Accumulation and dispossession: contradictions of growth and development in contemporary India / Banerjee-Guha, Swapna   Journal Article
Banerjee-Guha, Swapna Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2013.
Summary/Abstract Space and its reconstruction has emerged as one of the foremost devices of capitalist development. In this context, this paper attempts to develop a critique of the prevailing logic of 'development' in India. It argues that the contextual realities of the current exclusionist economic policy in India are defined not only by the nexus of the neo-liberal policy regime and disciplinary political authority, but also by the resistance and struggles of the dispossessed.

Air, space and cyber power: strategic choice and operational imperative / Bryant, Simon   Journal Article
Bryant, Simon Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2010.
Summary/Abstract The Strategic Defence and Security Review has recommended significant cuts across the defence establishment, affecting all armed services including the air force. However, as this decade's operations have proved, the Royal Air Force remains an essential component of modern warfare. Air Chief Marshal Simon Bryant describes how Britain's air force provides core capabilities, both in autonomous operations and as part of the joint force, across the air, space and cyber domains.

Apollo 8 genesis reading and religion in the space age / Oliver, Kendrick   Journal Article
Oliver, Kendrick Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2013.
Summary/Abstract Between January 1969 and the summer of 1975, NASA received over eight million letters and petition signatures supporting the right of American astronauts to free religious expression in space. Prompted by Madalyn Murray O'Hair's complaints about the reading of Genesis during the flight of Apollo 8, the petition campaign points to the complex ambivalent relationship between religious Americans and their nation's space program. The Genesis reading had provided reassurance that the program, with its secular motivations, its instrumental culture, and its designs upon God's very heavens, was not hostile to faith. But what if NASA now yielded to O'Hair? The petitions flowed in the eschatological anxiety that the sacred space of the skies might be cleared of Christian speech.

Applying maintenance strategies from the space and satellite se: a research agenda / Perrons, Robert K; Richards, Matthew G   Journal Article
Perrons, Robert K Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2013.
Summary/Abstract Practitioners from both the upstream oil and gas industry and the space and satellite sector have repeatedly noted several striking similarities between the two industries over the years, which have in turn resulted in many direct comparisons in the media and industry press. The two sectors have previously worked together and shared ideas in ways that have yielded some important breakthroughs, but relatively little sharing or cross-pollination has occurred in the area of asset maintenance. This is somewhat surprising in light of the fact that here, too, the sectors have much in common. This paper accordingly puts forward the viewpoint that the upstream oil and gas industry could potentially make significant improvements in asset maintenance-specifically, with regard to offshore platforms and remote pipelines-by selectively applying some aspects of the maintenance strategies and philosophies that have been learned in the space and satellite sector. The paper then offers a research agenda toward accelerating the rate of learning and sharing between the two industries in this domain, and concludes with policy recommendations that could facilitate this kind of cross-industry learning.

Appropriating a space for violence: state Buddhism in southern Thailand / Jerryson, Michael   Journal Article
Jerryson, Michael Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2009.
Summary/Abstract In southern Thailand, monasteries once served as focal points for different communal identities to negotiate shared space and, with it, shared identities. However, since martial law was declared in 2004, Muslims in southern Thailand do not frequent monasteries. Instead, soldiers and police occupy monastery buildings and protect the perimeters from attacks. In addition, there are now military monks, soldiers who are simultaneously ordained monks, who work to protect the monasteries. This article argues that the Thai State's militarisation of monasteries and the role of Buddhist monks fuel a religious dimension to the ongoing civil war in southern Thailand.

Assuming the inevitable? overcoming the inevitability of outer / Peoples, Columba   Journal Article
Peoples, Columba Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2008.
Summary/Abstract Is armed conflict in and from space inevitable? In recent years a consensus has emerged that space has become increasingly militarized - in the sense that technologies placed in outer space are increasingly used to facilitate and augment traditional military activities. But actual use of weapons in or from outer space remains highly controversial. The aim of this article is to assess the attitudes of major space-faring powers towards space weaponization. Central here, the article argues, is the question of whether the weaponization of space and/or conflict in space (taken here to mean the occurrence of military conflict in outer space itself, or from the Earth directed at any systems deployed in outer space) is inevitable, and the extent to which the major space powers espouse this proposition. This article shows that the idea of inevitability retains a prominent place (although for subtly differing reasons) in American, Chinese, and Russian perspectives on space weaponization. What it is that is inevitable frequently varies, based on assumed but underspecified technological developments. This risks creating a discursively constructed security dilemma that increases the likelihood of actual space weaponization. It leads to the conclusion that renewed negotiations between the major space powers and international cooperative agreements are essential to combat the fatalism of the inevitability thesis.

Asteroid threat? the problem of planetary defence / Bucknam, Mark; Gold, Robert   Journal Article
Bucknam, Mark Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2008.
Summary/Abstract The threat of collision from asteroids and comets calls for a three-step approach to mitigating the risks: first, find and track objects that are potentially hazardous to the Earth; second, study their characteristics so as to understand which mitigation schemes are likely to be effective; and third, test various deflection techniques to ascertain the best way to adjust the orbits of asteroids and comets, and possibly field a planetary-defence system. Each of these steps would benefit from international cooperation or agreement.

Astrosociology as the missing perspective / Pass, Jim   Journal Article
Pass, Jim Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2006.
Summary/Abstract Astrosociology represents a distinctive emergent field within the sociological discipline and outside of it, inclusive of the other social sciences and a strong connection to the natural sciences. It provides a heretofore absent focus that partly serves to complement the work of space scientists and engineers, including the space policy issues that guide the direction of their work. By adopting astrosociology, this missing perspective increases the current scope of attention by adding its focus on the societal implications of human developments related to space generally and space exploration specifically. This relationship between space and society, viewed in both causal directions, influences social change within any particular society and possesses implications for future projects and missions. Astrosociology adds a sociocultural dimension to the conventional approach of space sciences that currently devalues a social science orientation. With the addition of astrosociology, practitioners of space will become exposed to decision-making criteria normally unavailable to them under current circumstances.

At the crossroads? exploring Sindh's recent past from a spatial perspective / Ansari, Sarah   Article
Ansari, Sarah Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract This article explores Sindh, today a province in Pakistan, in terms of its spatial relationship with the various overlapping ‘worlds’ to which it has belonged in the recent past. Sindh's reputation under the British was as a sleepy backwater, located at a distance from centres of colonial power. But this simplistically static picture belies its relationship, for instance, with new communication and transportation links that connected it in different ways to places outside its immediate provincial boundaries, whether Indian, imperial or international. By the time of British India's independence, Sindh (and its port city of Karachi in particular) constituted a major crossroads: and while in the second half of the twentieth century it became more of a hub than it had ever been in its history, equally never before had so many people made it their final destination and home. This article, thus, traces the interconnected processes that, both before and since 1947, have helped to position, and arguably redefine, Sindh's place in the world.
