| Summary/Abstract |
Intimately throughout the 1970s, and in a more detached way for the rest of his life, Bernard Crick thought seriously about the politics of Northern Ireland. Though he produced no systematic study of the Northern Ireland Question, and though at first glance Northern Ireland appeared to be unpropitious territory for the author of In Defence of Politics, his reflections illuminated a deep concern with the relationship between politics, freedom and peace. This article argues that Crick's writing on the subject constitutes a sustained appeal for a 'realism of pragmatic potential' in contrast to that despairing 'realism of impossible certainty' which, he felt, frustrated hopes for political progress.

| Summary/Abstract |
This article presents a multi–variable model for the judgement of complex events in an intercultural situation. The participants in the study were 244 female students, who expressed negative emotions towards the events. Results of comparative analysis of the three events showed that the difference was not significant, χ2(34) = 36.47, p > 0.05, the events were similar with respect to the patterns of the structures of the connections between the variables, as predicted by the theoretical model. Forming judgements according to the model’s criteria will lead to greater moderation and mutual tolerance and to advancing and developing intercultural competence.

| Summary/Abstract |
Many academics misunderstand public life and the conditions under which policy is made. This article examines misconceptions in three major academic traditions-policy as science (e.g., 'evidence-based policy'), normative political theory, and the mini-public school of deliberative democracy-and argues that the practical implications of each of these traditions are limited by their partial, shallow and etiolated vision of politics. Three constitutive features of public life, competition, publicity and uncertainty, compromise the potential of these traditions to affect in any fundamental way the practice of politics. Dissatisfaction with real existing democracy is not the consequence of some intellectual or moral failure uniquely characteristic of the persona publica, and attempts to reform it are misdirected to the extent that they imagine a better public life modeled on academic ideals.

| Summary/Abstract |
Isaiah Berlin has not attracted much attention from academic strategists. This is unfortunate, because his concept of value pluralism helps explain why strategic decisions are burdened by uncertainty. It also highlights the importance of political judgement in reducing this uncertainty and the role of history in educating political judgement.
