ABSTRACT This article explores the role of subcultural activism in the Stop the City Protests (STC), 1983-1984. It shows how protestors broke with the consensual approach of overarching political organisations, chiefly the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament (CND), using direct action tactics to shut down the City of London, which was emerging as a strategic centre for globalised capitalism. STC is shown to be on a continuum with the radicalism of the preceding decades, with bands, including Crass and Poison Girls bridging the gap to anarcho-punk. This article innovates by combining official evidence, in the form of police briefing notes, with ‘ground-up’ activist materials and fanzines, to evaluate the approach and ideology of the protestors and the police, thereby tracing the increasingly intolerant policing methods that were adopted during key political battles of the 1980s, including The Miners’ Strike and The Battle of the Beanfield. Questioning the extent to which Thatcherism was the hegemonic project of the 1980s, it demonstrates how STC was at odds with the contemporaneous corporatisation of political activism, and thereby provided a model for the road protests and Reclaim the Streets movement of the 1990s, and fed into the anti-globalisation and environmental movements of the 21st century.
本文探讨了亚文化行动主义在1983-1984年“停止城市抗议”(Stop the City Protests, STC)中的作用。它展示了抗议者是如何打破了主要是核裁军运动(CND)的政治组织的共识，使用直接行动策略关闭了伦敦金融城，而伦敦金融城正逐渐成为全球化资本主义的战略中心。STC被证明与前几十年的激进主义是一个连续体，包括克拉斯和毒药女孩在内的乐队弥合了与无政府朋克的差距。本文的创新之处是将官方证据(以警察简报的形式)与“彻底的”激进分子材料和杂志相结合，以评估抗议者和警察的方法和意识形态，从而追溯20世纪80年代关键政治斗争中采用的日益不宽容的警务方法，包括矿工罢工和豆田之战。质疑撒切尔主义在多大程度上是20世纪80年代的霸权项目，它展示了STC如何与同时代的政治激进主义公司化相矛盾，从而为20世纪90年代的道路抗议和“收复街道”运动提供了一个模式，并融入了21世纪的反全球化和环境运动。

ABSTRACT There is growing recognition that the end of formal empire did not equate with the ending of ties between the imperial power and its erstwhile dependencies. This was especially so of the ‘fortress colony’ of Malta which following constitutional separation from Britain in September 1964 remained firmly linked to Britain economically and militarily. The existing historiography suggests that Britain actively sought to maintain imperial connections after decolonisation, even to the extent of attempting to convert formal empire into informal influence. The case of Malta, by contrast, indicates that the remaining imperial ties proved increasingly vexatious for Britain which sought either to limit its liabilities or even transfer them to its NATO allies. For their part, the Maltese proved adept at manipulating, cajoling, and even threatening the former imperial power to maintain and even increase its commitments to the island, especially in the military and financial fields.

ABSTRACT Between 1947 and 1972, governments of India and Pakistan laid claims to ownership, management and share of the India Office Library & Records. These attempts and the British government’s responses to them have been bypassed by scholars of decolonisation. This article traces the trajectory of that dispute’s three distinct phases, wherein different proposals were mooted to wrest and retain, respectively the riches and records of the IOL&R. Unlike the more-studied African and Southeast Asian cases from the former British Empire, this dispute was less clear-cut and therefore more demanding of both sides in their manoeuvres to pursue their desires. Legal, administrative and technical bids were made in historical and moral arguments, with cultural and economic factors listed in support. In providing their details, this article demonstrates a difficult episode for decolonisation, where at stake was both its curated imperial past and yet-to-be written national narratives. It shows how symbols of a shared history as well as sources of that history’s separate writing became an arena of contest as much for the old glory as for new profits. At a time when decolonising history is in vogue, this article depicts the difficulties of even diversifying the artefacts of colonial history.
