В статье рассматриваются особенности ряда известных прогностических концепций или «кратких историй» будущего на первую половину XXI века, а также ключевые тренды и тенденции современности, на которых они основаны. Отдельное внимание в этом ключе уделяется перспективам формирования ноократического миропорядка. Автор делает попытку осмысления ноократии сквозь призму интегральной теории и концепции спиральной динамики как потенциально перспективную модель будущего мирополитического устройства, соответствующую логике исторического развития.

ABSTRACT
We constructed a co-authorship network of the global political science community. Two scientists are connected if they have co-authored a paper. We drew on more than 67,000 papers published from 1990 to 2013 in one of today's 96 core journals. The network consists of more than 40,000 authors located worldwide. We found that the community forms a single, interconnected component as well as numerous unconnected authors. Whereas some are highly productive in terms of publications, the majority of authors published only a single paper, which suggests significant turnover in the community. Using information from the papers (e.g., title, journal, and abstract), we investigated how different subcommunities organize and interconnect, how journals reach out into the community, and how individual scientists cooperate. We also investigated how the network has evolved in the last two decades. Our analysis is supplemented by a bibliographic analysis that describes major changes in publication patterns.

The crypto wars have raged for half a century.In the 1970s, digital privacy activists prophesied the emergence of an Orwellian State, made possible by computer-mediated mass surveillance. The antidote: digital encryption. The U.S. government warned encryption would not only prevent surveillance of law-abiding citizens, but of criminals, terrorists, and foreign spies, ushering in a rival dystopian future. Both parties fought to defend the citizenry from what they believed the most perilous threats. The government tried to control encryption to preserve its surveillance capabilities; privacy activists armed citizens with cryptographic tools and challenged encryption regulations in the courts. No clear victor has emerged from the crypto wars. Governments have failed to forge a framework to govern the, at times conflicting, civil liberties of privacy and security in the digital age-an age when such liberties have an outsized influence on the citizen-State power balance. Solving this problem is more urgent than ever. Digital privacy will be one of the most important factors in how we architect twenty-first century societies-its management is paramount to our stewardship of democracy for future generations. We must elevate the quality of debate on cryptography, on how we govern security and privacy in our technology-infused world. Failure to end the crypto wars will result in societies sleepwalking into a future where the citizen-State power balance is determined by a twentieth-century status quo unfit for this century, endangering both our privacy and security. This book provides a history of the crypto wars, with the hope its chronicling sets a foundation for peace

Most people studying American History learn at an early age that the "Thirteen Colonies" revolted in 1775 and after eight long hard years won their independence with the Treaty of Paris in 1783. What most of them weren't taught is that the British actually founded 14 colonies on the Atlantic coastline of North America. Twelve colonies were founded in the 1600s, the 13th colony, Georgia, was not settled until 1733, a void of sixty three years. The 14th and last was Nova Scotia founded in 1749. The American Revolution not only created one country but two: The United States of America and British North America, later Canada. This event was followed by a great influx of refugees from South to North, a displacement of people among equals, who either did not want to live in a different state or with a different allegiance or were forced to leave because of its convictions.

M. F. Le Lionnais a créé une active Association des Écrivains scientifiques, qu'il dirige avec compétence. Ce groupement a tenu l'an dernier au Palais de la Découverte une discussion sur ce thème : Qui doit vulgariser la Science?Le sujet est d'actualité, spécialement pour nos sciences pré- et protohistoriques non encore intégrées — ou peu s'en faut — dans l'Enseignement. Il s'ensuit que les livres de bonne qualité scientifique se vendent peu, et que les grands éditeurs s'adressent à des spécialistes de la vulgarisation romancée. Ces derniers font sans doute de leur mieux : ils lisent, en quelques trimestres, quelques manuels et beaucoup de vulgarisations, y glanent une foison de termes spéciaux, de dates, qu'ils comprennent souvent mal, et recherchent avant tout, en bons journalistes, le paradoxe, l'antithèse, l'anecdote à effet. C'est la course au sensationnel, où l'imagination se taille la part du lion.

"To Be Unfree" is a collection of essays investigating how political unfreedom has been and can be articulated within the republican tradition of political thought. The book combines a theoretical discussion of how freedom and its opposites have been conceptualized in the republican tradition with a broader perspective on this tradition's impact on the representation of unfreedom in Western literature and cultural history. It thus complicates our understanding of what it means to be unfree and unveils a series of distinctions which also shape our modern notions of freedom
