In Science and Technology for Development, James Smith explores the complex relationship between society and technology, and the potential for science to make sustainable contributions to global development. Drawing on case studies from Africa, Latin America and Asia, the author argues that we need to think carefully about science and development, otherwise the perpetual promise of future technological breakthroughs may simply work to distance meaningful development from the present

John Lehmann was one of the most influential figures to emerge in 1930s British literary life, with his editorial work at venues such as New Writing and the Hogarth Press connecting him to many of the key cultural networks of the era. During the Second World War he was blocked from staff roles in intelligence and information agencies, but still managed to undertake a range of broadcasting for the BBC. Drawing on the archives of MI5, the BBC, and the Political Warfare Executive, this article sheds new light on Lehmann's war work and the often-covert debates occurring between agencies as they assessed Lehmann's potential for such work. Through this, this article shows how tensions over politics, sexuality, and class affected Lehmann's access to the BBC, and more broadly it illustrates the roles of state security and propaganda agencies in the recruitment of prominent authors to new wartime broadcasting networks.
In April 2008 the Scottish Government, headed by a minority nationalist administration, published an Action Plan on European Engagement which sets out the Scottish National Party's (SNP) key strategies and priorities for achieving effective sub-national inputs to European Union (EU) policy. Although responsibility for EU affairs is reserved to Westminster under the UK devolution settlement, longstanding mechanisms for territorial involvement have enabled a degree of Scottish input to EU policy. This article considers how the SNP administration might wish to see reform of these mechanisms and the scope for change under existing devolution arrangements.
