Political Parties: James Mitchell 11. Public Policies: Barry Winetrobe ISBN: 1 903903 09 2 Introduction James Mitchell The policy agenda for the last quarter in Scotland was distinct from that south of the border while there was some overlap. Matters such as identity cards and foundation hospitals are figuring prominently north of the border though long-running issues concerned with health and law and order were important. In health, differences exist at policy level but also in terms of rhetoric – with the Health Minister refusing to refer to patients as ‘customers’. This suggests divergence without major disputes in devolutionary politics. An issue which has caused problems across Britain and was of significance this quarter was the provision of accommodation for asylum seekers as well as the education of the children of asylum seekers. Though asylum is a retained matter, the issue has devolutionary dimension as education is a devolved matter. The other significant event was the challenge to John Swinney’s leadership of the Scottish National Party. A relatively unknown party activist challenged Swinney resulting in a drawn-out campaign over the Summer which culminated in a massive victory for Swinney at the SNP’s annual conference.

  • Mutual Watching and Resistance to Mass Surveillance After Snowden
    Media and Communication (ISSN: 2183-2439) 2015, Volume 3, Issue 3, Pages 12-25 Doi: 10.17645/mac.v3i3.277 Article “Veillant Panoptic Assemblage”: Mutual Watching and Resistance to Mass Surveillance after Snowden Vian Bakir School of Creative Studies and Media, Bangor University, Bangor, LL57 2DG, UK; E-Mail: [email protected] Submitted: 9 April 2015 | In Revised Form: 16 July 2015 | Accepted: 4 August 2015 | Published: 20 October 2015 Abstract The Snowden leaks indicate the extent, nature, and means of contemporary mass digital surveillance of citizens by their intelligence agencies and the role of public oversight mechanisms in holding intelligence agencies to account. As such, they form a rich case study on the interactions of “veillance” (mutual watching) involving citizens, journalists, intelli- gence agencies and corporations. While Surveillance Studies, Intelligence Studies and Journalism Studies have little to say on surveillance of citizens’ data by intelligence agencies (and complicit surveillant corporations), they offer insights into the role of citizens and the press in holding power, and specifically the political-intelligence elite, to account. Atten- tion to such public oversight mechanisms facilitates critical interrogation of issues of surveillant power, resistance and intelligence accountability. It directs attention to the veillant panoptic assemblage (an arrangement of profoundly une- qual mutual watching, where citizens’ watching of self and others is, through corporate channels of data flow, fed back into state surveillance of citizens). Finally, it enables evaluation of post-Snowden steps taken towards achieving an equiveillant panoptic assemblage (where, alongside state and corporate surveillance of citizens, the intelligence-power elite, to ensure its accountability, faces robust scrutiny and action from wider civil society).

    Report of the Inter-agency Task Force on Financing for Development FINANCING FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT REPORT 2019 asdf United Nations New York, 2019 This report is a joint product of the members of the Inter-agency Task Force on Financing for Devel- opment (a full list of members can be found on page x). The Financing for Sustainable Development Office of then U ited Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs serves as the coordinator and substantive editor of the Financing for Sustainable Development report. The online annex of the Task Force (http://developmentfinance.un.org) comprehensively monitors progress in implementation of the Financing for Development outcomes, including the Addis Ababa Action Agenda and relevant means of implementation targets of the Sustainable Development Goals. It provides the complete evidence base for the Task Force’s annual report on progress in the seven action areas of the Addis Agenda (chapters III.A–III.G). The report is by necessity more concise and selective and should thus be read in conjunction with the online annex. The online annex also covers several key cross-cutting initiatives that build on the synergies of the Sustainable Development Goals: Delivering social protection and essential public services Ending hunger and malnutrition Closing the infrastructure gap Promoting inclusive and sustainable industrialization Generating full and productive employment for all Protecting ecosystems Promoting peaceful and inclusive societies Gender equality Investing in children and youth Addressing the diverse needs and challenges faced by countries in special situations Global partnership Inquiries about the Task Force or its report and online annex can be sent to: Financing for Sustainable Development Office Department of Economic and Social Affairs 2 United Nations Plaza (DC2- 2170) New York, N.Y.

CITY OF LONDON - DAY 1 An aerial shot of The Shard and surrounding skyscrapers glistening in the capital’s financial centre. 2 INT. THE SHARD, CORRIDOR/MEETING ROOM - DAY 2 Shiny elevator doors open and a smartly dressed junior banker steps out clutching some printouts and strides down the corridor of an impossibly modern office building. He walks purposefully, checking his hair in the glass paneling, running his fingers through it, straightening his cuffs. It’s obvious he has a pretty high opinion of himself. He comes to a door, opens it with a pass-card, and we follow him into a large meeting room with a commanding view of the city of London. Two high powered and stony faced executives are sitting at a conference table and another is standing, looking out of the window. Two youthful solar company entrepreneurs are presenting a business proposition. It’s not a meeting that any Detectorists fan would want to be in. ENTREPRENEUR No noise. No odours, no moving parts. Effectively it’s a lid. A power-generating lid of solar panels that we pop over the farmland, switch on, sit back and pray for sunshine...

  • The Human Planet
    INTRODUCTION: THE HUMAN PLANET our and a half billion years ago, out of the dirty halo of cosmic dust left over from the creation of our sun, a spinning clump of minerals F coalesced. Earth was born, the third rock from the sun. Soon after, a big rock crashed into our planet, shaving a huge chunk off, forming the moon and knocking our world on to a tilted axis. The tilt gave us seasons and currents and the moon brought ocean tides. These helped provide the conditions for life, which first emerged some 4 billion years ago. Over the next 3.5 billion years, the planet swung in and out of extreme glaciations. When the last of these ended, there was an explosion of complex multicellular life forms. The rest is history, tattooed into the planet’s skin in three-dimensional fossil portraits of fantastical creatures, such as long-necked dinosaurs and lizard birds, huge insects and alien fish. The emergence of life on Earth fundamentally changed the physics of the planet.1 Plants sped up the slow 1 429HH_tx.indd 1 17/09/2014 08:22 ADVENTURES IN THE ANTHROPOCENE breakdown of rocks with their roots, helping erode channels down which rainfall coursed, creating rivers. Photosynthesis transformed the chemistry of the atmosphere and oceans, imbued the Earth system with chemical energy, and altered the global climate. Animals ate the plants, modifying again the Earth’s chemistry. In return, the physical planet dictated the biology of Earth. Life evolves in response to geological, physical and chemical conditions. In the past 500 million years, there have been five mass extinctions triggered by supervolcanic erup- tions, asteroid impacts and other enormous planetary events that dramatically altered the climate.2 After each of these, the survivors regrouped, proliferated and evolved.
