PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to illustrate how Dutch society is dealing with its history and why the past is a bad guide to the future.Design/methodology/approachThe paper is a desk research based on newspaper articles and other literature.FindingsThe paper finds that Dutch society is strongly influenced by its history but past solutions for current societal problems that are based on historical analogies are wrong and even dangerous.Research limitations/implicationsThis paper is focused only on Dutch society. It would be interesting to see whether the Dutch situation is also applicable to other Western European countries.Practical implicationsTo make the Dutch society more future‐oriented there are four recommendations: make "the future" a subject in schools; extend the Dutch government mandates to eight years; force managers and politicians to measure their investments, plans and ideas against future developments; and the foundation of a future museum and a canon for the future.Originality/valueMost futures researchers do not oppose history as a guide to the future because they often (wrongly) see the past as a source of information and knowledge that can serve the future.

Decades after Francis Fukuyama's 'end of history' thesis became famous, the conflicts and turmoil of history have returned; Dr. Kicmari, having seen his own native land erupt in a European civil war in the 1990s, has been thinking about these issues for many years. This book highlights the return of ideology to international relations, presenting harsh ideological models which challenge liberal democracy. This becomes even more relevant in light of the Russian invasion of Ukraine. The publication of this book aims to draw attention to the danger posed to world peace by ideological models alongside the need for commitment to strengthen democracy in the world, and should interest diplomats, journalists, and scholars. Sabri Kicmari is Ambassador of the Republic of Kosovo in Japan and has been a prominent public intellectual in his country for many years.

This short contribution is a slightly edited version of the Dean's Distinguished Lecture that Donald Quataert gave at Binghamton University on 5 November 2010—his last public lecture before his death in February 2011. Quataert was a tireless advocate of the method of "history from below," which reflects the perspectives of ordinary working men and women in the past. He saw it as a necessary corrective to much of the state-centered historiography in the field of Ottoman history. It was in this vein, too, that he trained his graduate students at Binghamton University. Quataert presented several different versions of this talk earlier at Columbia University, Cornell University, the University of Washington, and the University of Toronto. A number of footnotes and a select bibliography have been added, which may prove useful for future scholarly endeavors.

This special ebook, edited by Professor Jonathan Morris, originated in a session held at the CHARM conference in Copenhagen 2013 and presents a number of chapters in which several distinctive aspects of Italian marketing history are identified. We begin with the chapter by Nando Fasce and Elisabetta Bini ""Irresistible Empire or Innocents Abroad? American Advertising Agencies in Postwar Italy"", which contrasts the experience of JWT and McCann Erickson in establishing operations in Italy at different moments during the development of the domestic market, employing very disparate strategies to
