Isoleer asocialen in tuigdorpen, vindt de PVV. De vraag is vooralsnog hoe serieus het voorstel is. Maar dat dit idee niet nieuw is, blijkt uit de geschiedenis van de sociale sector. Wat kunnen we van die geschiedenis leren om overlast en asociaal gedrag te bestrijden en voorkomen?

Wereld in beweging

De wereld verandert snel. Hoe moeten wij ons op de toekomst voorbereiden? Dat begint met een goed begrip van hoe de wereld feitelijk in elkaar zit, wat de drijvende krachten zijn, hoe machtspolitiek van de grote mogendheden op andere landen inwerkt en aan welke eisen van volkenrecht en politieke ethiek goed beleid hoort te voldoen. Ook de werking van de mondiale economie en van internationale organisaties als de VN, de NAVO en de EU is erg belangrijk. Dit studieboek geeft een inleiding in de leer van de internationale betrekkingen. Deskundigen leggen helder uit hoe de huidige politieke wereld is ontstaan, wat er op de agenda van het buitenlands beleid staat, en in welke richting de mondiale problematiek zich ontwikkelt. Wat is het risico op nieuwe oorlogen? Zou de Europese Unie uiteen kunnen vallen? Waarom is er ontwikkelingssamenwerking? Hoe op te treden tegen agressie en schendingen van het volkenrecht en de rechten van de mens? Hoe kunnen kleine, maar welvarende en moderne landen als Nederland en België zich staande houden en voor een veilige toekomst helpen zorgen? Horen we vooral het nationale belang te behartigen of moeten we ons als echte wereldburgers opstellen? Hoe is er opbouwende invloed uit te oefenen, als burger, kiezer, politicus, belangenbehartiger of activist voor goede doelen? Dat zijn relevante vragen die steeds opnieuw, kritisch nadenkend, moeten worden beantwoord om betere resultaten te boeken. Wereld in Beweging is een handreiking daarvoor. Dit is de 2de druk van deze publicatie. De 3de druk is in 2021 verschenen: https://www.boomdenhaag.nl/webshop/wereld-in-beweging-2

Consent in action: Learning from artistic research within an institutional review context

This article examines how artistic research practices challenge and reconfigure institutional approaches toresearch ethics. Focusing on the case of Performing Working —a doctoral project in the arts that was the first toundergo ethical review at the University of the Arts Utrecht —it investigates how forms of consent, researcherroles, and institutional responsibility are negotiated when research is processual, embodied, and collaborativelydeveloped.The article draws on a collaborative autoethnographic reflection involving the artist-researcher, a researchparticipant, and members of the ethics committee. Care ethics is used as a conceptual lens to analyse the ethicaldimensions of the case, foregrounding relationality, vulnerability, and attention to power. Rather than treatingethical approval as a one-off procedural hurdle, the analysis highlights ethics as an ongoing, situated practicethat unfolds through dialogue, friction, and mutual attunement.Artistic research is presented here as a ‘hard case’ that reveals structural frictions in existing review systems.At the same time, it offers alternative imaginaries and practices for dealing with complexity, uncertainty, and co-responsibility in research. While grounded in an artistic context, the article speaks to broader concerns inqualitative research methodology, particularly in fields that engage with lived experience, reflexivity, and sharedauthority. Ethics is reframed not merely as compliance, but as integral to how research is shaped, shared, andheld accountable across diverse domains.

How to deal with the German menace? West German rearmament, proposals for a common European army, and the Dutch and West German response, 1949-1945

At the end of the 1940s and the early 1950s, the question whether or not to rearm West Germany was a fiercely and hotly debated topic in Europe. The Americans suggested doing this by integrating the Federal Republic in NATO. However, many Europeans feared the resurgence of German militarism. Nowhere was this more true than in France. Therefore, the French Foreign Minister René Pleven launched the so-called Pleven Plan, designed to allow West German units to be established, but only in small units. That way, Europe could profit from West Germany’s manpower, without the country becoming a military threat. Discussions on the European Defence Community were tough, but in the end was signed by the six Founding Fathers. The Dutch did so reluctantly, especially because the Americans were left out, favouring security arrangements in NATO and rearming and incorporating West Germany in the Western alliance. To the Netherlands, it was essential to incorporate the British and especially the Americans in the Western defense; the Dutch always favoured an Atlantic alliance, opposing too much supranationality in the European integration project. The Federal Republic of Germany on the other hand, saw it as an opportunity to regain sovereignty. In the end, the French National Assembly did not ratify the EDC-Treaty, opening the way to rearming West Germany and making it a full member of NATO. https://www.ceeol.com/search/article-detail?id=735130 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/martijn-lak-71793013/

Global Games

Sport kan net als kunst, muziek en kleding ook worden gezien als een maatschappelijk verschijnsel dat inzicht geeft in de hedendaagse cultuur. Verborgen competitie belicht juist deze kant van de sport. Hierbij staan eenvoudige vragen centraal die velen interesseren, maar waaraan nog maar weinigen aandacht hebben besteed. Waarom behoort American football tot de populairste sporten van de Verenigde Staten, is China een tafeltennisbolwerk, Nederland een schaatsland en Nieuw-Zeeland een rugbynatie? Waarom wordt voetbal wereldwijd massaal beoefend en kent korfbal alleen in ons land een grote populariteit? Maarten van Bottenburg beschrijft de verspreiding en popularisering van ongeveer dertig sporten over de hele wereld in de afgelopen honderd jaar en biedt de lezer daarmee een mondiaal sportpanorama. Door het lezen van Verborgen competitie krijgt u meer inzicht in de mondialisering van de hedendaagse cultuur en in de wijze waarop mensen zich door hun sportvoorkeuren aan anderen binden of zich van hen onderscheiden.

Tackling the COVID-19 pandemic

The COVID-19 pandemic has sparked the debate on strengthening European-level cooperation and solidarity in tackling the disease. The debate has focused on several questions: Given the common threat to public health, is conferral of more competences upon the EU (1) desirable and (2) feasible? As for desirability: Can the EU better achieve the public health goals than Member States can and is there an added value in increasing EU competences? As for feasibility: Can a competence increase be carried out in practice - given the cross-country differences in the organizational and managerial features of national healthcare systems? Healthcare systems are influenced by the underlying normative aspirations, historic legacies, and level of economic development of the given country. They are characterized by a high degree of government intervention and absorb a significant share of public funds, so no wonder this sector is politically sensitive. So concretely, if more powers are to be conferred upon the EU, what exactly should these powers consist of, bearing in mind the principles of subsidiarity and proportionality?

Wearable technology in the workplace to tackle the COVID-19 pandemic?

Werkgevers in de Europese Unie gebruiken draagbare technologie, zoals smartphones, om er preventief voor te zorgen dat hun bedrijf geen besmettingshaard wordt. Door bron- en contactonderzoek en tracking van werknemers proberen zij dat te bereiken. Maar hoe zit dit in relatie tot de Europese AVG-regels? Stefania Marassi van de Haagse Hogeschool stelt dat er strikte voorwaarden moeten zijn om deze technologie te mogen gebruiken.

Employability and innovative work behaviours in SMEs in a Euroregion

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate possible differences in the degrees of employability, leader–member exchange (LMX) and innovative work behaviours in a comparison between Belgium and the Netherlands. Although neighbouring countries, disparate national cultures between the two are assumed to influence the amount of employability, LMX and innovative work behaviours among their respective working populations. Furthermore, this paper aims to validate a mediation model across the two countries to test whether employability (partially) mediates the relationship between LMX and innovative work behaviours. Design/methodology/approach Data from employees and their immediate supervisors working in small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Belgium and the Netherlands supported the hypothesized model. Structural equation modelling was used to investigate the mediation model using a multisource approach. Findings The amount of employability and innovative work behaviours of employees appeared to differ significantly between Belgium and the Netherlands. Furthermore, the results suggested that for both countries a positive relationship with one’s immediate supervisor (LMX) is beneficial in the light of workers’ innovative work behaviours, through its impact on employability, which was found to be a full mediator in this relationship. Research limitations/implications Future studies using a longitudinal approach could give more insight into the model relationships. Moreover, the variation in systems, national contexts and managerial practices in the Euroregion calls for more cross-national comparative scholarly research. Practical implications SMEs often do not employ professionals to manage human resources, that is, supervisors themselves have to carry the responsibility to encourage employees to further develop themselves and to enhance their innovative work behaviours. This while the challenge of more cross-national cooperation encourages a boost for innovations in the Euroregion. Originality/value This study is the first cross-national validation of a mediation model wherein a competence-based measure of employability is incorporated as a possible mediator in the relationship between LMX and innovative work behaviours.
