_______
PLANET EARTH AT ITS RUBICON
14
Mankind has reached a critical stage in its evolution and has to come
to grips with daunting environmental and existential challenges. After
behaving as the rulers of their local world for many centuries, human
beings must acknowledge that they are a relatively minor species on
one of an essentially infinite number of planets and that they may be
about to kill all earthly life, including their own, by their irresponsibly
aggressiveandgreedy actions. Former Canadian Deputy Prime Minister
PaulHellyer spells out some of the facts that condition our survival
and should inspire our collective behaviour.
CULTURAL CONFIGURATIONS OF VALUES
28
All cultures are infused by or even rooted in certain values. Although
these values are generally recognised in all societies, they are diversely
ranked or prioritised in different human groups; varying perceptions
pardy
account for cultural diversity as not all values can be equally
upheld in any community or by any individual. ChenyangLi argues
that though value
universalism
in a strict sense is unachievable, we can
all agree on a pluralistic mutual understanding of and tolerance for
diversity.
INVESTIGATING UNIVERSAL MORALITY
50
Human value systems are determined, or at least influenced by cultural
prejudices, which often blind us to certain aspects of reality when they
contradict inherited beliefs or established theories. Brent Smith calls
for a worldwide prpcess of self-reflexity to develop our understanding
and communicating abilities as a species, between ourselves and with
the universe at large.

THE CHANGING SITUATION WITH BRITISH NATIONAL
56
SECURITY SECRETS
For three years in the British Ministry of Defence, the author ran the
Unidentified Flying Object (UFO) Project—investigating sightings
reported to the government, looking for evidence of potential threats
or anything judged to be of defence significance . In
2007,
the French
Government released its archive of UFO files followed by the British
Government in
2008.
Nick Pope clarifies die position, explains what
has already happened, what is happening and whatfuture developments
people can expect.
SWITCHING ON THE COSMIC CONNECTION: ARE WE
64
READY TO JOIN AN INTERPLANETARY COMMUNITY?
Come Carpentier
De Gourdon
points out that scientific and
technological progress, particularly in the last few decades, reflects the
influence of new knowledge systems and notions of reality that are
forcing us to gradually discard some of our most cherished religious
and
epistemic
concepts while reviving some long forgotten myths and
traditions. The evidence that we are part of a very complex and
probably densely populated universe shows that we must reorganise
our institutions and change our frames of reference in order to move
on to the next evolutionary level as a planetary species, related to the
Cosmos at large.
GLOBALISATION—A HUMAN RIGHTS PERSPECTIVE
84
Globalisation is an overwhelming, seemingly irreversible process,
transforming all economic, political, social and cultural realities.
While its real and assumed benefits are celebrated by dominant powers,
its negative or problematic effects are becoming ever more apparent,
in the midst of
Ůxc
major international crisis that has just begun.
CSheeUReddy makes a case for building environmentally and socially
responsible, equitable and democratic systems capable of effectively
managing globalisation by mitigating its adverse impacts and
consequences.

dysfunctional global military footprint, the US Government must
carry out a major and necessarily painful transformation of its domestic
and foreign policies to help build a multilateral, fair and democratic
world order. Ismail Shariff notes that America will have to share
power with other nations if solutions are to be implemented for the
most critical crises affecting the planet as a whole, some of which
threaten the very survival of the USA.
THE COMMON GOOD CORPORATION
108
If modern economic societies consist of three sectors: governments,
corporations and not-for-profit associations, then a fourth sector can
be seen taking shape in the more advanced economies. It is made up
of enterprises dedicated to the universal common good. Terry Mollner
describes the emergence and salient features of this fourth sector,
dedicated to managing resources and securing profits in the general
interest.
EXOPOLITICS: DISCIPLINE OF CHOICE FOR PUBLIC
114
POLICY ISSUES
Michael
E
Salla
points out that recently, many former high officials
have publicly disclosed direct experiences with advanced extraterrestrial
lifeforms and have acknowledged government suppression of the
relevant hard data. Exopolitics focuses on the public policy implications
of the evidence concerning extraterrestrial life, unlike traditional
Urology, which merely seeks to conduct rigorous scientific analysis to
confirm the facts. It is high time to involve the public in this issue of
critical relevance, which remains hitherto mostly restricted to the area
of national security.
A NEW SCIENCE FOR A POSITIVE HUMAN FUTURE
130
Exopolitics, the new Political Science of outer space, aims to define
relations between our human civilisation and other intelligent
organisations in the Universe. Like all models, Exopolitics provides a
path for minds to go where they have not ventured before. Since its
first formal expression in
2000,
the Exopolitics Model has provided
an accelerating interface between human and visiting extraterrestrial
societies. Alfred Lambremont
Webre,
one of its founders, makes the

case that in our era, it may function as a new survival and evolutionary
toolkit for humanity.
TURNING THE PAGE
154
The future of mankind is under major threat, partly because of our
growing interference with the planetary eco-system and our frantic
consumption of natural resources. According to
Antonello
Lupino
and
Paola Leopizzi
Harris our political and scientific leaders seem to
have ignored warnings and advice that might have spared us much of
our current crisis. Is there still time to change course and build a
harmonious global civilisation, rooted in the principles of universal
peaceful coexistence and ecological wisdom?
REVIEWESSAY_________________________________________________________
POLITICAL AND ECONOMIC DIMENSIONS OF
164
SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT
Global warming is only one the major symptoms of the plane
u n
ecological crisis which threatens the survival of mankind and mam
other living species. Naresh Kumar Verma argues that the remedial
measures adopted so far are clearly insufficient as they generally do no
t
address the causes of environmental degradation. Attempts at
conservation often ignore the larger sustainable development imperative
.
Beyond palliative legislation, the globalised liberal economic system
must be tackled, since it is the main destructive factor.
