3This article presents the findings of 51 interviews with foreign national prisoners in Flanders (Belgium). Following an appreciative inquiry stance, the aim is to understand how foreign nationals experience (accessibility to) prison activities (for example, education, work, sports activities and worship) and to investigate if and how this differs between foreign-speaking and Dutchspeaking foreign nationals. A thematic analysis of the interviews revealed several components of the activities offered that were perceived by the foreign nationals to be ‘working well’ and revealed several dreams concerning the activities for foreign nationals. Within each theme considered, similarities and dissimilarities among foreign-speaking and Dutch-speaking foreign nationals are described. This article argues that foreign nationals are confronted with a new pain of imprisonment, namely ‘the pain of (non-)participation’. The findings could enable a shift from supply-driven to tailor-made activities for foreign national prisoners.

This scoping review investigated foreign national and ethnic minority prisoners’ participation in formally organized occupations (prison activities) such as active citizenship, healthcare and treatment, leisure time, and reintegration occupations. It aimed to: (1) map available studies on both groups of prisoners’ participation in these occupations within prisons, and (2) evaluate existing research topics on participation and types of occupations available in prisons. Following a search in electronic databases, manual searches, and expert consultation, 36 studies met the inclusion criteria. Data from these studies were extracted and synthesized qualitatively. The results demonstrate that most literature has focused on ethnic minorities’ participation, rather than that of foreign nationals. There was also unequal research attention regarding types of prison occupations studied, with healthcare and treatment programs predominating. In addition, this review provides some evidence for the importance of acknowledging and considering the ‘cultural’ diversity among prisoners in providing occupations to them. Research gaps and future research avenues on this topic are identified. Finally, the limitations and the implications of this review are considered.

This mixed-method study first provides insight into the Belgian prison population — particularly foreign national prisoners — based on an analysis of the penal database SIDIS Suite (N = 10,356). Second, qualitative telephone interviews have been conducted with the activity coordinators of all Flemish and Brussels prisons (N = 17) to investigate which prison activities (e.g., cultural, educational, and health-related activities, sports, vocational training, and forensic welfare services) are available to, and accessible by, foreign national prisoners. This article demonstrates several initiatives that have been taken to enhance foreign nationals’ participation in prison activities and highlights the struggles that activity coordinators face in offering activities that are suitable for this population.

This paper investigates the role of informal peer support as a bridge for participation by foreign national prisoners in prison activities (e.g. education, work, sports activities, library) and services (e.g. psychologist, doctor). A total of 51 individual interviews, following an appreciative inquiry perspective, were conducted with foreign nationals in four prisons in Flanders (Belgium).

In 2018 heeft bijna 45% van de gedetineerdenpopulatie een niet-Belgische nationaliteit.1 Ondanks dit aanzienlijk aandeel bleef aandacht voor de participatie aan gevangenisactiviteiten van deze groep eerder beperkt in onderzoek, beleid en praktijk. Als reactie op deze onderzoeksleemte startte in 2017 het doctoraatsonderzoek van Flore Croux in kader van het FIP2-project over de participatie van niet-Belgische gedetineerden aan gevangenisactiviteiten.2 Deze bijdrage presenteert vijf sleutelbevindingen uit dit doctoraatsonderzoek en formuleert drie kansen voor de toekomst.

Samenvatting bestaat uit 9 pagina's voorin rapport. Onderstaande samenvatting is ontleend aan de website van Reclassering Nederland: Bureau Buitenland en zijn vrijwilligers doen waardevol werk voor Nederlanders die in het buitenland in de gevangenis zitten. Zij maken de detentieomstandigheden humaner, maar de buitenlandse gevangenis is geen geschikte plek om aan gedragsverandering te werken. Veiligheid en je staande houden tijdens detentie zijn belangrijkere thema’s. Ook blijkt de overdracht van zorg naar Nederland gecompliceerd, waardoor het vaak ontbreekt aan begeleiding na thuiskomst. Dit zijn enkele bevindingen uit het onderzoek , ‘Geronseld gegokt, gepakt en gesteund’, naar de praktijk en het bestaansrecht van Bureau Buitenland van Reclassering Nederland. Het Expertisecentrum van Hogeschool Avans Den Bosch voerde het onderzoek in opdracht van Reclassering Nederland uit tussen 2011 en 2015. Nederland heeft in vergelijking met andere landen een hoog aantal gedetineerden landgenoten in buitenlandse gevangenissen. In 2013 zat bijna 30% van de totale populatie gedetineerde Nederlanders in het buitenland vast. Bureau Buitenland begeleidt deze mensen in een vrijwillig kader. Bureau Buitenland, opgericht in 1975, is onderdeel van Reclassering Nederland.

Ongeveer 44% van de gedetineerden heeft een niet-Belgische nationaliteit. Onderzoek naar deze populatie blijft echter zeer beperkt. Besteedt men in gevangenissen aandacht aan participatie en inspraak van niet-Belgische gedetineerden of is het – net zoals in onderzoek – een vergeten groep?1 Deze bijdrage schetst een “helikopteroverzicht” van de participatie- en inspraakmogelijkheden voor niet-Belgische gedetineerden o.b.v. 20 interviews met beleidscoördinatoren2 en Vlaamse consulenten in het kader van de aanpak van radicalisering3 die afgenomen zijn in het kader van het FIP2-project (Foreigners Involvement and Participation in Prison).4

De versnippering van de internationale samenleving vermindert de kans op een overkoepelend model van global governance. Meer waarschijnlijk is het ontstaan van bepaalde processen van bestuur die zich ontwikkelen als reactie op specifieke mondiale vraagstukken. Dit artikel beschrijft het proces van implementatie van de US Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) als een voorbeeld van een dergelijk bijzonder proces. Het FCPA 'model' wordt gekenmerkt door samenwerking en onderhandeling tussen de publieke en private sector. In dit model is het samenwerken voor het bieden van maatschappelijke veiligheid gebaseerd op wederzijds belang. De mogelijkheid van onderhandelde regelingen heeft een positief effect op het management van corruptie door bedrijven, dat zich verspreidt over de hele invloedsfeer van de onderneming. Tegelijkertijd biedt het de overheid toegang tot de informatie die nodig is om corruptie op te sporen, te onderzoeken en te vervolgen. Het in kaart brengen van dergelijke processen biedt nuttige inzichten over nieuwe benaderingen die nodig kunnen zijn om goed bestuur voor een veilige wereld te bereiken. ABSTRACT The fragmentation of international society reduces the likelihood of a single overarching model of global governance. More likely, is the emergence of particular processes of governance that develop in response to specific global issues. The paper describes the process of implementing the US Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) as an example of one such particular process. The FCPA 'model' is characterized by co-operation and negotiation between the public and private sector. In this model, partnering for the provision of security is based on mutual self- interest. The possibility of negotiated settlements has a positive effect on the management of corruption by corporations with a ripple effect throughout the corporations' sphere of influence. At the same time, it provides governments with access to the information necessary to detect, investigate and prosecute corruption. Mapping such processes provides useful insights about new approaches that may be needed to attain good governance for a safe world.

With the EU struggling to maintain itself, it is highly relevant to look into the drive for and original vision on European unification of its principal architect, Robert Schuman, then French Minister of Foreign Affairs. The Schuman Declaration (1950) gave birth to the EU and procured the longest period of peace among its member states since the Treaty of Verdun (843). This article shows how Schuman’s Catholic faith influenced his life and therefore his politics. His drive to be a faithful instrument of Providence, supported by his origins from Alsace-Lorraine, made him strive towards peace on the European continent. He envisaged a European political integration through economic cooperation at the service of man and his transcendence and rooted in the common European spiritual and cultural heritage. This implied reconciliation, effective solidarity, subsidiarity and supranationality for European common interests through an integration in small steps.

This article is about the effect of local tailored interventions to counter (violent) extremism, and therefore contributes to the academic and policy debates. It focusses on local, professional perspectives on person-specific interventions utilising a Dutch case study as the basis. The interventions are part of the wider-ranging counter terrorism policy that entails (local) measures that are deployed in relation to designated high-risk individuals and groups. By reviewing policy documents and conducting semi-structured interviews, the exploratory study concludes that the key factors for a hand-tailored intervention are a solid network, expert knowledge to assess potential signs of extremist ideology, an awareness of not having too many concurrent measures, good inter-institutional cooperation and information-sharing. The professionals involved felt that person-specific interventions have contributed to reducing the threat of religious extremism in the Netherlands. Nonetheless, municipal officials and security agents emphasised the importance of setting realistic goals and a focus on preventive rather than repressive measures. Furthermore, despite the central role that municipal actors play, they run up against problems such as cooperation within the security and care sector. National entities appear to emphasize information-gathering and monitoring more than community-focused cooperation. Thereby questioning whether, on the national level, local professionals are perceived as playing a key role in dealing with extremism.
