AbstractScience diplomacy creates possibilities for trust building in international relations. We draw on studies of science, diplomacy, and trust in IR and explore Chinese scientific activities in the Arctic in order to sketch out four mechanisms that produce procedural and generalized forms of trust: the sharing of resources and infrastructure, personal interactions, science‐based institutions, and spillover effects. The materials of the case of 'science China' also help to question assumptions about science diplomacy in IR as they illustrate its inherent tensions, boundaries, and limitations.

At the time when the journal Sustainability [1] was launched, as a chemist and a scientist, I started to believe that social sciences may be more important to make humans sustainable. The broad journal title Social Sciences presents the opportunity for all social science scholars to have integrated consideration regarding the sustainability of humanity, because I am sure that science and technology alone cannot help. Science and technology may have in fact been contributing to accelerate the depletion of nonrenewable natural resources and putting human sustainability at risk since the industrial revolution about 150 years ago. I hope all intellectuals studying anthropology, archaeology, administration, communication, criminology, economics, education, government, linguistics, international relations, politics, sociology and, in some contexts, geography, history, law, and psychology publish with us to seek a solution to sustain humanity. Sustainability itself will also be a main topic of the journal Social Sciences. In addition to this integrated forum for social sciences, more topic specific journals, such as the already publishing Societies [2], will be launched. [.]

Historically men have sought knowledge in a variety of ways both for its own sake & in order to increase their control over the environment. Sci has increasingly made its impact on society through technical applications of sci'fic findings. Sci has thus helped to alter soc structure. At the same time increases in pop, in soc diff'tion, & heterogeneity have made necessary large-scale org. The effect has been felt in the structure of sci & the role & status of the sci'st; . for example, the individual scholar has been replaced to a considerable extent by the sci'- fic org man. Gov encouragement of some areas of sci'fic res has expanded enormously in the US, inevitably within a bur'tic framework. In the process the sci'st has come to be valued not for his scholarship but for his ability to provide solutions to specific problems & thus to increase national power. Bur 'cy has a price, but it is an org'al form which is understandably & functionally necessary & to which sci must adapt. AA.

This book demonstrates the increasing convergence of interest of some social scientists in the theories, research and findings of the life sciences in building a more interdisciplinary approach to the study of politics.
