States The Origins, Detection, and Treatment of Dysfunctional Societies The essays in this volume were written for the third in the senes of Ford Foundation supported interdisciplinary graduate seminars on global issues The purpose of these seminars has been to encourage and enhance multidisciplinary inquiry into issues of contemporary global importance In 1993-94 the seminar focused on new concepts of the international system especially the growing regionalization of the world it was co taught by Professors Kolodziej Kathleen 'cloud and Marvin Weinbaum In 1994-95 Professor Kolodziej was joined by Professor Salim Rashid of the Department of Economics the seminar examined the growing global market economy and its impact on power legitimacy and welfare In 1995-96 the seminar codirected by Professors Stephen Cohen political science and history and Kathleen Cloud agricultural and consumer ecnomics and director of the Program in Women in International Development moved in a different direction It studied how states and societies turn pathological directing their power either against their own people—which in its extreme form can lead to genocide—or against other states—war It also explored the ways in which we might better detect prevent or ameliorate the actions of such states For the purpose of this course pathological was defined as the presence of one or more of the following phenomenon acute famine genocide against a state s own people or in the course of a war with a neighbor large refugee populations and the attack during wartime on unarmed civilian populations—the latter obviously includes city busting attacks which culminated in the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki but also includes the sowing of mines that cripple or kill civilians for years afterwards Approximately two thirds of the course was organized around a series of intensive case studies These covered Western and non Western states industrialized and non industrialized societies They examined famine Bengal and Sahel total war Hiroshima genocide Cambodia and the Holocaust the generation of large refugee populations an African case study and chronic social conflict Northern Ireland Each case study examined the history and evolution of the event(s) and its (or their) cultural cinematic and literary representations using the case studies to test various explanatory theories drawn from anthropology political science sociology and psychology The role of technology and economics was also studied The research papers—written by students from a wide variety of disciplines ranging from nuclear engineering to philosophy and including two medical scholars Mathew Doolittle and Niranjan Karmk who were enrolled in a special joint MD/Ph D degree program—deal with a variety of state and social pathologies from a suitably wide set of perspectives There were also two outstanding undergraduates who asked and were permitted to join the seminar Jennifer Bashaw and Claire Sheahan their papers are also included The papers are organized into four parts The first is a group of three essays that deal with various aspects of known and familiar case studies Claire Sheahan examines the moral and political consequence of the Irish Diaspora Adam Ciralsky literally takes a fresh look at the issue of bombing the gas chambers at Auschwitz by an examination of photographic evidence available to policy makers and Jason Sharman attempts to recalculate more accurately the victims of Stalin s repression and internal nationalities policies V V/ Foreword The four chapters in part two provide fresh insights into contemporary or emerging situations of mass social violence two political scientists Sardesai and Eisenhuth look at the policy issues surrounding ethnic and regional conflict in India and Iraq two sociologists Karnik and Pintar look at the plight of refugees caught in episodes of ethnic cleansing in Rwanda and Bosnia The third section examines the role professionals soldiers and scientists play Jennifer Bashaw now a navy officer wrote on the role of women in the most violent of all professions the military Solomon Woods a commissioned officer in the U S Army compared military professionalism in the United States and Nigeria and the role of scientists in developing weapons of mass destruction atomic bombs is the subject of an essay by Ji Qiang a nuclear engineering student from the People s Republic of China The final section contains four papers three deal with the ethical dimensions of contemporary social and political violence Matthew Doolittle who wrote on measuring suffering and pain Donald Moulds who developed a theory of social violence and Robert Manaster who attempted to develop a new global ethic to guide policy makers and citizens alike when confronted with episodes of state violence The final paper by Jennifer Wheary from the Department of Educational Policy Studies examines the way in which the internet is used by extremist as well as human rights groups The course syllabus and additional student writings produced during the course of the seminar appear in the Appendixes One of the most welcome aspects of this seminar was the participation by a number of students who were ACDIS Interdisciplinary Fellows in 1995-96 Ji Qiang Niranjan Karnik Jennifer Wheary and Donald Moulds As the papers m this volume reveal their work and those of the other participants in this seminar is suffused with a sense of what is of supreme human and moral importance as well as rigorous in its approach and methodology It is no chore to teach such students they suggest the accuracy of the Latin phrase doce ut discas Teach that you may learn None of the papers presented in this volume would have been possible without the financial support of the Ford Foundation Their support has made an impact on this campus and contributed more generally to the development of interdisciplinary studies and their utility in solving global problems Thanks are also due to Merrily Shaw assistant director of ACDIS who coordinated the seminar and served as publisher for this collection Stephen Philip Cohen

  • Spinorial Regge Trajectories and Hagedorn-Like Temperatures
    EPJ Web of Conferences will be set by the publisher DOI: will be set by the publisher c Owned by the authors, published by EDP Sciences, 2016 Spinorial Regge trajectories and Hagedorn-like temperatures Spinorial space-time and preons as an alternative to strings Luis Gonzalez-Mestres1;a 1Megatrend Cosmology Laboratory, John Naisbitt University, Belgrade and Paris Goce Delceva 8, 11070 Novi Beograd, Serbia Abstract. The development of the statistical bootstrap model for hadrons, quarks and nuclear matter occurred during the 1960s and the 1970s in a period of exceptional theo- retical creativity. And if the transition from hadrons to quarks and gluons as fundamental particles was then operated, a transition from standard particles to preons and from the standard space-time to a spinorial one may now be necessary, including related pre-Big Bang scenarios. We present here a brief historical analysis of the scientific problematic of the 1960s in Particle Physics and of its evolution until the end of the 1970s, including cos- mological issues. Particular attention is devoted to the exceptional role of Rolf Hagedorn and to the progress of the statisticak boostrap model until the experimental search for the quark-gluon plasma started being considered. In parallel, we simultaneously expose recent results and ideas concerning Particle Physics and in Cosmology, an discuss current open questions. Assuming preons to be constituents of the physical vacuum and the stan- dard particles excitations of this vacuum (the superbradyon hypothesis we introduced in 1995), together with a spinorial space-time (SST), a new kind of Regge trajectories is expected to arise where the angular momentum spacing will be of 1/2 instead of 1.

This means that China is one of the five states that are allowed to keep a nuclear weapons arsenal under the Treaty of the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT) from 1968. China has always maintained that it follows a policy of minimal credible deterrence, and will adhere to a strict none first use policy under all circumstances. Chine has avoided building up a very large arsenal, but has instead relied on a policy of quantitative and geographic ambiguity, keeping all information about the number of weapons and their location strictly secret. Over the years, China’s nuclear programme has gone through a substantial development, in spite of economic restrictions, especially in the early years, and relatively few, 47 recorded, test explosions. Although the total number of weapons probably is kept low, most analysts estimate around 240 warheads. China has several nuclear capable missile types, including intercontinental ballistic missiles, submarine launched missiles and possible cruise missiles, and is currently believed to be in the process of developing a multiple independently targetable re-entry vehicles (MIRV) technology.
