Numerous international scandals have created a sense that the moral fiber of our companies is poor. Below, David De Cremer considers why it is so difficult to make responsible leadership a part of contemporary corporate culture, and argues that as a collective we need to work on the management of responsibility in business.

Terrorist attacks in the last decade have profoundly altered and reshaped the priorities of many legal systems. Below, Aniceto Masferrer and Clive Walker suggest the important theme of crossing legal categories represents a recurrent issue which underlies counter-terrorism laws, and argue that boundary-crossing must be considered carefully, without any expectation that it will deliver greater security.
