| 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.

| Summary/Abstract |
Expanding on the works of Beck and others on the growing business of risk, this article examines the role of the private security industry in the creation, management and perpetuation of the world risk society. It observes that the replacement of the concept of security with risk over the past decades has permitted private firms to identify a growing range of unknown and unknown-unknown dangers which cannot be eliminated, but require permanent risk management. Using the discourse of risk and its strategies of commercialised, individualised and reactive risk management, the private risk industry thus has contributed to the rise of a world risk society in which the demand for security can never be satisfied and guarantees continuous profits.

| Summary/Abstract |
In a global system in which economic liberalism reigns supreme, law can only become an instrument to facilitate trade, as the internationalisation of intellectual property rights shows. Abhik Guha Roy points out that the legal system is increasingly used in the service of dominant business interests at the expense of true social justice. Will this evolution of legal concepts lead to a worldwide revolt against the contemporary notion of law?.

| Summary/Abstract |
For many people working about and being interested in Laos the two editors (Boute and Pholsena) are well known icons of scientific research about their area of expertise. Vatthana Pholsena, in particular, has in the past published a number of articles and books that are essential when doing research about Laos, which Western media sometimes like to compare with North Korea when talking about political backgrounds. All the writers of the different chapters of this book are in their way similarly outstanding even if they are not as famous as the editors.

| Summary/Abstract |
Much of the literature on the contemporary Middle East explores the relationship of strong, authoritarian states with Islamist groups; the professional literature also has examined the role of strong societies with weak states. There has been less study of the role of the various players in weak states with weak societies. This article examines the cases of Palestine and Iraq, two societies undergoing occupation and with weak state structures, and the role of Islamist and other movements within them.

| Summary/Abstract |
The parallel development of the inter- and non-governmental Commonwealths on the one hand and the field of International Relations and its oldest journal, The Round Table, on the other, should not go unnoticed at the start of the second decade of the century. This article suggests that the Commonwealth nexus has always constituted a distinctive perspective and debate in both the metropole and the rest of the Commonwealth's expanding official and unofficial networks. The Commonwealth 'School' both reinforces and contrasts with other non-US and non-hegemonic approaches presently animating the field.

| Summary/Abstract |
In the aftermath of the famine in 1962, Mao Zedong took formal responsibility for the failure of the Great Leap Forward in the name of the central government. Thousands of local cadres were made scapegoats and were legally punished. This article focuses on the question of how the different levels of the Chinese state, such as the central government, the province and the county, have dealt with the question of responsibility for the famine. The official explanation for the failure of the Great Leap will be compared to unofficial memories of intellectuals, local cadres and villagers. The case study of Henan province shows that local cadres are highly dissatisfied with the official evaluation of responsibility. Villagers bring suffering, starvation and terror into the discourse, but these memories are constructed in a way to preserve village harmony. This article explains why these different discourses about responsibility of the famine are unlinked against the background of the "dual society"; the separation between urban and rural China. Finally, it will be shown that the Communist Party was unable to convince parts of society and the Party to accept the official interpretation.

| Summary/Abstract |
Clausewitz described the nature of war in terms of a trinity that could be associated to relationships between the armed forces, the government and society. This paper examines if this trinity is fundamentally affected by three current processes: the increasing use of civilians to supplement or replace military capabilities; the growing employment of unmanned systems; and the rapidly developing capabilities and potential of cyber-based operations. Each of these areas is considered in turn, highlighting how the processes bring about changes between the traditional roles in providing national security of the elements of Clausewitz's trinity. This paper concludes that the changes wrought by the processes of civilianisation, automation and cyber operations do pose significant challenges to the armed forces, but these are evolutionary rather than revolutionary. The wider issue is the increasing reliance of the government on private organisations and other nations to provide the full range of national security measures, and it is in these areas where much work is required to continue to assure security.
