Connaissances ichtyologiques sous forme emblématique
Notre article examine la relation intermédiale et réciproque entre l’ichtyologie et l’emblématique à l’époque de la première modernité, en prenant comme cas d’étude le poisson sargus et son attirance pour les chèvres, thème bien connu de l’Antiquité classique (Oppien, Pline et autres). Des auteurs et artistes naturalistes et emblématistes du XVIe siècle comme Alciat, Gessner, Rondelet, Joris Hoefnagel et Joachim Camerarius sont évoqués. Leur thém…
Early Modern Catalogues of Imaginary Books
For this bilingual (English-French) anthology of early modern fictitious catalogues, selections were made from a multitude of texts, from the genre’s beginnings (Rabelais’s satirical catalogue of the Library of St.-Victor (1532)) to its French and Dutch specimens from around 1700. In thirteen chapters, written by specialists in the field, diverse texts containing fictitious booklists are presented and contextualized. Several of these texts are we…
Natural History in Early Modern France
Strategic partners or an emerging alliance? India and the United States in an era of global power transition
The Indian Ocean region (IOR) is on the frontline of a global shift in the balance of power involving such countries as China, the United States, and India. Underpinning this transition is the growing relationship between India and the United States, which runs counter to Cold War–era trends and India’s traditional reluctance to align with other major powers. However, the question of whether this tightening relationship between New Delhi and Wash…
How do I know if I’ve improved my continental scale flood early warning system
Flood early warning systems mitigate damages and loss of life and are an economically efficient way of enhancing disaster resilience. The use of continental scale flood early warning systems is rapidly growing. The European Flood Awareness System (EFAS) is a pan-European flood early warning system forced by a multi-model ensemble of numerical weather predictions. Responses to scientific and technical changes can be complex in these computationall…
Emblems and the Natural World
Since its invention by Andrea Alciato, the emblem is inextricably connected to the natural world. Alciato and his followers drew massively their inspiration from it. For their information about nature, the emblem authors were greatly indebted to ancient natural history, the medieval bestiaries, and the 15th- and 16th-century proto-emblematics, especially the imprese. The natural world became the main topic of, for instance, Camerarius’s botanical…
The Terrorism Ahead
This book examines the evolving threat of terrorism and draws on the latest research to assess future trends. The author assumes that terrorism will remain a potent threat to the international system throughout the twenty-first century, primarily because of the convergence of two negative trends: the availability of Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear Weapons (CBRN) - also known as Weapons of Mass Destruction - and the proliferation o…
Terrorism and Violence in Southeast Asia: Transnational Challenges to States and Regional Stability
Terrorism and Violence in Southeast Asia
The Tilting Triangle
For more than six decades, the geopolitics of South Asia have been shaped by a symbiotic and triangular relationship involving India, Pakistan, and China. A succession of interstate conflicts has created two fundamental and enduring security structures, one rooted in India's partition and subsequent Indo-Pakistan wars (the “1947 structure”) and the other in a persistent and often antagonistic Sino-Indian rivalry, including a border conflict in 19…
La présence de la littérature française renaissante dans les catalogues des ventes aux enchères en Hollande au XVIIe siècle. Bilan et perspectives
How does one gauge the reception of French Renaissance authors in the Netherlands? Auction catalogues from private libraries are certainly the most useful tools for this endeavour, and we have knowledge of them thanks to studies by many scholars. The project Book Sales Catalogues of the Dutch Republic—by the Royal Library of The Hague and of the University of Leiden—made available to researchers a large corpus of sales catalogues from the sevente…
Climate Change
The China–Pakistan–United States Strategic Triangle
The U.S. Navy SEAL raid in Abbottabad, Pakistan, and Islamabad's subsequent turn toward China have highlighted one of the most remarkable legacies of the Cold War: the persistence of a strategic triangle composed of China, Pakistan, and the United States. Throughout much of the Cold War, China and the United States competed to keep Pakistan within their particular sphere of influence, while Pakistan deftly took advantage of the subtle power strug…
The geopolitics of climate change
Climate change is emerging as one of the primary geopolitical challenges of the early twenty-first century, one that will likely involve military engagements and deployments in both traditional and non-traditional missions. Unlike mass casualty terrorism, climate change does not have a single galvanising event that can encourage collective mitigation efforts by both developed and developing states. International efforts to counter putative climat…
Bonaventura Vulcanius, Works and Networks
The last of the Renaissance humanists, Bonaventura Vulcanius, is still a mysterious figure, even though he left a correspondence, at least two Alba amicorum, and a collection of books and manuscripts. Born in Bruges in 1538, the son of a disciple of Erasmus, he spent the troubled decades of 1560 and 1570 in wanderings before his appointment in 1581 as a Professor for Greek and Latin Letters at the University of Leiden. He edited and translated ma…
China's Economic and Political Rise
As a rising power in the international system, China is discovering that, like many states before it, the ascendancy to great power status sometimes entails significant terrorism risks. Recent attacks against Chinese nationals (or commercial interests) in Africa, Central Asia, and South Asia appear to reflect this trend. In addition, since the early 1990s, China has endured a series of violent attacks emanating from (or associated with) its resti…
China-Japan Relations and the Future Geopolitics of East Asia
Recent naval ship visits and exchanges of goodwill between China and Japan suggest an improvement in the two countries' bilateral relationship, which had been steadily deteriorating since the late 1990s. In the longer term, however, Sino-Japanese relations will likely be tested or constrained by five key sets of issues: (1) territorial and resource disputes, (2) nationalism and issues of mutual antipathy, (3) Taiwan's political status, (4) the ra…
Terrorism in the year 2020
The intelligence failures associated with the 9/11 attacks in the United States have emphasized the challenges government leaders face when trying to predict specific terrorist attacks. A complementary approach focuses on strategic forecasting, which prioritizes assessment of and response to longer-term trends that may shape the evolution of terrorism. Viewed from a historical perspective, terrorism has been influenced by three key drivers: ideat…
A Handbook of Terrorism and Insurgency in Southeast Asia
Early Modern Zoology
The new definition of the animal is one of the fascinating features of the intellectual life of the early modern period. The sixteenth century saw the invention of the new science of zoology. This went hand in hand with the (re)discovery of anatomy, physiology and – in the seventeenth century – the invention of the microscope. The discovery of the new world confronted intellectuals with hitherto unknown species, which found their way into courtly…

On Toucans And Hornbills
This chapter presents a chronological discussion of the principal texts on two bird families, Toucans and Hornbills, beginning with Pierre Belon du Mans in the sixteenth-century - the age of their discovery - and ending with Georges-Louis Leclerc, Count of Buffon, who wrote the most influential ornithology of the Enlightenment. It enables us to outline the history of the scientific knowledge of both bird families. But as a case study it also hope…

The strategic implications of Chinese emigration
The paradox of modern China is that despite unprecedented economic growth averaging around 13% per year hundreds of thousands of Chinese are leaving their homeland every year in search of economic opportunities or political freedom....The evidence of criminal gangs either organising or facilitating illegal migration from China suggests that the phenomenon cannot be viewed as merely an immigration issue. Reasons for this widespread emigration are …

Effect of Escapable versus Inescapable Shock on Avoidance Behavior in the Goldfish ( Carassius Auratus )
Following exposure to either escapable, inescapable, or no shock, goldfish were tested on an avoidance task. Differences in latency consistent with the hypothesis that helplessness is learned were present only on the first block of five trials. While reliable differences in the number of trials to the first avoidance response supported an interpretation as learned helplessness, differences in the total number of avoidance responses did not

Human Smuggling
Paul Smith, the editor of Human Smuggling, asserts that global organized crime and illegal immigration are two transnational issues that have reached the highest levels of policy concern in the United States, and that human smuggling is the main phenomenon wherein these two issues are encompassed. While Mexico and other countries of Latin America have received most attention with respect to these issues, the authors of this collection of essays m…
Transnational Security Threats and State Survival
On 20 August 1998, an undisclosed number of US Navy ships and submarines located in the Arabian and Red seas launched more than 79 cruise missiles in a simultaneous attack on alleged terrorist targets in Afghanistan and Sudan. Afghanistan-bound missiles targeted the Zhawar Kili Al-Badr Camp, an alleged terrorist training facility located about 160 kilometers southeast of the country's capital, Kabul. The Sudanese target was a manufacturing facili…
