TitleAstronomers as Diplomats : When the IAU Builds Bridges Between Nations
Author(s)Montmerle, Thierry;Fauque, Danielle
PublicationCham, 1. Imprint: Springer 2. Springer International Publishing, 2022.
DescriptionXXV, 511 p. 224 illus., 127 illus. in color : online resource
Abstract NoteThis book illuminates a few highly significant events in history in which astronomers have helped keep contacts between astronomers of different states in moments of international political tensions or even crises. The chapters, written by 20 international authors, focus on four periods where astronomers were particularly active in international relations: 1. The WWI period, the epoch of the creation of the IAU, in the context of the simultaneous creation of other scientific unions. The book also singles out the important role of A.S. Eddington and his network ???across forbidden borders???. 2. The Cold war period and its consequences, when several countries were divided between opposite blocs. ???The China crisis??? is told here from different viewpoints by Chinese astronomers, both from the mainland and from Taiwan, in parallel with the evolution of astronomy in South and North Korea. Germany???s twisted path in its membership of the IAU, from its admission in 1951 to its reunification in 1991 is shown as another example. 3. The book then highlights a third period, when radio astronomers, in particular, were very active in ???building bridges??? between East and West. It also tells the history of how the apparently innocuous issue of the ???lunar nomenclature??? became extremely sensitive. The part ends on two chapters on Russian robotic missions and lunar surface features as well on the Russian participation in the ???International Virtual Observatory??? project. 4. The fourth part reports for the first time on the ???hidden story??? of the relations between the IAU and the United Nations after the ???Moon race??? when the United Nations decided to challenge the IAU???s authority on ???extraterrestrial names???. The final chapter reviews how twenty years later UNESCO and the IAU had become strong partners in the difficult, but highly successful organization of the International Year of Astronomy (2002-2009), and of the ???Astronomy and World Heritage??? intitiative (2008)

TitleEuropean-Russian Space Cooperation : From de Gaulle to ExoMars
Author(s)Harvey, Brian
PublicationCham, Springer International Publishing, 2021.
DescriptionXII, 406 p. 215 illus., 190 illus. in color : online resource
Abstract NoteThe story of European-Russian collaboration in space is little known and its importance all too often understated. Because France was the principal interlocutor between these nations, such cooperation did not receive the attention it deserved in English-language literature. This book rectifies that history, showing how Russia and Europe forged a successful partnership that has continued to the present day. Space writer Brian Harvey provides an in-depth picture of how this European-Russian relationship evolved and what factors???scientific, political and industrial???propelled it over the decades. The history begins in the cold war period with the first collaborative ventures between the Soviet Union and European countries, primarily France, followed later by Germany and other European countries. Next, the chapters turn to the missions when European astronauts flew to Russian space stations, the Soyuz rocket made a new home in European territory in the South American jungle and science missions were flown to study deep space. Their climax is the joint mission to explore Mars, called ExoMars, which has already sent a mission to Mars. Through this close examination of these European-Russian efforts, readers will appreciate an altogether new perspective on the history of space exploration, no longer defined by competition, but rather by collaboration and cooperation

TitleInternational Cooperation for Enhancing Nuclear Safety, Security, Safeguards and Non-proliferation : Proceedings of the XIX Edoardo Amaldi Conference, Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei, Rome, Italy, March 30-31, 2015
Author(s)Maiani, Luciano;Abousahl, Said;Plastino, Wolfango
PublicationCham, Springer International Publishing, 2016.
DescriptionXXIV, 125 p. 1 illus : online resource
Abstract NoteThis book, comprising contributions presented at the XIX Edoardo Amaldi Conference, examines important aspects of international cooperation aimed at enhancing nuclear safety, security, safeguards (the ???3S???), and non-proliferation, thereby assisting in the development and maintenance of the verification regime and progress toward a nuclear weapon-free world. The Conference served as a forum where eminent scientists, diplomats, and policymakers could compare national perspectives and update international collaborations. The book opens by addressing the political, institutional, and legal dimensions of the 3S and non-proliferation; current challenges are discussed and attempts made to identify possible solutions and future improvements. Subsequent sections consider scientific developments that can contribute to increased effectiveness in the implementation of international regimes, particularly in critical areas, technology foresight, and the ongoing evaluation of current capabilities. The closing sections discuss scientific and technical challenges to the effective implementation of the 3S approach and the role of international cooperation and scientific community actions in leading the world toward peace and security

Abstract NoteThe present work investigates global politics and political implications of social science and management with the aid of the latest complexity and chaos theories. Until now, deterministic chaos and nonlinear analysis have not been a focal point in this area of research. This book remedies this deficiency by utilizing these methods in the analysis of the subject matter. The authors provide the reader a detailed analysis on politics and its associated applications with the help of chaos theory, in a single edited volume
