| Summary/Abstract |
A high level of trust between two parties has long been shown to lead to more efficient and successful outcomes to business transactions. The Ministry of Defence (MoD) has traditionally had a confrontational relationship with its suppliers. Yet at the individual and project-team level in the MoD's procurement arm, DE&S, trusting relationships with defence suppliers are often generated. William Meddings and Nigel Jones examine the factors that lead DE&S project teams to trust their suppliers. Their conclusions reinforce the view that trust is overwhelmingly built up by interaction between people rather than organisations.

On May 24, 2014, a man opened fire inside the Jewish Museum in Brussels, quickly killing three people and fatally wounding a fourth before disappearing into the city’s streets. The alleged perpetrator, a French citizen named Mehdi Nemmouche, who has since been arrested and charged with murder, had spent the previous year fighting with jihadist opposition groups in Syria. His attack appeared to mark the first time that the Syrian civil war had spilled over into the European Union. Many security officials in Europe and the United States fear that this strike foreshadowed a spate of terrorist attacks that the chaos in Syria—and now Iraq—could trigger.

The Scottish Attitudes ... is now the big question. If powers are not forthcoming, it will make next year’s UK general election ... a membership of over 70,000, is now the third largest political party in the UK, overtaking the Lib Dems.

Burkina Faso ousted a leader who overstayed his welcome. Should other West African leaders watch their backs?
The government of Burkina Faso’s deposed president, Blaise Compaoré, was a cornerstone of French and US security policy in the northwest of Africa. For 27 years, he was the immovable guarantor of internal and external stability. Or so it seemed. But then, within 48 hours at the end of October 2014, he was gone.

| Summary/Abstract |
The rise of China’s rights defence movement has occurred in tandem with the rapid development of the Internet in China. Various forms of rights defence inside and outside of the courtroom have emerged and developed alongside changes to China’s ideological, political, and legal systems and social structure. Similarly, Internet technology such as microblogs and other social media are enriching the modalities of activity in the rights defence movement, enhancing the mobilisation capacity of activists, and accelerating the systematisation of popular rights defence, profoundly affecting China’s ongoing political transformation.
