political culture, religious belief, veterinary sciences, and oceanic commerce. They do so by interpreting colonial records, ancient epics, epigraphic records, medieval coins, temple friezes, modern art, stone and terracotta sculptures, imperial chronicles, equestrian treatises, and wall paintings. In the process, the essays reveal South Asia's historical connections with the world. Overall, this richly illustrated book shows how, when, and why the horse became the coveted mount of South Asian societies

The Evolution of Classical Detective Fiction in Japan

The Evolution of Classical Detective Fiction in Japan
  • Between Honkaku and Henkaku
  • Satomi Saito
  • Coming soon
  • Expected online publication date:
    June 2026
    Print publication:
    30 June 2026
  • This Element traces the evolution of honkaku (orthodox) detective fiction in Japan, examining how a Western-derived puzzle genre was adapted, contested, and transformed within Japan's twentieth-century cultural climate. It begins with the genre's prewar formation, focusing on Edogawa Rampo's shift from a faithful practitioner of honkaku to a representative figure of Japan's henkaku (unorthodox) mode. The second section analyzes the postwar honkaku movement, demonstrating how Seishi Yokomizo and Seichō Matsumoto revitalized the genre while revealing the limits of the classical puzzle model. The final section turns to the New Orthodox School of the 1990s, whose writers pushed honkaku to its limits by reworking narrative structures and subverting genre conventions. By foregrounding debates surrounding honkaku, this Element theorizes detective fiction as a historically contingent system of formal constraints and cultural negotiations, positioning modern Japanese literature as a crucial site for rethinking genre, narrative logic, and the global circulation of literary forms.
