| Summary/Abstract |
Behind the problems of credibility of public official information in China lie two patterns of internal information distortion, one restricting the downward flow of sensitive general information and the other filtering the upward flow of local information. Information gathered at the center is increasingly restricted as it is transmitted down the bureaucracy. Meanwhile, the 'facts on the ground' are sifted by local official interests at each level of upward transmittal. Awareness of these distortions has been increased by the Internet revolution, but the structures that encourage them remain in place. An empirical survey of different levels of local cadres in Guangdong Province indicates the different perspectives produced by different positions in the internal information system. Municipal level officials, who have more general information but less diverse local information, tend to be more positive about the quality and objectivity of statistics, while their staff members, further from central sources but closer to messy local realities, are more skeptical.

| Summary/Abstract |
This article explores a number of debates that have dominated intelligence studies since the terrorist attacks of 11 September 2001. It examines a number of inherent tensions, involving individuals and institutions, which threaten the long-term compatibility of the national security state with liberal democracy. The notion as to whether or not the use of extreme coercive measures (such as torture) can ever be justified is examined, as is the question as to whether such measures are self-defeating. The piece examines how liberal democracies seek to protect themselves in the light of rapid changes via a globalised media, the Information Revolution, and the proliferation of advanced technology and weapons of mass destruction amongst state and non-state actors. These issues are discussed with particular reference to the use of intelligence in Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran, North Korea and other global trouble spots. Finally, the article speculates on the future of the increasingly enmeshed relationship between policy-makers, intelligence agencies and the media. It is concluded that, without a clear agenda for the modification of the mechanisms for accountability and oversight, this triangular relationship will, despite its interdependence, be fraught with increasing difficulties.

| Summary/Abstract |
One of the notable trends of the past century that will likely continue to strongly influence global politics in this century is the current information revolution. And with this information revolution comes an increase in the role of soft power-the ability to obtain preferred outcomes by attraction and persuasion rather than coercion and payment. Information revolutions are not new-one can think back to the dramatic effects of Gutenberg's printing press in the sixteenth century. But today's information revolution is changing the nature of power and increasing its diffusion. Sometimes called "the third industrial revolution," the current transformation is based on rapid technological advances in computers and communications that in turn have led to extraordinary declines in the costs of creating, processing, transmitting, and searching for information

| Summary/Abstract |
THE EUROPEAN UNION, one of the main load-bearing structures of the world order, is still in the process of integration; it has not yet reached its final form. From the very beginning, it was expected to become one of the most prominent initiatives of mankind and an attempt to create the most perfect system of relationships and cooperation between peoples. In many respects, the project was stimulated by the ideas and theories of the best minds of Europe from Victor Hugo and Giuseppe Mazzini, their ideas being developed by Richard von Coudenhove-Kalergi, Aristide Briand, the Mann brothers, and the contemporary authors of the European idea.

| Summary/Abstract |
The Chinese Concept of informatized warfare is the outcome of this transformation in the nation's mode of thinking. Traditional and mechanised methods of thoughts no longer work in an integrated and systems-oriented environment characterised by rapidly changing time-space relationships. As a result, the strategic focus of the transformation is on changing the style of thinking, introducing innovation in operational theory according to one source.
