| Summary/Abstract |
This contribution argues that, without an ethical operational code, scholars’, policymakers’, businesspersons’, and citizens’ policy positions simply become expedient reactions to
perceived problems, opportunities, and interests. Without
ethical footing, policies as a whole will lack coherence, staying power, and persuasive force. Key elements of an ethical
operational code include: philosophical grounding and core
values, concepts of social and historical development, and
rules of thumb derived from an individual’s experience. Providing several examples of China-related policy issues which
would benefit from the ethical operational code approach,
this essay then discusses the analytic elements of an operational code. It concludes by arguing that, in the context of
US-China relations, individuals should develop ethical constructs characterized by patience, more carrots than sticks,
and more open doors than high walls. In what is emerging as
an increasingly ideologically polarized domestic and foreign
policy circumstance in the United States and in U.S.-China
relations, the starting point for an individual needs to be
self-reflection concerning what they believe and why

| Summary/Abstract |
Ruth Porat has taken an unusual path to the tech world. Before becoming the chief financial officer at Google in May 2015 (and then at Alphabet, Google’s new parent company, a few months later), she held the same post at Morgan Stanley, where among other roles she worked closely with the U.S. government to sort out the troubles at the insurance corporation AIG and the mortgage-financing agencies Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac during the 2008 financial crisis. On the shortlist to become deputy treasury secretary in 2013 (before she withdrew [1] her name), Porat, who Politico [2] once referred to as “the most powerful woman on Wall Street,” is now one of the most powerful women in Silicon Valley as well. Some six months into the new job, she met with Foreign Affairs’ managing editor, Jonathan Tepperman, in New York to discuss her move and the global economy.

| Summary/Abstract |
Cultural norms and trends are often reflected in patterns of language use. This article explores cultural perceptions of Palestine and Palestinians in the English-speaking world, through two analyses of large linguistic datasets. The first analysis seeks to uncover current conceptions of participants in the Israel-Palestine conflict, by identifying words that are distinctively associated with those participants in modern English usage. The second analysis asks what historical-cultural changes led to these current conceptions. A general theme that emerges from these analyses is that a cultural shift appears to have occurred recently in the English-speaking world, marked by greater awareness of Palestinian perspectives on the conflict. Possible causes for such a cultural shift are also explored.

| Summary/Abstract |
The recent copyright controversy, the Google Books litigation, has revived interest in the role that opt-in requirements can play in copyright law. Google Books sought to make every book in the English language text-searchable. To realize this goal, however, Google intended to scan the text of each such book - thereby making a copy - the right to which was vested in different persons around the world. This number of persons amounted to millions and gaining access to all was an onerous task. So, when the company failed to get permission from all the copyright owners, it gave two options to the authors either to opt-out of the copyright or agree to it by as per the result of a class action litigation. In both these circumstances, the user of the copyright had the right to exploit, without authorization, unless the copyright holder took affirmative action. It is the essence of opt-in system in copyright which reared its head once more along with this controversy. This paper critically examines the protection regime in copyright law and the philosophy of protection given to any author over his/her original creation in the light of the above mentioned controversy bearing a potential impact over the fair use doctrine in copyright law. In the present context of highly digitalized society, the dilemma is whether an opt-out system is the need of the hour or the opt-in system should regain its place.

| Summary/Abstract |
he launch and development of the Internet in China has the same origins and the same "generic characteristics" as the birth and advance of civil society in that country. Unlike the West European or North American models, the state here is practically alone in full control of this initiative. To the exclusion of anyone else, government authorities have a dominant role in institutionalizing and legitimizing both the foundations of civil society and the Internet environment.

| Summary/Abstract |
UNTIL VERY RECENTLY, it had been a general mantra in the United States that it was wrong to put any restrictions on the Internet or bring it under any control. Silicon Valley innovators who designed social network platforms didn't worry too much about how the latter might be used. They planned to organize online communities where members would have facilities for comfortable intercommunication and trade. They had in mind conflict-free, purely progressive development of U.S. digital society and assumed that their designs were far ahead of the resources of terrorists.

| Summary/Abstract |
Google search data have several major advantages over traditional survey data. First, the high costs of running frequent surveys mean that most survey questions are only asked occasionally making comparisons over time difficult. By contrast, Google Trends provides information on search trends measured weekly. Second, there are many countries where surveys are only conducted sporadically, whereas Google search data are available anywhere in the world where sufficient numbers of people use its search engine. The Google Trends website allows researchers to download data for almost all countries at no cost and to download time series of any search term's popularity over time (provided enough people have searched for it). For these reasons, Google Trends is an attractive data source for social scientists.
