Reasons behind Reasons: A Communitarian Reading of Women’s Radicalization and Family Bombings in Southeast Asia
This paper analyses conceptual frameworks that have been suggested in the literature for understanding women’s radicalization, including the emergent phenomenon of family bombings, focusing on Indonesia and Malaysia. We argue that understanding these trends requires grappling with socio-culturally specific gender-related concepts and that the liberal political theory framework that has informed a significant body of research in this area, with it…

Conceptual frameworks for social and cultural Big Data analytics: Answering the epistemological challenge
This paper aims to contribute to the development of tools to support an analysis of Big Data as manifestations of social processes and human behaviour. Such a task demands both an understanding of the epistemological challenge posed by the Big Data phenomenon and a critical assessment of the offers and promises coming from the area of Big Data analytics. This paper draws upon the critical social and data scientists' view on Big Data as an epistem…
Scientific justification of social policies: Concepts of Language and Immigrant Integration
Population mobility, globalisation, and the Internet contribute to the change of immigration patterns and the emergence of new kinds of identities and integration strategies. It is necessary to re-examine the heuristic significance of this field's key concepts in order to ensure that relevant and theoretically sound knowledge consistently informs integration policies, measures, and programmes. This paper focuses on the concepts of language and ma…
Social media data in the disaster context
Social media (SM) are fast becoming a locus of disaster-related activities that range from volunteers helping locate disaster victims to actions that are malicious and offensive, from sincere expressions of empathy towards affected communities to consuming disaster imagery for mere entertainment, from recovery support funds being collected to online marketers preying on the attention afforded to a disaster event. Because of the diversity and shee…
Social Media, Disaster Studies, and Human Communication
Most sociologists of knowledge and science tend to agree that significant advances in an area come less from the accumulation of empirical studies, but more from reconceptualizations of basic ideas and definitions [1, p. 38]
Social Modeling and Simulation for National Security
Ethical challenges emerge from the use of social modeling and simulation (M&S) for national security (NS) analysis. These challenges differ from those created in surveillance and data gathering technologies. In surveillance and data gathering, the primary concern is the physical or moral harm to citizens, and solutions are sought through legal regulation. In the case of modeling and simulation, the ethical issues may be less obvious. They relate …
Global ICT-Mediated Collaborations: Thinking Beyond Networks
Social laws differ from natural laws they can be made an object of reflection and, therefore, change. When it comes to ICT-mediated collaboration, the concept of technology developed within computer science may be critically re-examined in terms of its heuristic significance. This article contributes to this task by challenging the universal applicability of the network perspective on collaboration. It suggests that an activity-focused paradigm c…
The role of technology in intelligence practice: Linking the developer and the user perspectives
Technology has penetrated the social fabric of security practices so deeply that it is often used without much reflection on its role, significance and implications. This naturalisation of technology makes it difficult for practitioners to develop their own vision of technology. They may become subject to the coercive power of technology, and appropriate the narrow technological paradigm embodied in their tools. This, in turn, makes it difficult …
The internet and the changing nature of intelligence
This article focuses on the "intelligence and ICT" issue, and seeks to understand how knowledge about the nature of intelligence in an age of transparency can help technology developers provide tools that effectively support activities related to national security, intelligence, and decision making. This discussion aims to contribute to an analysis of broader issues such as the technologist community's leadership, engineering ethics and social re…
Conceptualisation of Terrorism in Modelling Tools: Critical Reflexive Approach
This paper outlines a critical reflexive approach to an assessment of modelling/simulation tools. The concepts of terrorism and terrorism threat in modelling literature are analysed and compared with the contesting definitions of terrorism in political science and counter‐terrorism discourse. Possible social implications of using particular concepts of terrorism and terrorism threat are identified. This study discusses how modellers provide bette…
