Contested Energy
The Scottish Government's decision in January 2010 to approve the construction of the Beauly-Denny power line brings an end to a long-running public dispute. 1 The decision, the Public Inquiry which preceded it, and the proposal to build the 220 km, 4C0kV transmission line through some of Scotland's most revered mountain scenery, have all focused attention on two of the key questions of Scottish economic historiography: what and who are the Highl…
Arab Storm
Presents unique insights from key player in first Gulf War, who continues to have an extremely high profile. There is renewed interest in diplomacy of first Gulf War in wake of current Iraq crisis. As Iraqi troops surged into Kuwait in 1990, British Ambassador to Saudi Arabia Alan Munro played a vital role in both forging and maintaining a formidable coalition to evict them. Never before had Western and Arab states fought side by side against ano…
Work/place
Wireless, portable communication devices continue to promise newer and better ways of being constantly available and in touch with information and with other people. In tandem with developments in wireless, mobile access, dreams of refashioning the world of work are woven: if we are to believe the rhetoric, work activities and communications can now take place anytime, anywhere. In this short paper, we raise a number of issues that have been appe…
Inhabiting space
We wish to look at the ways in which we use 'places' in our everyday lives. We wish particularly to look at a certain type of place, which we think may provide some insights into the ways in which we can create places and spaces of different types in the virtual world, making them as enduring or as ephemeral as we might wish. Particularly, we will look at the ways in which different communities can overlap in a given space
Research directions in designing intercultural interactions in collaborative virtual communities
As applications and environments supporting collaborative virtual communities (CVEs) become increasingly available, opportunities to work, learn, play, and share experiences trans-culturally are not only more appealing, but also more feasible. Distributed cross-cultural and cross-organizational interactions are here, now. The emergence of such synchronous, post-geographical, virtual communities raises particular issues around fostering the interc…
Humanitarianism and conflict in a post-Cold War world
La fin de la guerre froide, caractérisée entre autres, par des relations relativement stables entre les super-puissances, a laissé un vacuum dans les rapports intemationaux. Dans certaines parties du monde, les conflits font rage. Cette situation accroît les responsabilités de tous les acteurs sur la scène internationale — États, Nations Unies, organisations non gouvemementales —, en vue de résoudre ces tensions. Les organisations à but humanitai…
