This paper is a revised version of a paper given at the Conference ‘Management Challenges in 21st Century Policing’ Chateau Laurier, Ottawa, Canada, 22nd to 24th September, 1995. The Government's police reform programme has brought change and considerable uncertainty. It has raised some uncertainties in the police service in England and Wales about its future role and the way in which it is going to be judged in the future. The managerial freedom promised by the Government has been constrained and potentially damaged by the application of central direction. In addition, severe financial constraints make evident the future challenges for the senior management of police services.

Modern human progress is a threat to future human progress – no other paradox in the 21st century can be more striking than this. Despite advances in science, technology, and knowledge, the world continues to be weighed down by a collision of crises in relation to economy, politics, social justice, environment, health, and morality. This paper suggests that laws, policies, and technologies (whether on their own or together) are not potent enough to define sustainable progress in the 21st century. Religious ethics is the missing piece in the puzzle; human creativity needs to be channelled, rather than bound, by ethical principles towards achieving moderation and wellbeing. In relation to Islamic Governance, the guiding light of ethics is inextricably woven into its operational framework. Much like the necessity of water for the human body, ethics is needed to “nourish” Islamic Governance from within to prevent the system from dysfunction and collapsing. As ethics needs to be grounded in action and defined for the present and the future, the dual tasks of “acting” and “defining” must be shared by both the government and the general citizens alike. It is the duty of the present to ensure a sustainable world for the future.

Gaulish is a language in the Celtic language family, documented in Gaul (France and surrounding territories) from around the 2nd century BC and through the Roman period. This idiom is presented primarily in Greek (Gallo-Greek) and Latin (Gallo-Latin) script, with a small number of Gaulish texts also attested in Etruscan alphabet in Italy (Gallo-Etruscan) and Gaulish names in Iberian script. In this article we detail our knowledge of the linguistic content, context and classification of Gaulish, and consider the epigraphic corpus, naming practices, writing systems and the cultural interactions that shape this material. Finally, we discuss the future challenges for the study of Gaulish and some of the work that is underway which will drive our research in the 21st century.
