\"Predator\"<\/a>CSIS has just released its 2015 Global Forecast<\/a> which examines the crises and opportunities likely to arise in the year ahead. But you\u2019ll have to flick past chapters on Putin\u2019s new Russia and US influence in the Middle East before you get to the section on Asia, which begins with an essay on Asian perceptions of the rebalance<\/a> (PDF).<\/p>\n

What would you do with a cool US$180 million? To put the price of the next generation aircraft in perspective, Defense One<\/em> editor Patrick Tucker uses cost estimates generated by NASA\u2019s chief scientist to find five things you can buy for the price of an F-35<\/a>. Focusing on trade-offs in national security, Tucker\u2019s list includes boosting literacy (and he explains why this is military-related) and building a robotic air force.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s been a year since the International Court of Justice revised its decision on who\u2014Thailand or Cambodia\u2014owned the disputed Preah Vihear temple but, as Greg Raymond notes, not a lot has happened on implementing the revised judgement<\/a>. For more on the challenges in intra-ASEAN border issues, keep reading his explanation for the lag here<\/a>. Also on Cambodia, with the ASEAN Economic Community set to be established in 2015 (but likely to be delayed), read Heng Pheakdey\u2019s piece on how to unlock the country\u2019s economic growth<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Cash doesn\u2019t rule everything around China<\/a>, writes Joseph Nye. While the World Bank has announced China\u2019s economy will surpass the US\u2019 (in PPP terms) this year, Nye argues differences in structure and sophistication between the economies, not to mention an ageing work force, mean China won\u2019t challenge US economic power for some time.<\/p>\n

Next are two items from the Center for a New American Security: the first by Ely Ratner asks, can China make peace in the South China Sea<\/a>? It\u2019s part of a larger collection of essays<\/a> penned by American and Chinese foreign policy experts that explores the different visions that the US and China have for Asia-Pacific security order.<\/p>\n

The second is a brief piece by Michael Horowitz, Paul Scharre and Kelley Sayler on lethal autonomous weapons systems (LAWS) and the United Nations<\/a>. LAWS can select and engage targets without further human intervention, and while they don\u2019t exist today, read why the authors argue it\u2019s better to discuss the legal, policy, moral and ethical issues associated with them sooner rather than later.<\/p>\n

Also on technology, the Philae lander on Comet 67P\/Churyumov-Gerasimenko<\/a> has beamed back images of what comets look like, but what do they sound like? Like Predator<\/em><\/a>, apparently. Although sound doesn\u2019t travel in space, what you\u2019ll hear are variations in the magnetic field around the comet<\/a> converted into frequencies within the human hearing range. Keep reading here<\/a> about what the scientists think are making the alien clicks and growls.<\/p>\n

Wilfred Owen\u2019s poetry, the New Dinkum Aussie Dictionary and the novel Trainspotting<\/em> are among the books banned from detainees at Guant\u00e1namo Bay<\/a>. VICE has published the thoughts of 14 writers<\/a>, some of whom made the Gitmo blacklist, on why the Pentagon has beef with some of their books.<\/p>\n

Lastly, if you need a quick primer on what \u2018net neutrality\u2019 means, look no further than this comic by The Oatmeal that breaks down the issue<\/a> in simple yet colourful language.<\/p>\n

Canberra: How hierarchic was the historical East Asian system?<\/a> Dr Feng Zhang looks back to \u2018early modern\u2019 East Asia (1368\u20131800) and China\u2019s ties with Korea, Japan and the Mongols to answer this question. Head to ANU\u2019s Hedley Bull Centre on Monday 17 November at 12.30pm, details here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
